1679 - October
In which an Attempted Assassination
October: the 12th, their royall highnesses, with the lady Ann and the lady Isabella, arrived at Whitehall from Holland, in their way to Scotland, whither his majestie hath given them leave to goe.
The 13th, their majesties and the court returned from Newmarket unto Whitehall.
The 15th, in councill, his majestie ordered a commission for the prorogueing of the parliament to the 26th of January next.
And was them pleased to remove the earl of Shaftsbury from the place of president of his councill.
There was also a complaint made against sir Thomas Williams, for carry false and scandalous messages between his royall highnesse and Dr. Oates, without either their privities: the said sir Thomas, being examined thereon, denied the same; but it being prov'd by three witnesses, he was thereon committed prisoner to the Gatehouse.
Dr. Oates, haveing made complaint to his majestie against sir Phillip Lloyd, he is suspended from his place as clerk of the councill.
Mowbray, the late discoverer of the plott in the north against sir Thomas Gascoign, goeing over Leicester fields, was sett upon and attempted to be stabb'd; but having a pair of bodice on, and falling down as if really dead, the assassinate fled.
About this time came out two or three seditious pamphlets; the Appeal from the Country to the Citty; a new edition of the Growth of Popery; and Great and weighty considerations touching the point of succession.
