Upon tiic woman being l>«ured, Mr. Pitt, Lord Carmar then, Lord Sidney, the Lari of &dilbnry» the Mailer of Nolls, and the Attorney General, were convened into the council chamber, where they proceeded to examine her.

Upon it being übferved that the paper llie prclcntcd contained no writing ; die replied, the King knew what die wanted, as lhc had often p relented petitions i which papers, it feeins, upon enquiry, appear to hare been delivered; but they abounded m the molt glaring incon- . fluencies, and were diftegarded at the tuue.
