The Proceedings of the Old Bailey

 

One   John Morgan was Indicted on the Statute, for that being born a Subject of England, and having received Orders from

the See of Rome, yet he came into and remained in England . There was very good Evidence that proved he was a Priest , and had said Mass; but as formerly, so now at Bar he freely Confest that he was a Priest. Some say he was heretofore a little crazed in his Understanding, which was probable enough by his Behaviour: However, the Offence being evident, according to Law he was found   Guilty of Felony and High-Treason, and received Sentence to be Drawn, Hanged and Quartered .
