  Anthony Alden was Tryed for speaking very scandalous Words in contempt of the Government, on the 9th of May last, the words were, That there was no King but King James only, and he would lay a Wager that King James would be in White-hall in less than three Months time, and if that Man, whom we call King William, did but know as much as he could declare, he would give him a Pension as long as he lived . The Prisoner said he was much in Drink, and knew not what he said, but owned withal that he was a Roman Catholick, all which charge against him, was fully proved; so he was found guilty of a Misdemeanour.
