A pamphlet of 12 pages, of which there is a copy in the British Museum Library. On August 11th, 1646, Overton was summoned to the Bar of the House of Lords for being concerned in printing this book, and was committed to Newgate. On January 5th, 1646/7, his house was searched, when was found another treasonable work, entitled _Regal Tyranny Discovered_, &c. On his wife refusing to give any account of its author, she was committed to Bridewell for contempt.[115] 144. The Scottish Dove. Number 146 from Wednesday 5^o Augusti till 12^o Augusti, 1646. On September 10th, 1646, the House of Commons referred to the Committee for Foreign Affairs to examine who was the printer and publisher and likewise the author of this pamphlet, and to report their opinion to the House.[116] 145. Yet another word to the wise: showing that the lamentable grievances of the Parliament's friends in Cumberland and Westmerland presented by their Commissioner Mr. John Musgrave to the House of Commons above two yeares agoe, are so far yet from being redressed, that the House of Commons not only protecteth Mr. Richard Barwis one of their owne Members from the Law, being accused of High treason, as appeareth by the great charge against him in this treatise contained. As also against Sir Wilford Lawson, Commander in Chiefe of Cumberland, who betrayed that County into the enemies hands. And after he was Commissioner of array, carried Men and Arms out of the Countrey for the King against the Parliament. But instead of doing justice either against them or other accused Traytors to the Common-wealth, they have most unjustly committed that worthy gentleman, Mr. John Musgrave, (their Accuser and prosecuter) to the Fleet Prison above these 12 moneths, without any kind of allowance to himselfe or family, or so much as any appearance yet of any faire hearing, triall, or deliverance. _Matters worthy all the freemen_ of Englands serious observation. 1646. On October 3rd, 1646, the House of Commons ordered that this "scandalous pamphlet tending much to the breach of the privilege and the great scandal and contempt of this House" should be referred to the Committee formerly appointed for complaints concerning any breach of the Articles for surrender of Oxford, to examine and find out the author, printers, and publishers thereof, and to take care for the suppressing thereof.[117] A copy exists in the British Museum Library. 146. Mercurius Rusticus. The Country's Complaint, recounting the sad events of this unparalleled war. (1646.)
