A true relation of the proceedings of the Scotts and English forces
in the north of Ireland. 1642.
On June 8th, 1642, the House of Commons ordered that this pamphlet
should be referred to the Committee for printing, and that the
printers be sent for; and that Tobias Sedgewick, Francis Cowles,
and Thomas Baites be forthwith sent for in safe custody. Cowles
and Bates being called in before the Committee, confessed that
one White, a printer, brought the copy thereof to them before
it was printed, and offered to sell the impression thereof to
them, and they accordingly bought it and published divers printed
copies thereof. It was thereupon ordered that Cowles and Bates
should be forthwith committed prisoners to the King's Bench, and
that the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench be required to
proceed against them as publishers of false news; and the book was
ordered to be burnt by the Common Hangman in the new Palace Yard at
Westminster.
On the next day, White, the printer of the pamphlet was called in,
and confessed that he had received the letter, which was directed
from one Pike in Ireland to one Tobias Sedgwick, from Sedgwick, a
barber in the Strand; and that he carried this letter to Baites and
Cowles the stationers and read it to them, and they thereupon hired
him to print three reams of paper, and gave him therefore eighteen
shillings; he presented to the house the original letter. It was
then resolved that White should be forthwith committed to the
King's Bench prison for printing and publishing a scandalous libel
to the dishonour of the Scott's nation, and that he be referred
to the King's Bench, to be proceeded with there according to law;
but on the 15th June following all concerned were ordered to be
forthwith discharged from any farther imprisonment.[77]
