Title: | EDMUND ANDERSON to ROBERT, LORD WILLOUGHBY. |
Description: |
--The great fame of his Lordship's noble mind emboldens an unhappy man, imprisoned by an enemy's malice, to appeal to him. Hears that Mr. Boules has sounded in his Lordship's ears a false fame of their differences, and has " framed a most bloody slander" to deprive him of the King's mercy, giving out that he "should commit the inhuman act of ravishing a woman in childbed," by which his Majesty (formerly inclined to mercy) is "incensed to give way to justice and execution of law" upon his life. Prays his Lordship to consider and examine his cause. *Possibly the "Anderson condemned for murder," mentioned as reprieved in a letter in May of this year. Cal. S. P. Dom. Jas. I., 1611-18, p. 368. |
