Catalogue description ---- To the COUNTESS OF LINDSEY.

--". . . This affaire of Dr. Sacheverell stopps all sort of other businesse, and when that will be over, God knows. The pleadings both of the managers and of his counsell are all over, and now the matter is before the Lords. Lord Nottingham put this question to the judges, whether any inditement wherein the expresse words of the criminall were not inserted was good in law. The judges had time till to-day to give their answer, which was that in their Courts it was not good, but they were no judges of Parliamentary proceedings, so that now the Houses are looking after precedents, and some hope the Doctor may come off by this means, for I am told that in the parallell cases of Manwaring and Sibthorp the words upon which their impeachment was grounded are expressly sett down in the inditement. To divert your Ladyship I will sett down a short epigramm that go's about the town concerning the burning the Presbiteryan pulpits. 'Tis this--

Most moderate Whiggs, since you do boast

That you a Church of England priest will roast,

Blame not the mobb if they desire

With Presbyterian tubbs to make the fire."
