Cf. Rookwood’s case 1696. Powell, J.: “Certainly now the jury is charged, they must give a verdict either of acquittal or conviction.” Sir T. Trevor, Att. Gen.: “I know what has been usually thought of Whitebread’s case.” And the trial of Cook, 1696. Powell, J.: “Whitebread’s case was indeed held to be an extraordinary case.” And see 7 State Trials 497–500 n, where many instances and opinions adverse to the decision of the court are collected.
