We The Grand Jurors for the City of London
having examined Nicholas Bullen< no role > a
Prosecutor agt. Charles Bassage< no role > for Felony,
who in the course of his evidence saith
Since the committment of the sd: Bassage
he hath seen him at large, & has harnt
that he has been admitted to bail by
a Justice Blackborrow without he the

nor was his consent obtained for that

We the Jurors humbly conceive that the
