Transcript of a hearing in the case of James Corker by the Court of King's Bench, [1679 Feb?].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702183178

Manuscript copy, on paper, in a single hand, of the transcript of a habeas corpus hearing in which James Corker was interrogated at the Court of King's Bench, principally by the Lord Chief Justice Samuel Scroggs. During questioning, Corker admitted to being a Roman Catholic but declined to answer whether he was a priest. Corker also refused to take the Oath of Allegiance on the grounds that it would require him to swear that the doctrine that excommunicated monarchs may be deposed is heresy, "and many things may be wicked which are not hereticall." The justices' comments include mockingly calling Corker a "half-faced Papist" and commenting that "if you were in Spain you would be putt into the Inquisition." The transcript ends with Corker's being conveyed back to Newgate.
