L. Pres. Go on then.
M. Love. Sir, the first motion I shall make, is for counsel to advise in matters of Law relating to this Trial; and as I do gather from hearing the Indictment, there are several matters of law that do arise, in which I desire to have counsel assigned me; and the first is, whether the Act by which this Court is ⟨p. 5⟩constituted, of the 26 March, 1650. that forbids receiving or sending Letters or Messages to or from England or Ireland, do enable you to receive a charge against me concerning Letters to or from Scotland, Scotland not being mentioned in that Act by which you are constituted; therefore seeing this is matter of law, I desire I might have counsel to advise with about it.
