An Account of the PROCEEDING to Judgement, against Thomas Saxton, who Received Sentence at the King's Bench-Bar, on Friday the 12th. of February, 1685. Upon a Conviction of wilful Perjury, in Forswearing himself against Henry Lord Delameer, Barron of Mere, in the County of Cheshire, etc.  
HERE STAND I FOR PERJURY.  
A Mongst all the Projects and Contriving of wicked Mer; none are so dangerous as those of ensnaring their Fellow Creatures by false Oaths; nothing so horrid & Detestable, as to make the Justice of the Nation the Executor of their Reverge, or Advantage, as in Case of Perjury, it has of late been too sadly manifested, and had not an expedient been found to put a stop to the Carrier of those Consciences, or at least to their effects; who bogled not at the blackest Falsehoods. What Streams of Innocent Blood, had been by this time shed? What Iniquity of that kind had been lest unpractised? But God, whose peculiar Care it is, to protect the Innocent, Winks not at such Villainy nor leaves it unpunished, in this World has been Evident; but to pass over former Perjuries and Perjurors, whom Justice has made examplar: I shall proceed to give the Reader an Account of one lately Committed, and of the due Punishment the Law has directed to be inflicted upon the false Swearer; which take as followeth.  
Thomas Saxton (a Person taken in the late Western Rebellion) amongst other Persons) having accused Henry Lord Delameer, Barron of Mere in the County of Cheshire, of High-Treason, in Conspiring the Death of the King, by Levying War and Raising Rebellion, etc. The said Lord was thereupon Apprehended, and Committed to the Tower of London; and taking his Trial, upon an Indictment found upon the Oath of Saxton, he was by his Peers acquitted in the open Hall of Westminster, upon the 14th. of January last; and upon that Trial, it appearing that Saxton was Perjured; an Information was exhibited against him by his Majesty's special Command for wilful Perjury, and he upon his Arraignment pleading not Guilty, was on the 8th. of February, a second time brought to the King's-Bench-Bar; and there putting himself upon the Jury for his Trial, the Juror upon full proof of his manifest Perjury, found him Guilty, without going from the Bar, whereupon he was Remanded to Newgate, and from thence on the 12th. of February, brought by a Rule of Count, in order to receive his Sentence, where having nothing material to offer in his own Defence, after he had been heard to what ever he pretended on that occasion, the Court proceeded to pass Se●rence, as thus,  
That he the said Thomas Saxton for his wilful Perjury, of which he had been sairly and fully Convicted, should stand on and in the Pillory, on Saturday the 13th. of February before Westminster Hall. On the 15th. of February, to stand on and in the Pillory at Temple Bar. On the 16th. of February, to be Whipped at the Cart's Tail, from Ludgate to Westminster. On the 17th. to stand on and in the Pillory, before the Royal Exchange. On the 19th. to be Whipped from Newgate to Tyburn and Fined Five Hundred Marks.  
And thus, we see Justice meet with those, that seek by unlawful ways the Ruin of others, whether through Malice, or by an incitement to self preservation;  
FINIS.
