THE Proceedings at the Kings-Bench-Bar Upon the Execution of the Writ of Enquiry of Damages At the svit of His ROYAL HIGHNESS the DUKE of YORK, AGAINST TITUS( formerly stilled Doctor) oats.  
THis day being the last day of Trinity-Term, was a Writ of Enquiry of Damages at the Kings-Bench-Bar, in an Action upon the Statute deScandalis magnatum, at the svit of His Royal Highness the Duke of York against Titus oats; who denying to pled, suffered judgement upon him by nile dicit: And in regard of the Eminency of the Person who is Plaintiff, and of the Notoriousness of the Defendant, it was prayed by His R. Highness's Council, That for the more solemnity of the matter, and to sa●isfie all persons who may be curious to pique at the Proceedings at Law, that it should be try d at the Kings-Bench-Bar, though it be a thing very unusual, being ordinarily done before the Sheriff in his County. There appeared a very substantial Jury of Knights, Esquires, and Gentlemen, to the number of Fifteen, who without going from the Bar,( as well upon the words within the Record, as upon the Evidence of a great number of worthy and credible Witnesses, which strengthened it) gave Damages to His Royal Highness of 100000 l.  
The Lord-Chief-Justice most faithfully and learnedly summed up the Evidence, and descanted upon the evil consequences that attended such Insolence as presumed to reproach and calumniate the Peers of the Realm, more especially a person so near and dear to the King and Crown as His Royal Highness, whom the said oats hath be spatterd and traduced in all Companies he came into, since the beginning of his Evidenceship in 78. calling him traitor, Rascal, and such-like horrid names, and charging Him with being in the Plot, with firing the City, and raising the Army at Black-Heath, in order to introduce Popery, and cut all the True Protestants Throats. He likewise was pleas d to give him the Epithet of a Son of a w—; And after preaching in the City, being invited by some of his Auditory to a Glass of Wine, he asked them, If any of them ever eat or drank with York?( because His Royal Highness had done that Royal Favour to some of the Societies of the City to Honour them with His presence) but oats  told them, If any of them did, he would not eat or drink with any that eat or drank with the Devil. He left them, and went to a Braziers House,( his Face having a Sympathy with the Calling.) Another Gospel-expression of his at Oxford was, That he hoped if the Devil had had one place hotter than other in Hell, he would reserve it for the Duke of Y—. Much more of the No Doctor's stuff of this kind was sworn against him, and without difficulty believed by the Jury; which is a means to secure his present Lodgings, until he is removed by some extraordinary means, which probably may soon happen.
