Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Celebrated Trials, and Remarkable Cases of Criminal Jurisprudence, Vol. 3 of 6: From the Earliest Records to the Year 1825 Algernon Sidney was the son of Robert, second Earl of Leicester, and of Dorothy, daughter of the Earl of Northumberland, and born at Penshurst, in Kent, in the year 1634. The chivalrous spirit and characteristic energy of his illustrious family, led him to espouse the cause of the people against the encroachments of the Stuarts, and the tyranny of their favorites; and he served during the Civil Wars as a Parliament colonel in Ireland. When the tribunal was appointed for trying Charles I. he was nominated one of the commissioners, but did not sit. After the Restoration, he was viewed with an eye of jealousy by the Court, and still lived in intimacy with the Republican and discontented party. An opportunity was found in the evidence of the infamous Lord Howard of Escrick, to seize his person and papers; and on the illegal evidence of the latter, and the questionable of the former, he was found guilty by one of those venal or alarmed Juries, who abuse their sacred duty.
