*** To show to what degree the nation was inflamed with regard to the Palatinate, there occurs a remarkable story this session.

One Floyd, a prisoner in the Fleet, a Catholic, had dropped some expressions in private conversation, as if he were pleased with the misfortunes of the palatine and his wife.

The commons were in a flame; and, pretending to be a court of judicature and of record, proceeded to condemn him to a severe punishment.
