One of his emissaries had found means to conceal this paper in a certain part of the bishop's house at Bromley in Kent, where it was found by the king's messengers, who secured the prelate in consequence of Young's information.

But he vindicated himself to the satisfaction of the whole council; and the forgery of the informer was detected by the confession of his accomplice.

The bishop obtained his release immediately and the earl of Marlborough was admitted to bail in the court of king's bench.
SOURCES OF NATIONAL DISCONTENT.
So many persons of character and distinction had been imprisoned during this reign upon the slightest suspicion, that the discontented part of the nation had some reason to insinuate they had only exchanged one tyrant for another.

They affirmed that the _habeas-corpus_ act was either insufficient to protect the subject from false imprisonment, or had been shamefully misused.

They expatiated upon the loss of ships, which had lately fallen a prey to the enemy; the consumption of seamen; the neglect of the fisheries; the interruption of commerce, in which the nation was supplanted by her allies, as well as invaded by her enemies; the low ebb of the kingdom's treasure, exhausted in hiring foreign bottoms, and paying foreign troops to fight foreign quarrels; and the slaughter of the best and bravest of their countrymen, whose blood had been lavishly spilt in support of connexions with which they ought to have had no concern.
