95800Very Good. Single leaf folded to form four pages with list of 83 names on first two pages. Three later horizontal folds probably for filing. Has some pencil markings beside most names -- either a red "x" or an black line. Ink note at top of one of the narrow folded section on last page:Jury of 80 Men for trial of Jorden on Tuesday 28th Inst. Waterstain -- name still quite readable -- a bit wavy but covers about the right third of both leaves as folded. No information as to date or location. Looks like it probably dates sometime in first two-thirds of 19th century. Someone might be able to narrow it down -- most juror names seem common but Plesant W. Ponder probably is not. Later pencil note in unknown hand on last page: possibly Lawrence County Alabama. unknown

Good. <br/><br/> Jim West was convicted of first degree murder for killing George McNelly; he was sentenced to life. This his appeal brief was filed by his attorneys Sheeks & Sneed and R.L. Brockenbrough. West's claim of self-defense had failed at trial although the jury heard testimony that McNelly told West "I will see you before Saturday night and put more holes in you than there is in a sifter." His lawyers argue "Deceased had armed himself and prepared himself to kill West and flee the country.

The Popish Plot was a fictitious conspiracy to assassinate Charles II. It provoked a spasm of anti-Catholic hysteria in England and Scotland that led to the executions of at least 22 men between 1678 and 1681 and harsh laws against Catholics. As Catholic priests Bromwich Atkins and Kern were guilty by association. All three escaped death. The jury failed to convict Kern Bromwich and Atkins were found guilty and sentenced to death. However Lord Chief Justice Scroggs granted clemency to Atkins due to his age; he died in prison. Bromwich was treated likewise when evidence disputing his guilt was produced after the trial. Like Atkins he was imprisoned. He was released in 1685 when James II put an end to the persecution of Catholics.
