ON THE JUSTICE OF LAW.The Commemorative Plaque,
Old Bailey Law Courts, London.
Penn was later Founder of Pennsylvania.
Like the Trial by Jury, this plaque will be removed if the modern politicians, dissolute servitors of the bank-owners behind-the-scenes, implacable criminal enemies of the people, democracy, truth, rights, liberty and justice, have their way.
For ease of reading, here is a transcription of the Plaque:
"Near this site William Penn and William Mead were tried in 1670 for preaching to an unlawful assembly in Grace Church Street. This tablet commemorates the courage and endurance of the Jury, Thos (Thomas) Vere, Edward Bushell and ten others who refused to give a verdict against them although locked up without food for two nights and were fined for their final Verdict of Not Guilty."
"The case of these Jurymen was reviewed on a writ of Habeas Corpus and Chief Justice Vaughan delivered the opinion of the Court which established The Right of Juries to give their Verdict according to their Convictions."
