Often as this remarkable document has been quoted and referred to, I do not know that the original has ever been examined by any of our historians. Sure am I that if the learned author of The Curiosities of Literature, when preparing for publication his interesting Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles the First, had had the original Warrant under his eyes, he would have ventories - Garrick in the Green Room - Last of Gretna anticipated me in pointing out the "grave doubts," to use the mildest phrase, which an examination of it throws upon the truthfulness of what has hitherto been supposed to be an authentic as well as authorized report of the King's trial-namely, the True Copy of the Journal of the High Court of Justice for the Trial of King Charles I.

The very spot where the execution took place is matter of controversy, and the identity of the executioner is as much disputed as that of the Man in the Iron Mask, or the writer of the Letters of Junius. Few historical documents have been made so familiar to the public by means of facsimile as the Warrant for the execution of the unhappy monarch. A strip of parchment, measuring some eighteen inches wide and ten inches deep, on which there are about a dozen lines of writing, and some threescore seals and signatures, destroyed * The year then ending March, all the documents connected with the trial and execution bear the date of 1648. There is no doubt that the Warrant in question is the one under which the King suffered. It came from the possession of Colonel Hacker, one of the three officers to whom it was addressed, when he was arrested in 1660, and by whom it was produced before the House of Lords, where it has ever since remained. Yet this remarkable document, almost the only original document connected with this great event which has been preserved-a Warrant for the execution of one who rightly described himself as "not an ordinary prisoner "-is in many of its most important parts written on erasures, and by a different hand. Before entering into a consideration of these erasures, and what they seem to point to, it will be necessary to sketch briefly the incidents of the so-called Trial of the King. House of Commons a new Ordinance for erecting On January 4 Master Garland presented to the (the Lords having rejected the former one), which a High Court of Justice for the trial of the King time, assented to and passed the same day; and Ordinance was read a first, second, and third it was ordered that no copy be delivered: and the House resolved, That the people are (under God) the original of all just power. That themselves being chosen by and representing the people have the Supreme Power in the nation; that whatsoever is enacted or declared for law by the Commons in Parliament hath the force of a law and the people concluded thereby; though consent of king and peers be not had thereunto. The following is a List of the Commissioners appointed by this Ordinance, not in the order in which their names are recited in it, but alphabetically, for convenience of reference hereafter. The respective shares which the Commissioners took in the subsequent proceedings are indicated as follows:-The dates after the names show on what days of the trial, viz. 20th, 22nd, 23rd, and 27th January, they were present in Court. The names of those who signed the Warrant are printed in italics. The letter S marks those who were |
