"Because if you are he, I must request you to accompany me to Sir Giles Mompesson." "Lanyere is my name," replied the other; "and if I decline to attend you, as you request, it is from no disrespect to you, but from distaste to the society into which you propose to bring me. Your warrant does not extend to me?" "It does not, Sir," replied the serjeant-at-arms. "Nevertheless "
Thy left arm is disabled," rejoined Mompesson "besides, my sword passed through thee almost to the hilt." "It glanced from my doublet: I scarcely felt the scratch." "'Twas a scratch deep enough to let thy life-blood out. But since thou hast more to be spilt, have at thee again!" "Where art thou?" cried Osmond, staggering towards him.
Luckily for him, Mompesson was not the power in Salisbury that he was in Tedworth, and the drummer's eloquent defense moved the jury to acquit him and to send him on his way rejoicing.
Their ingenuity has been taxed to devise new means of unjust gain; and, imposing upon the King's Majesty by false representations, they have succeeded in obtaining his letters patent for certain monopolies, which they have so shamefully abused, as to bring his sovereign authority into discredit."

Two years before this great statute, the process of impeachment, not employed for nearly two hundred years, had been revived against Sir Giles Mompesson and Sir Francis Mitchell, who in the Parliament of 1621 were impeached "for fraud and oppression committed as patentees for the exclusive manufacture of gold and silver thread, for the inspection of inns and hostelries, and for the licensing of ale-houses.
Partners they had none; none, at least, who cared to acknowledge themselves as such. No wonder poor Madame Bonaventure, finding she had got into the clutches of these harpies, began to tremble for the result. Sir Giles Mompesson and his partner.
Mompesson being brought to bed, the devil, or the drummer, very kindly and considerately refrained from making the usual riot; but, as soon as she recovered strength, began again "in a ruder manner than before, following and vexing the young children, and beating their bedsteads with so much violence that every one expected they would fall in pieces."

Here and now developed a phenomenon that places little Miss Mompesson on a par with the celebrated Fox sisters, for her father's bed chamber was turned into a séance room in which messages were rapped out very much as messages have been rapped out ever since the fateful night in 1848 that saw modern spiritism ushered into the world.
