The man was acquitted. The King wrote to the Chief Justice to proceed to a second trial & use all strictness in the process. He did so, but he charged the Jury in favour of the prisoner, who was again acquitted, for which the King deposed the Judge & sent him to the fleet, deputed another in his place, & Burdet was tried again, convicted, & executed. This tale did a Judge (Fleetwood Recorder of London) tell me! The King would have restored him, but he preferred to retire from public life, & settled himself at Sedgebrook, where he built a lodging for himself & two priests (giving up all the rest to his son) in the church, where he spent 20 years in spiritual comtemplation for the good of his soul, & at his death was bur. in the church. He built a window in Cotham Church with his effigies. Made a fish-pond at Sedgebrook just the length & breadth of Westminster Hall, which to this day they call Westminster.
