The other Reports are attributed to Popham by a Title at the beginning in the hand writing of L. C. J. Hyde. In 3. Keble 476. there is a Citation of these Reports of Hyde by Lord Hale. " This Manuscript was formerly a part of the Collection of the first Duke of Chandos: and it was once the book of Sir Robert Hyde C. J. of B. R. in the reign of King Charles the Second, and nephew of Sir Nicholas Hyde. " In folio 97 of this Manuscript Lord C. J. Hyde gives a very particular and curious Account of the Manner in which K. Charles the First, previously to passing the Petition of Rights, consulted the Judges secretly on the claimed Right of the King to commit without shewing the Cause, and on the effect which the Petition might have on his prerogative in that respect. The Questions to the Judges, and their Answers are given at length; and this Account of a Transaction which does not appear to be noticed in print, concludes with some other Circumstances which attended the passing of the Petition of Rights."
