And its gradual im- provement. LXXVL 1. General Omdition of the Englith Catholics, from the Re- volution till the Accession of George the third. During the first part of his reign, the catholics suffered a^ considerable d^ee of persecution.'^ T 2 916 HISTORICAL MEMOIRS OF Attempts were sometimes made to cany into execa- tion the sanguinary laws against their clergy. In 1769, the honourable James Talbot, the brother of the late, and uncle of the present earl of Shrews* bury, was tried for his li...fe, at the Old Bailey, for saying mass; and only escaped conviction firom the want of evidence. Other priests were prose- cuted ; and some imprisoned for life. On an in- quiry made by the writer of these pages, in 1 780, respecting the execution of the penal laws against the catholics, he found, that the single house of Dynely and Ashmall, attomies in Gray's Inn, had defended more than twenty priests, under such pro- secutions ; and that, greatly to their honour, they had generally defended them gratuitously.
