Dr. Meddus adds, that Sir John Bennet was committed to the sheriffs of London. To the Rev. Joseph Mead. London, May 11, 1621. It is said the prince hath gotten the lord chancellor's fine, and given it him. Sir Francis Mitchell is deprived of honour, authority, and liberty. Floyd is not yet brought to ride, and stand thrice in the pillory.

Whereupon, enraged, he flew upon him, and getting him down, he hit off a good piece of his nose, and carried it away in his pocket.
