Note 1
On 7 March 1695, he was found guilty of accepting a bribe of 1000 guineas (£1050, but equivalent to around £1.6 million in 2009[4]) from the City of London to aid the passage of a bill through the house.[2] This was judged to be a "high crime and misdemeanour" and he was expelled from the House of Commons,[5] a move which he initially resisted on the ground of ill-health. He was not asked to refund the bribe[2] and retained his judicial position until his death at the age of 79 or 80 on 20 May 1717.
