Anthony Leigh died about a week after Mountfort -In King James' time, Obediah Walker, Head of University College Oxford, turned Papist as he was a very learned man and had been an eminent Tutor, his conversion made a considerable stir-Leigh acted the part of Teague in the Committee at the University-when hauling in Obediah with a halter about his neck and threatening to hang him for not drink. ing the King's health (according to his written part) he put himself into a more than usual heat; which occasioned his Master to ask what Obediah had done to deserve such usage?--Leigh folding his arms with a ridiculous stare of astonishment replied" Upon my Shoule he has changed his religion"—this of course every body applied to the real Obediah of Oxford, and the jest was received with a triumph of applause-but Leigh was given to understand, that the King was displeased at it.
