DOVER (SIMON), printer in London, 1660-64. Tried at the Old Bailey in February, 1663/4, with John Twyn, Thomas Brewster, and Nathan Brooks. Dover's crime was printing a pamphlet entitled The Speeches of some of the late King's Justices. He was condemned to pay a fine of 100 marks, to stand in the pillory on two successive days, and to remain a prisoner during the King's pleasure. He is believed to have died in April, 1664, shortly after his conviction. [An exact Narrative of the Tryal … of John Twyn … 1664; The Newes, April 28th, 1664.]
