A promising document is the will of Daniel Mackadam, gentleman, of Saint Martin in the Fields, Middlesex, proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 17th November 1693.

Under present arrangments, the will can be downloaded, free of charge, at the National Archives website.

thank you. I already downloaded it last week. I have also ordered a copy of litigation document after his death. His daughter was also my ancestor.

Seeing his name in that long list of names could mean he was a juror.

This is a useful website for London crimes (1674-1913): https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/

I believe that this list of names belongs to the Middlesex Sessions Calendars of Recognizances and Indictments.

See the background to the Sessions Papers: Justices' Working Documents here:

Early pages from the Calendars don't appear to carry a legible label.

However, this example from 1733 exhibits its label (and its similarity to the earlier pages).  See:

To find more information on the Mackadam case or cases would require a visit to the London Metropolitan Archive.
