The House hereupon ORDERED, That the Examination of this Business is referred to the Committee for Privileges; who are to state the Business, and report the same to this House: And it is further ORDERED, That William Egerton, the Scavenger, upon whose Complaint the said Warrant was procured, shall be forthwith attached as a Delinquent, and brought before this House, to answer the said Offence.
