The Earl of Dover reported, "That the Committee have considered the Bill for Confirmation of certain Lands exchanged, between the Lord Townsend, and the Rector of East and West Rainham, in the County of Norff.; and it doth appear to their Lordships, that the Lord Bishop of Norwich hath given his Consent thereunto, and that it is for the Advantage of the said Rector: Therefore their Lordships think it fit that the said Bill do pass, without any Alteration or Amendment."
Hodie 3a vice lecta est Billa, "An Act for Confirmation of an Exchange of certain Lands, between Horatio Lord Townsend, and the Rector of East and West Rainham, in the County of Norffolke."
The Question being put, "Whether this Bill shall pass?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.

Upon Complaint made to this House, by the Earl of Denbigh, "That one Thomas Insley, Gentleman, hath exhibited a scandalous Petition against him to the King; shewing, That he hath been persecuted and overpowered by his Lordship; and that his Lordship hath been a Means of turning out One of His Majesty's honest loyal Justices, and threatens to turn out others:"
It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Thomas Insley shall be summoned to appear at the Bar of this House To-morrow Morning, at Ten of the Clock, to answer the same.

Report concerning Peers, Minors, having their Writs of Summons.
The Lord Chief Justice reported to this House, That the Judges, according to their Lordships Order the 31th of October last, have considered of the Two Questions referred to them; and that he was appointed, by all his Brethren the Judges, to deliver this Answer as the unanimous Opinion of them all to the First Question, videlicet, That, by the Law of England, in the ordinary Courts of Justice, no Minor can sit, or give any Judgement, as a Judge.
"As concerning the Second Question, the Judges conceive that Question is something perplexed with the Term ["or otherwise;"] therefore, they being not yet all of one Mind, and so not able to give an Opinion Affirmative or Negative, they desire further Time, to meet and consider thereof."
After some Debate hereof, it is ORDERED, That the further Debate of this Business shall be resumed Tomorrow Morning.
Prizing of Wines, Bill.
