HODIE 1a vice lecta est Billa, An Act to make One Writing indented, bearing Date the Ninth Day of March, in the First Year of His Majesty's Reign of England, made by Christopher Smyth, Esquire, and Millicent Smithe, his Son and Heir Apparent, purporting a Revocation of the Uses and Estates of the Manor of Water Newton, in the County of Huntingdon, and of divers Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments, in the said Writing of Revocation mentioned, to have the full Force and Power of a perfect Deed of Revocation, according to the Purport of the said Writing, and according to the true Intent and Meaning of the Parties thereunto, whereby the said Millicent Smyth may be enabled to make Sales, for the Payment of his Debts.

Message to the H. C. defer the Conference.

A Message to the Lower House, by Mr. Dr. Hone and Mr. Dr. Amye:

That the Conference, which Yesterday was appointed to be between the Committees of both Houses this Morning, at Nine of the Clock, may be deferred until Ten of the Clock, for that the Lords are presently entered into Consideration of Business of Importance, which will, in the mean Time, detain them.

Answer.

Answer.

That the Commons, by their Committees, will give Meeting to the Committees of this House, at Ten of the Clock, as is desired, in the Painted Chamber, formerly appointed for the Conference aforesaid.

For punishing Sir Stephen Proctor.

The Bill for the Punishment of Sir Stephen Proctor, Knight, for divers Misdemeanors and Offences by him practised and committed, was this Day brought into the House, by the Lord Archbishop of Yorke, first of the Committee, who declared, That Yesterday, at the Time appointed for the said Committee to meet, divers Earls, and others, of His Majesty's Council, who were, among other Lords, named Committees for the said Bill, were absent; howbeit, forasmuch as Fourteen of the same Committees were then present, those so present did enter into Consideration of the Cause, and particularly examined the said Bill punctually, in Presence, as well of the said Sir Stephen Procter, and his Counsel, as of certain his Accusers, and their Counsel; that, upon deliberate Hearing thereof, for any Thing then appearing to the said Committees, the said Sir Stephen Proctor, nor any his Servants or Deputies, could not be charged, in any Sort, to have abused or misdemeaned him or themselves, in the Execution of any Commission wherein he was employed, in any Place within the Kingdom of England; whereupon his Grace delivered the Opinion of the said Lords Committees to be, That the said Bill should rest, and no further to proceed.

Howbeit, the Lords generally yielding due Respect to the Proceedings of the Lords Committees, considering notwithstanding how great Care is to be had for Punishment and Reformation of Crimes tending to the Prejudice of the Commonwealth and Government; and because many-times Things are not, at Hearing of Causes, opened so fully as were fit, and many-times Proofs may be suppressed, and kept from the Knowledge and Understanding of such as are to judge the Cause; and lastly, insomuch as the Lower House have passed a Bill so severely against the said Sir Stephen Procter, to the Judgement of which House their Lordships have great Respect; therefore, it was generally thought good, and Agreed, That a Conference shall be moved, (fn. 2) of certain Committees of that House, with some Lords Committees of this House, touching the said Bill.

Conference concerning the Contact with His Majesty.

The Lords went forth, and in the Painted Chamber conferred with the Committees of the Lower House; and to them proposed, That the King may be secured by Land, for the (fn. 3) 200,000 £. per Annum, and that some Ordinance, or Entry, may be made, before the Recess of the House, which may bind both the King and them to the Contract, which their Lordships conceive to be already concluded; for that Time will not, at this Session, serve to make an Act.

Message to the H. C. for Conference concerning Sir Stephen Proctor's Bill.

Message to the Lower House, by Mr. Dr. Hone, and Mr. Dr. Amye: videlicet,

To desire a Conference with the Committees of that House, concerning the Points this Morning moved to them by the Lords; and also touching the Bill of Sir Stephen Proctor, at the soonest Time that may stand with the Conveniency of that House.

Answer:

Answer.

That, touching the Matter of the Contract this Morning handled between the Lords and the Committees of the Commons House, that House hath not yet received any Report; but, as soon as the same shall so be made known unto them, they will return Answer, and then also give Meeting to the Committees of this House, concerning the Bill of Sir Stephen Proctor.
