complaining of an Interlocutor of the Lords of Session

thereto; and likewise of another Interlocutor of the

Goodsir, and James Grundiston; and praying, "That
the said Interlocutors might be reversed; and that
this House would give the Appellants such Relief in
the Premises as to their Lordships should seem meet:"
As also upon the Answer of the said Lilias Brebner,
Law Brebner, and Bethia Brebner, put in to the said
Appeal; and due Consideration had of what was offered
on either Side in this Cause:
Interlocutor affirmed, with a Variation.
It is Ordered and Adjudged, by the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Interlocutor of the 13th of February 1756 be affirmed,
with this Variation; videlicet, After the Words ["repell

Petition of Sir W. Meredith, for leave to proceed against E. Ferrers, to enforce Obedience to a Writ of Habeas Corpus:
A Petition of Sir William Meredith Baronet, was presented, and read; setting forth, "That the Right
Honourable Lawrence Earl Ferrers, about Three
Years ago, intermarried with the Petitioner's Sister;
and, since his said Marriage, hath treated her with
great Rigour and Barbarity, having forbidden her
Sisters to see or correspond with her, and denied all
her Friends and Acquaintance Access to her, and frequently threatened to put her to Death; that the said
Lady Ferrers, in order to save her Life, came from
the said Earl's House, with an Intent (as the Petitioner
believes) to apply to a Court of Justice for her
future Security and Relief; but was forced back by
the said Earl to his House, where she still continues;"
and further setting forth, "That the Petitioner, sensible of the extreme Misery to which the said Lady
Ferrers is reduced, and the imminent Danger to
which her Life is hourly exposed, applied to and
obtained from Mr. Justice Foster a Writ of Habeas
Corpus, which the said Earl did not obey; and that, on
Application to the Court of King's Bench, the Petitioner obtained a Second Writ of Habeas Corpus, to
which the said Earl likewise paid no Obedience; and
that, the said Earl having threatened the Life of the
Petitioner, and that he would murder any Person that
should endeavour to procure any Redress for the said
Lady Ferrers, the Petitioner conceives, the only probable Means of preserving her is by having Obedience enforced to the said Writ, by attaching his
Person; which the sacred Regard due to the Privileges of their Lordships has prevented the Petitioner
from proceeding in without the Leave of this House;"
and therefore praying, "That their Lordships would
be pleased to give Leave for the Petitioner immediately to proceed to enforce Obedience to the said
Writ of Habeas Corpus."
And due Consideration being had thereof:
No Privilege against a Writ of Habeas Corpus.
It is Ordered and Declared, That no Peer, or Lord
of Parliament, hath Privilege against being compelled,
by Process of the Courts in Westm'r Hall, to pay
Obedience to a Writ of Habeas Corpus directed to him.
