Upon Complaint made to this House, by Nathan

the Bar of this House, for his late Offence in Breach
of Privilege against the Marquis of Worcester, and
having already paid Forty Pounds for Fees to Sir
George (fn. *)
Charnock Knight, Serjeant at Arms attending
this House, the said Serjeant did still demand much
more Money of him for Fees, before he could be discharged:"
The said Sir George was thereupon called in to this
House, to answer to the said Complaint; where he informing their Lordships, "That Mr. Rogers had indeed
some Time since paid him Forty Pounds; but that
only One Half thereof was paid him by the said
Mr. Rogers for his own Fees, and the other Half was
paid him for the Fees of one Edward Kemeys, who
was One of the principal Offenders in the said Breach
of Privilege, being named with the said Rogers and
others in the Order of this House for their Attachment, dated the 10th of June last, and who is still
standing out, not only in Contempt thereof, but also
contrary to a Bond given when the said Money was
paid by the said Nathan Rogers with Security (upon
his own Offer) to the said Serjeant, as well for the
Appearance of the said Edward Kemeys, as of him
the said Nathan Rogers;" and further acquainting
their Lordships, "That there was a considerable Sum
incurred, since that Money was paid, for the Fees of
both the said Persons; wherein nevertheless he was
willing with all Readiness to submit to their Lordships
Opinion, as to the Moderation thereof, in an Abatement of One Third Part:"
Rogers to pay the Serjeant his Fees.
Kemeys to be attached.

to his Proceeding against the said Edward Kemeys; it

Matter, ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal
in Parliament assembled, That he the said Nathan Rogers
shall, in regard of his Submission made as aforesaid, and
upon Payment of his Fees to the Officers of this House,
and in particular of Twenty-four Pounds more to be paid
to the said Serjeant (being, as is computed, what remains
still justly due to him, after such Abatement and Application of that said Twenty Pounds to the Fees of the
said Edward Kemeys as aforesaid), be discharged, both out
of the Custody of the said Serjeant, and all other Restraint for his said Offence by virtue of the said Order
of Attachment, and also from his said Bond as it relates
to his own Appearance, but not as it relates to his being

against whom it is hereby further ORDERED by their
Lordships, That the said Serjeant at Arms shall still pursue the said former Order of Attachment, and bring him
in safe Custody to the Bar of this House, to answer for
