Complaint relative to Stoppages in the Streets:
Complaint was made to the House by the Yeoman
Usher of the Black Rod, "That William Williams,
Drayman, did this Day contrary to, and in contempt
of their Lordships Order for preventing Stoppages
and Obstructions in the Streets and Passages leading
to this House, insult and obstruct William Distain, the
Constable, then attending his Duty, pursuant to the
said Order, in Breach of the Privilege of this House."
And thereupon, the said William Williams was ordered
to be brought to the Bar.
And being brought accordingly;
William Distain, the Constable, was called in and
examined upon Oath at the Bar, in relation to the
Matter of the said Complaint; and the said William
Williams was asked what he had to say in his Defence;
and being withdrawn:
Williams committed to Tothill Fields Bridewell
Ordered, That the said William Williams be for his
said Offence committed to Tothill Fields Bridewell, and
there kept in safe Custody until the further Order of
this House; and this shall be a sufficient Warrant in that
Behalf.
To the Governor and Keeper of
Tothill Fields Bridewell, his
Deputy and Deputies, and
every of them.
Committee on State of the Nation.
The Order of the Day being read for the House to
resolve itself again into a Committee, to take into further
Consideration the State of the Nation, and the Resolu
tions of the Commons referred thereto on Tuesday last;
and for the Lords to be summoned:
The House was adjourned during Pleasure, and put
again into a Committee thereupon.
After some Time, the House was resumed:
And the Lord Walsingham reported from the Committee, "That they had gone through the said several
Resolutions, and directed him to report the same to
the House, without any Amendment."
Ordered, That the said Report be taken into Consideration immediately.
Report of Resolutions for appointing the Prince of Wales Regent, &c.
The said Report was read by the Clerk as follows;
(videlicet)
"Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, that
for the Purpose of providing for the Exercise of the
Royal Authority, during the Continuance of His
Majesty's Illness, in such Manner and to such Extent
as the present Circumstances and the urgent Concerns
of the Nation appear to require, it is expedient that His
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, being resident
within the Realm, shall be empowered to exercise and
administer the Royal Authority, according to the
Laws and Constitution of Great Britain, in the Name
and on the Behalf of His Majesty, and under the Stile
and Title of Regent of the Kingdom, and to use, execute, and perform, in the Name and on the Behalf of
His Majesty, all Authorities, Prerogatives, Acts of Government, and Administration of the same, which
belong to the King of this Realm, to use, execute, and
perform, according to the Laws thereof, subject to
such Limitations and Exceptions as shall be provided."
"Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, that
the Power so to be given to His Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales, shall not extend to the granting of
any Rank or Dignity of the Peerage of the Realm to
any Person whatever, except to His Majesty's Royal
Issue, who shall have attained the full Age of Twentyone Years."
"Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, that
the said Powers should not extend to the granting of
any Office whatever, in Reversion, or to the granting
of any Office, Salary or Pension, for any other Term
than during His Majesty's Pleasure, except such Offices as are by Law required to be granted for Life or
during good Behaviour."
"Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, that
the said Powers should not extend to the granting of
any Part of His Majesty's Real or Personal Estate,
except so far as relates to the Renewal of Leases."
"Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, that
the Care of His Majesty's Royal Person during the
Continuance of His Majesty's Illness, should be committed to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, and
that Her Majesty should have Power to remove from,
and to nominate and appoint such Persons as the shall
think proper, to the several Offices in His Majesty's
Household, and to dispose, order, and manage all other
Matters and Things relating to the Care of His Majesty's Royal Person during the Time aforesaid; and
that for the better enabling Her Majesty to discharge
this important Trust, it is also expedient that a Council
should be appointed to advise and assist Her Majesty in
the several Matters aforesaid, and with Power from
Time to Time, as they may see Cause, to examine
upon Oath the Physicians and others attending His
Majesty's Person, touching the State of His Majesty's
Health, and all Matters relative thereto."
The First Resolution was again read by the Clerk.
Moved, "To agree with the Committee in the said
Resolution."
The Question was put thereupon?
It was resolved in the Affirmative.
Then the said Resolution was agreed to.
The Second Resolution was again read by the Clerk.
Moved, "To agree with the Committee in the said
Resolution."
The Question was put thereupon?

Then the said Resolution was agreed to.

Moved, "To agree with the Committee in the said
Resolution."
The Question was put thereupon?

Then the said Resolution was agreed to.

Moved, "To agree with the Committee in the said
Resolution."
The Question was put thereupon?
It was resolved in the Affirmative.
Then the said Resolution was agreed to.
The Fifth Resolution was again read by the Clerk.
Moved, "To agree with the Committee in the said
Resolution."
The Question was put thereupon?
It was resolved in the Affirmative.
Then the said Resolution was agreed to.
"DISSENTIENT.
Protest against agreeing to Report.
1st, "Because we firmly adhere to the Principles and
Arguments on which we disapproved the Resolutions
formerly passed by this House, especially when the Legislative Power of the Two Houses of Parliament, unconstitutionally assumed by those Resolutions, is meant
to be employed to restrict or suspend many important
and essential Branches of the Royal Power at the
Moment of the declared Incapacity of the King."
2dly, "Because we think the Power of conferring the
Rank and Privileges of the Peerage as a Reward to
Merit, is necessary to the Royal Authority, in order
to afford an Incitement to vigorous Exertions in the
Service of the State, and is more peculiarly necessary
(like all other Parts of the Prerogative) when the
Regal Power is to be exercised by a Substitute, with
an Authority uncertain and precarious in its Duration;
but especially on the present Occasion, as it is the only
Branch of the Prerogative sufficiently powerful to afford
a Remedy against such a Combination in this House,
as other Parts of this System of Restriction and Mutilation have a natural and obvious Tendency to produce.
"And because we conceive that this Restriction may
create an Interest in the Members of this House, to
withhold their Assent to restore the antient Power of
the Crown in this respect."
3dly, "Because we conceive that by the subsisting
Law of the Land, His Majesty's Property is sufficiently secured from any undue Disposition and Alienation, and the Resolution on that Subject can have
no other Effect but to convey to the Public injurious
Suspicions and unjust Imputation on the Character
and Intentions of His Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales."
4thly, "Because we are of Opinion that, in order to
maintain the proper Dignity of the Crown, and preserve the due Influence and Respect which arises from
the great Offices of State, it is necessary that the Person exercising the Royal Authority in the Name and on
the Behalf of His Majesty, should be attended by those
distinguished Servants, whose Functions have been
established for the Purpose of adding Weight and
Splendor to the Regal Office; we cannot agree to a
Division of the Royal Power, to the Creation of a
fourth Estate unknown to the Constitution of the
Country.

the Concurrence of their Lordships was signified to the
Commons, at a Conference on Monday last, have
thereupon come to Two other Resolutions, to which
they desire the Concurrence of their Lordships."

his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales with the said
Resolutions which have been agreed to by the Lords
and Commons, for the Purpose of supplying the Defect of the Personal Exercise of the Royal Authority

have been passed for carrying the said Resolutions
into Effect."

that His Majesty's Illness is only temporary, and may
be of no long Duration")
Which being objected to;

The Earl Bathurst sat Speaker by virtue of a former

Prince of Wales's Answer to Resolutions and Address.
The Lord President acquainted the House, "That
he and the Lord Privy Seal had (pursuant to the Order
on Thursday last) attended his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales with the several Resolutions agreed to
by both Houses of Parliament, for the Purpose of supplying the Defect of the Personal Exercise of the
Royal Authority during His Majesty's Illness; and
that His Royal Highness was pleased to return the
following Answer:
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"I thank you for communicating to me the Resolutions agreed to by the Two Houses, and I request you
to assure them in my Name, that my Duty to the
King my Father, and my anxious Concern for the
Safety and Interests of the People, which must be
endangered by a longer Suspension of the Exercise of
the Royal Authority; together with my Respect for
the united Desires of the Two Houses, outweigh in my
Mind every other Consideration, and will determine
me to undertake the weighty and important Trust
proposed to me, in Conformity to the Resolutions
now communicated to me. I am sensible of the Difficulties that must attend the Execution of this Trust,
in the peculiar Circumstances in which it is committed
to my Charge, of which as I am acquainted with no
former Example, my Hopes of a successful Ad
ministration cannot be founded on any past Experience. But confiding that the Limitations on the
Exercise of the Royal Authority deemed necessary for
the present, have been approved by the Two Houses
only as a temporary Measure, founded on the Loyal
Hope in which I ardently participate, that His Majesty's Disorder may not be of long Duration, and
trusting in the mean While that I shall receive a
zealous and united Support in the Two Houses, and
in the Nation, proportioned to the Difficulty attending the Discharge of my Trust. In this Interval, I
will entertain the pleasing Hope, that my faithful Endeavours to preserve the Interests of the King, His
Crown, and People, may be successful."
Ordered, That the said Resolutions, together with
the Answer of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
thereto, be forthwith printed and published.
The Queen's Answer to Resolutions and Address.
The Earl Waldegrave acquainted the House, "That
he and the Earl of Ailesbury had (pursuant to the
Order on Thursday last) attended Her Majesty with
the Resolution and Address agreed to by both Houses
of Parliament, respecting the Care of His Majesty's
Royal Person, and the Direction of His Majesty's
Household; and that Her Majesty was pleased to return the following Answer:
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"My Duty and Gratitude to the King and the Sense
I must ever entertain of My great Obligations to this
Country, will certainly engage My most earnest
Attention to the anxious and momentous Trust
intended to be reposed in Me by Parliament; it will
be a great Consolation to Me to receive the Aid of a
Council of which I shall stand so much in Need, in
the Discharge of a Duty, wherein the Happiness of My
future Life is indeed deeply interested, but which a
higher Object, the Happiness of a great, loyal, and
affectionate People, renders still more important."
Ordered, That the said Resolution and Address, together with Her Majesty's Answer thereto, be forthwith
printed and published.
Thanks to Bp. Lincoln for his Sermon.
Ordered, That the Thanks of this House be and
are hereby given to the Lord Bishop of Lincoln for the
