Report of the Heads.
And the Earl of Rochester reported what was to be
offered to the Commons, at the Conference, as followeth; (videlicet,)
"The Lords are to acquaint the Commons, that,
having on the Sixteenth Day of January last communicated to them, at a Conference, that the Lords
having had laid before them, by the Earl of Nottingham, an Extract of a Letter, dated from Paris, June 1st,
N. S. received May 30th O. S. 1693, as followeth;
"There are 68 Ships, in which there are 30,118
Men and 4,876 Guns. We have News since,
that this Fleet is sailed, and was out of Sight:
"And whereas, upon an Address to the King, such
Lords as are of the Privy Council had Permission
from His Majesty, to acquaint this House when the
Intelligence of the French Fleet's sailing from Brest
was communicated to the Admirals of the Fleet:
Several of those Lords did thereupon inform the
House, that the Letter mentioned by the Earl of
Nottingham was laid before the Committee of Council;
and took it for granted, that the Intelligence therein
contained was sent to the Admirals of the Fleet:
But, it not appearing clearly whether it was so communicated or not, this House does desire of the House
of Commons, that they will enquire, by the most
proper Methods, of the Members of their House
that are of the Privy Council, whether this Intelligence of the French Fleet's being sailed out of Brest
was communicated to the Admirals of the Fleet, and
when it was so communicated.
"Upon which, their Lordships hoped that some
further Information might be had, by those that are
of the Privy Council in that House, in order to the
Discovery of the Causes of some of the Miscarriages
in the last Summer's Expedition at Sea. But their
Lordships, not having yet heard any Thing from the
House of Commons concerning this Matter, have
thought fit, at this Conference, to remind them of it,
as a Business the Lords conceive to be of great Consequence, and fit to be enquired into."
To which the House agreed.
E. of Montagu & al. versus E. of Bath & al.
This Day the House proceeded, and heard Counsel
further upon the Appeal of the Earl of Montagu and
others, against the Earl of Bathe and others Respondents.
And, the Counsel being withdrawn; at the Request of
both the Earls concerned therein, "That the further
Hearing of Counsel in this Cause may be put off
until Friday next;" it is ORDERED, by the Lords
Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That
this House will hear Counsel further in the said Cause,
on Friday next, at Eleven of the Clock in the Forenoon.
Adjourn.
