Reasons for adhering to Amendments to the Trials for Treason, Bill:
The Earl of Rochester reported from the Committee,
the Reasons drawn by them, to be offered at a Conference with the House of Commons, for their Lordships
insisting on some of their Amendments to the Bill, intituled, "An Act for regulating of Trials, in Cases of
High Treason and Misprision of Treason."
Which were read, and agreed to, as followeth; (videlicet,)
"2 Skin, 22 Line. The Lords insist on their Amendment:
"Because the Clause, for the Limitation of the Time
of Three Years, wherein the Offenders shall be accused, seems too short to debar the Crown from any
Prosecution in Cases of High Treason, which may
happen frequently not to be discovered within that
Time.
"3 Skin, 8 Line. The Lords insist on the Clause (B):
"Because they conceive this Clause not to be of a
different Nature from the rest of the Bill; which
being designed to provide a more equal Way for the
Subject to make his Defence, would not give their
Lordships an equal Benefit with the Commons without this Clause, since the Peers have not the Advantage of Challenges, which the Commons now enjoy."

Miles Cooke and Sir Lacon William Childe:
