Harcourt and others:
Who brought up a Bill, intituled, "An Act for continuing the Acts for prohibiting all Trade and Commerce with France, and for the Encouragement of
Privateers;" to which they desire the Concurrence
of this House.
Trade with France to prohibit, and Encouragement of Privateers, Bill to contitinue the Acts for.
Hodie 1a
vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act
for continuing the Acts for prohibiting all Trade and
Commerce with France, and for the Encouragement
of Privateers."
Upon the First Reading of the Bill, intituled, "An
Act for continuing the Acts for prohibiting all Trade
and Commerce with France, and for the Encouragement of Privateers:"
It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Bill shall
be read the Second Time on Fryday the One and Thirtieth Day of this Instant January, at Ten of the Clock
in the Forenoon; and that all Persons who shall think
themselves any way concerned therein shall be then
heard by themselves, or Counsel, if they think fit: In
order whereunto, it is further ORDERED, That this
Order shall be affixed on the Door of this House, The

Double Returns, &c. to prevent, Bill:
The House was adjourned during Pleasure, and put

serve in Parliament."
After some Time spent therein, the House was resumed.
And the Earl of Bridgewater reported, "That the

Hodie 3a
vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act to
prevent false and double Returns of Members to serve
in Parliament."
The Question was put, "Whether this Bill shall
pass?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
"Leave having been asked, and given, to any Lords
to protest, if the Question should be carried in the Affirmative: We, whose Names are underwritten, do
protest, for the Reasons following; (videlicet,)
Protest against a Clause in it:
"Dissentientibus,
"By reason of a Clause in this Bill, which enacts in
these Words following:
"In case that any Person or Persons shall return
any Member to serve in Parliament, for any
County, City, Borough, Cinque Port, or
Place, contrary to the last Determination in
the House of Commons of the Right of Election in such County, City, Borough, Cinque
Port, or Place; that such Return, so made,
shall and is hereby adjudged to be a false Return.
"To which we cannot agree; because we conceive
that the confirming by Act of Parliament the Proceedings in another Place, which have never been
examined here, is derogatory to the Dignity, and inconsistent with the Justice, of the House of Peers.
"And because the enacting that the last Determination of the House of Commons, in the Case of Returns of Members to sit in that House, shall be made
the Rule for the future, seems to us to erect a Court
of Judicature there, which, by the Constitution of
this Government and the constant Practice of all
Ages to this Day, hath never yet been allowed in
the House of Commons, and may contribute to the
introducing of evil Precedents, and be of dangerous
Consequence hereafter.
"Tho. Menev.

Bathe.
R. Ferrers.
Granville.
