Then the House was adjourned during Pleasure, and put into a Committee upon the said Bill.

After some Time spent therein, the House was resumed.

And the Earl of Stamford reported, "That the Committee had gone through the said Bill; and think it fit to pass, without any Amendment."

Swavne versus Middleton:

After hearing Counsel this Day, at the Bar, to argue the Errors assigned upon a Writ of Error, brought into this House the Tenth of March last, wherein Bennet Swayne is Plaintiff, and Benjamine Middleton Defendant, from a Judgement given in the Court of King's Bench for the said Benjamine Middleton, against the said Bennet Swayne:

Judgement affumed.

After due Consideration of what was offered thereupon, it is this Day ORDERED and Adjudged, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Judgement given in the King's Bench for the said Benjamine Middleton, against the said Bennet Swayne, shall be, and is hereby, affirmed.

The Tenor of which Judgement, to be affixed to the Record to be remitted, followeth; (videlicet,)

"Et postea, scilicet, Secundo Die Martii, Anno Regni dict. Domini Regis nunc Octavo, vis. et per Cur. Parliament. nunc hic plenius intellect. omnibus et singulis Præmiss. diligenterque examinat. et inspect. tam Record. et Process. præd. ac Judic. superinde reddit. quam præd. Caus. et Mater. per præd. Bennet Swayne pro Error. assign. videt. Cur. Parliament. nunc hic, quod nec in Record et Process. præd. nec in Redditione Judicii præd. in ullo est Errat. ac quod Record. illud in nullo vitiosum aut defectivum existit: Ideo, per eandem Cur. Parliament. considerat. est, quod Judicium præd. in omnibus affirmetur, ac in omni suo Robore stet et Effectu; dict. Caus. et Mater. superius pro Error. assign. in aliquo non obstant."

Adjourn.
