Report concerning Committees of both Houses examining Public Accompts.

ORDERED, That this House will take this Report into Consideration on Wednesday Morning next.

To desire their Lordships Concurrence in a Vote, That the humble and hearty Thanks of this House be returned to His Majesty, for issuing out His Proclamation, and for other Orders and Directions given by His Majesty, in Pursuance of the Votes of both Houses presented to Him for the Prevention of the Insolency of Papists."

ORDERED, That this House concurs with the House of Commons in this Vote; and, to that Purpose, appoints the same Committee of Twelve Lords that presented the former Votes to His Majesty, to be the Committee for this Business.

The Answer returned was:

Answer.

That this House concurs with the House of Commons in this Vote; and their Lordships have appointed the same Committee of Twelve Lords as presented the former Votes to the King, to join with a proportionable Number of the House of Commons, to present this Vote. For the Time, their Lordships will send to know the King's Pleasure, and will give them Notice of the Time.

ORDERED, That the Lord Chamberlain is appointed to attend His Majesty, to know what Time He will please to appoint the aforesaid Committees to wait on Him.
