White's Petition concerning a Decree in Chancery.
Upon Consideration had of the humble Petition of
William White, Citizen and Haberdasher of London; shewing, "That, by a Decree made by the Master of the
Rolls, he is (contrary to the Intent of the said Decree) put out of a Copyhold Estate, purchased of
Richard Conquest for a valuable Consideration, by the
general Words of the Decree made for all the Lands
in the Bill mentioned, most whereof were Freehold:"
It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal
in Parliament assembled, That it be referred to the Lord
Chancellor, to hear both Parties, and to report back to
this House whether the Petitioner may be relieved by a
Bill of Review.
Swaffham Churches Bill.
Hodie 3a
vice lecta est Billa, "An Act for ascertaining the Bounds of the several Rectories of Swaffham
St. Cyriac, and of Swaffham St. Marie's, within the
Town of Swaffham Prior, in the County of Cambridge, and for the uniting of the Two Churches
there."
The Question being put, "Whether this Bill shall
pass?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Bill to prohibit the Importation of Irish Cattle.
Then the House resumed the further Consideration of
the Report of the Free Conference with the House of
Commons, touching the Word ["Nuisance"] in the Bill
against importing of Irish Cattle; and, after Debate
thereof,
The Question being put, "Whether to agree with
the House of Commons?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Protest against the Word [Nuisance] in it.
"Memorandum, That the Question being ready to be
put for agreeing with the House of Commons in the
Bill, intituled, "An Act against importing Cattle
from Ireland and other Parts beyond the Seas, and
Fish taken by Foreigners;" and thereupon divers
of the Peers humbly moving that their Protestation
might be entered, if the said Question should be
carried in the Affirmative (as it was); we, whose
Names ensue, do accordingly enter our Dissents from
the said Resolution, for many Reasons offered in Debates of the House, and at Conferences with the
Commons, and particularly for these Reasons following:
"First, Because (as we humbly conceive) the Importation of Irish Cattle is no Nuisance; and
therefore we could not consent to call it what
it is not.
"Secondly, Because the Word Nuisance was professedly designed by the House of Commons
to restrain and limit a just, necessary, and ancient Prerogative, inherent in the Crown, for
the Good and Safety of His Majesty's People,
upon Accidents and Emergencies which cannot be foreseen upon the making of new
Laws.
"Thirdly, Because there appears no Precedent of
any Remedy provided against Nuisances, but
by perpetual Laws and removing the Nuisances; whereas this Bill is made but (fn. *) Probationer, so that, after a while, the Nuisance (if
any) will revive.
"Lastly, This most Honourable House, at a Conference, did timely (after several Days Debate) acquaint the Commons, that they resolved not to admit the Word Nuisance; and
before the last Conference entered the same
Days as follows in the Journal of Parliament,
"That they had great Reason to insist;" and
commanded their Managers to declare so
much to the Commons, when they let them
know they did agree; which was done accordingly.
"Cardigan.
J. Bridgewater.
Burlington.
Anglesey.
Lawarr.
Conway.
Audley.
Berkeley of B."
Message to H. C. for a Conference on Two Bills.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Sir Justinian Lewin and Sir Thomas Escourt:
To desire a present Conference, in the Painted Chamber, by a Committee of both Houses, concerning the
Matter of the Bill concerning Irish Cattle, and also concerning the Poll Bill.
Heads for the Conference on the Irish Cattle Bill.
The House appointed the Duke of Bucks, the Lord
Lucas, and the Lord Ashley, to manage the Conference
with the House of Commons; who are to acquaint the
House of Commons, "That this House have great
Reason to insist upon what their Lordships have
asserted concerning the Bill against importing of Irish
Cattle; yet, in regard of the Hazard of the Bill, and
Importance of it, their Lordships have agreed with
the House of Commons therein."
The Messengers returned with this Answer:
Answer from H. C.
That the Commons do agree to give a present Conference, concerning both the Bills desired.
Then the House was adjourned during Pleasure, and
the Lords went to the Conference; which being ended,
the House was resumed.
Message from H. C. that they agree to the Poll Bill, and Coinage Bill;-- to return the Irish Cattle Bill;--and to remind the Lords of the Public Accompts Bill.
A Message was brought from the House of Commons,
by the Lord St. Johns and others:
To acquaint their Lordships, that the Commons are
ready upon all Occasions to hold a good Correspondency
with their Lordships; which they could not express
better, than by concurring with their Lordships in their
Amendments in the Poll Bill.
The Commons also agree with their Lordships in the
Amendments in the Bill concerning Encouragement of
Coinage.
And the Commons returned the Bill against Importing of Irish Cattle.
He said further, "That he was commanded by the
Commons to put their Lordships in Mind of the Bill
concerning the taking the Accompts of Public Monies."
