It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That His Majesty's
Writ of Habeas Corpus, returnable immediate, shall be
awarded, commanding the said Sir John Lenthall to
bring the Bodies of the said Edward Merry, Oliver
Clovery, Sandalin, and William Kendar, before the Lords in Parliament, and the Lords Committees for Petitions, on Tuesday the 14th of this

Byron versus Balstons and Weldon.
Upon Report made by the Earl of Dorset, from the
Lords Committees appointed by the House to receive
and consider of Petitions, "That their Lordships have
heard Counsel on both Parts, upon the Petition of
William Byron Esquire Plaintiff, and Dorothy Balston,
Mary Balston, and George Weldon Gentleman, Defendants; and, after Consideration had thereof, in respect of the many Difficulties which their Lordships
found therein, which they conceive themselves not
altogether proper to judge of, and for that they
conceived it not relievable elsewhere, it is their Lordships Opinion that the said Petition was sit to be retained, and to have a Hearing at the Bar, upon the
Merits thereof;" as also upon reading the said Petition of William Byron Esquire, and the Petition of the
Defendants Balstons and George Weldon Gentleman, in
Answer thereunto, this Day in the House:
After due Consideration had thereof, it is Resolved,
upon the Question, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal
in Parliament assembled, That this House doth not agree
with the Report made from the Committee.
