PRAYERS.
Ly. Delawar, Privilege: Exigent against her to be vacated.
The Earl of Dorsett reported from the Committee of
Privileges, "That their Lordships have considered of
the Manner of vacating the Exigent and Outlawry
against the Lady Dowager Delawar, a Peeress of this
Realm, referred by the House to their Consideration.
They have had the Opinion of the Judges of the
Court of Common Pleas therein; and find, that the
said Exigent and Outlawry, being before Judgement,
may be vacated by the Directions of the Judges of
that Court (whereas, if it had been after Judgement,
it must have been done by Writ of Error): Upon
Consideration whereof, the Committee are of Opinion,
That an Order of this House should be directed to the
Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, requiring
them to take Care and give Directions for the vacating
the said Exigent and Outlawry, which ought not to
have been issued against the Lady Dowager Delawar,
according to their own Rules in that Court:
Brisco, the Attorney, to be disqualified from practising.
"And whereas Walcot Brisco, an Attorney of that
Court, who sued out the said Writ of Exigent and Outlawry, hath, ever since Complaint thereof made to this
House, absconded, thereby to avoid the Justice of this
House; the Committee are of Opinion, That this House
(if they think fit) direct that the Court of Common Pleas
cause his Name to be struck out of the Book or Roll
of Attornies of that Court, so as he may not henceforth practise as an Attorney therein."
ORDERED, That this House agrees to this Report,
and orders the same accordingly.
