PRAYERS.
Sir Francis Compton's Bill.
The Earl of Berks reported, "That the Committee
have considered the Bill for enabling Sir Francis
Compton to sell Land, and have heard all Persons
therein concerned; upon which, the Committee are
of Opinion, That the said Bill is fit to pass as it is."
Then,
Hodie 3a
vice lecta est Billa, "An Act to enable
Sir Francis Compton to make Sale of the Manor of
Hammerton, in the County of Huntington."
The Question being put, "Whether this Bill shall
pass?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
The same Lords that reported the last Conference
with the House of Commons are appointed to report
this Conference the Lords are going to.
The House was adjourned during Pleasure, and the
Lords went to the Conference; which being ended, the
House was resumed.
Report of the Conference concerning Sherley and Fagg.
The Lord Keeper reported the Effect of the Conference; which was managed by Mr. Powle, who said,
"That the House of Commons had desired this Conference upon the Subject-matter of the Message
which the Lords sent to them the 14th of May, concerning the Warrant for apprehending of Dr. Thomas Shirley; to which that House had returned
Answer, That they would consider of it; and they
found great Cause so to do, it being a strange and
unusual Message, and that for these Reasons following:
"1. For that this Message is by Way of Interrogatory upon the Proceedings of the House
of Commons, in a Case concerning the Privilege of a Member of that House, of which
they are proper Judges.
"2. For that the Matter of the Message carries
in it an undue Reflection upon the Speaker of
the House of Commons.
"3. For that the Matter of the Message doth
also highly reflect upon the whole House of
Commons, in their Lordships questioning that
House concerning their own Orders; which
they have the more Reason to apprehend,
because, the Day before the Message was
brought to them, the Warrant was owned,
by the Complaint of the House of Commons
to their Lordships, that the same was taken
and detained from a Servant of theirs by a
Peer; which imports that the Question in that
Message could not be for Information only,
and so tends to interrupt that mutual good
Correspondency which ought to be preserved
inviolably between the Two Houses of Parliament.
"Then Sir Thomas Lee added, That the House of
Commons had hereupon resolved, That it was an
Unparliamentary Message."
Committee to consider what is fit to be done in the Case of Sherley and Fagg.
Upon this, the House made this Order following;
(videlicet,)
"It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That it be referred to
the Committee for Privileges, to consider and prepare what is fit to be done upon the Matters offered
this Day by the House of Commons, at a Conference
had touching the Message of the Lords concerning
the Warrant for apprehending Dr. Thomas Shirley,
and report unto the House; and that the Committee
meet this Afternoon."
Message from H. C. with Bills.
A Message was brought from the House of Commons,
by Sir Trevor Williams and others; who brought up
Three Bills:
1. "An Act concerning Prince Rupert," sent down
to the House of Commons; wherein they have made
some Alterations, to which they desire the Lords Concurrence.
2. "An Act to revive and perpetuate a former Act,
intituled, An Act for avoiding unnecessary Suits and
Delays;" to which they desire their Lordships Concurrence.
3. "An Act for enabling Trustees to sell Lands, in
the Counties of Glamorgan and Monmouth, for the
Payment of the Debts of William Lewis Esquire deceased, and the Debts and Legacies of Edward
Lewis Esquire deceased, his Son;" to which their
Lordships Concurrence is desired.
Crispe versus Lady Cranborne, Delmahoy, & al. Counsel assigned him.
