PRAYERS.
L. Willoughby of Par. takes the Oaths.
This Day Thomas Lord Willoughby of Parham took the
Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy, and subscribed the
Declaration, in Pursuance of the Act for the more effectual preserving the King's Person and Government, by
disabling Papists from sitting in either House of Parliament.
Bill for reversing L. Stafford's Attainder.
The House was put into a Committee, to proceed in
the Consideration of the Bill for reversing the Attainder
of the Lord Viscount Stafford.
The House was resumed.
The Earl of Bridgwater reported, "That the Committee of the whole House were in further Consideration of the Bill for reversing the Attainder of the Lord
Viscount Stafford, and were reading of Records, which
would take up some Time; but the Committee understanding there was a Message from the House of
Commons of great Concern, were willing the House
might be resumed, to receive the said Message; and
then desired the House would appoint another Time
for the House to be put into a Committee again."
The House ordered, the Committee of the House
should sit again, after the receiving of the Message.
Message from H. C. with a Bill.
A Message was brought from the House of Commons,
by Mr. Solicitor General; who brought up a Bill, passed
by the House of Commons, intituled, "An Act for
granting an Imposition upon all Wines and Vinegar
imported, between the Four and Twentieth Day of
June 1685, and the Four and Twentieth Day of June
1693;" to which Bill the Commons desire their Lordships Concurrence.
Imposition on Wines, &c. Bill.
Hodie 1a
vice lecta est Billa, "An Act for granting
His Majesty an Imposition upon all Wines and Vinegar imported, between the Four and Twentieth Day
of June, 1685, and the Four and Twentieth Day of
June, 1693."
Bill for reversing L. Stafford's Attainder.
The House was again adjourned into a Committee, to
proceed in Consideration of the Business which was
debated before the Message.
The House was resumed.
And the Earl of Bridgwater reported, "That the
Committee of the whole House have considered the
Bill for reversing the Attainder of the Lord Viscount
Stafford; and have made some Alterations in the
Title, a considerable Amendment in the Preamble,
and a small Amendment in the Enacting Clause. The
Opinion of the Committee is, That the Bill do pass,
with the said Amendments."
The Amendments were read Twice; and the House
agreed to the said Amendments.
Then the Question was put, "Whether this Bill,
with the Amendments, shall be engrossed?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Protest against engrossing it.
The Earl of Anglesey and some Lords desired Leave,
before the Question was put, to enter their Dissents, if
the Question were carried in the Affirmative:
"1. Because the Assertion in the Bill, of its being
now manifest that the Viscount Stafford died innocent,
and that the Testimony on which he was convicted
was false, which are the sole Grounds and Reasons
given to support the Bill, are destitute of all Proof,
Warrant, or Testimony of Witness, or Matter of
Record before us.
"2. That the Record of the King's Bench, read at
the Committee concerning the Conviction, last Term,
of One of the Witnesses for Perjury, in collateral
Points of Proof, of no Affinity to the Lord Stafford's
Trial, and given several Years before, it's conceived,
can be no Ground to invalidate the Testimony upon
which the said Viscount was convicted: which could
never legally be by One Witness, and was, in Fact,
by the Judgement of his Peers, on the Evidence of at
least Three.
"3. It's conceived, the said Judgement in the King's
Bench, and the whole Proceedings, was unprecedented, illegal, and unwarranted, highly derogatory
to the Honour, Judicature, and Authority of this
Court, who have Power to question and punish Perjuries of Witnesses before them, and ought not to be
imposed upon by the Judgements of inferior Courts,
or their Attainders of a Peer invalidated by Implication; and the Popish Plot, so condemned, pursued,
and punished by His late Majesty and Four Parliaments, after public solemn Devotion through the
whole Kingdom, by Authority of Church and State,
to be eluded, to the Arraignment and Scandal of the
Government, and only to the restoring of the Family
of One Popish Lord; and all this being without any
Matter judicially appearing before us to induce the
same, and the Records of that Trial not suffered to
be read for Information of the Truth before the
passing of the Bill.
"Lastly, For many other weighty Reasons offered
and given by divers Peers in the Two Days Debate
of this Bill, both in the Committees and the House.
"Anglesey."
Message from H. C. with a Bill.
A Message was brought from the House of Commons,
by Sir Edmond Jennings and others:
Who brought up a Bill, passed the Commons, for
reviving a former Act for transporting of Leather; to
which their Lordships Concurrence is desired.
Bill for Exportation of Leather.
Hodie 1a
vice lecta est Billa, "An Act for reviving a
former Act for transporting of Leather."
Bill to prevent Minors clandestine Marriages.
The Earl of Huntingdon reported from the Committee
for the Bill to prevent Minors marrying without Consent of their Parents, "That the Committee have made
several Alterations and Amendments therein, which
are offered to the Consideration of this House."
The Amendments and Alterations were read Twice.
And after some Debate, it is ORDERED, That the
Consideration of the Amendments and Alterations in the
said Bill be referred to a Committee of the whole House,
To-morrow Morning.
