Report of the Conference on the Bill for removing Papists from London.
And the Earl of Rochester reported, "That the Commons do insist to retain the Proviso by them added,
concerning the Queen Dowager, in Lieu of that in the
Bill.
"1. Because it is no new Clause, and therefore imposes no new Condition upon Her Majesty; it being
the same that is enacted in the 30th of King Charles
the Second, in the Act for the more effectual preserving the King's Person and Government.
"2. Because to make an Alteration in the Law as
it now stands may look like some Kind of Countenance
to those of that Persuasion, at a Time when the Lords
themselves have judged the Resort of Papists to London to be of so dangerous Consequence to the Government, as to make this Act to remove them Ten
Miles from it.
"3. The Papists are not less active at this Time in
their Designs and Practices to disturb the Peace and
Quiet of the Kingdom, than they were in the 30th
Year of King Charles the Second; and therefore the
like Reasons which induced the Parliament to make
that Statute remain at this Time, to persuade the
House of Commons to keep the Force of it entire
in all its Parts; since the Purport thereof does not
only intend the Preservation of that King from the
Attempts of Papists, but His Successors also, the succeeding Kings and Queens of this Realm, by restraining them from resorting to Their Presence, or
Places of Their Residence."
The House, upon Consideration of these Reasons,
agreed to propose, "That the Queen should have
Thirty Servants of the King's English Subjects;" and
this to be offered to the House of Commons, at a
Conference, the next Day of Sitting after the Coronation.
Forster versus Forster.
Whereas this Day was appointed for hearing the
Cause depending in this House between Forster and
Forster:
It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That this House will
hear the said Cause, by Counsel on both Sides, on
Tuesday the 16th Day of this Instant April, at Ten of
the Clock in the Forenoon; whereof both Parties are
to take Notice, and attend with their Counsel accordingly.
Lords to prepare Reasons, concerning the Queen's Servants, in the Bill for removing Papists.
