Whereas Henry Hutchins was this Day brought to the Bar of this House, by the Gentleman Usher, in whose Custody he was, for having spoken very scandalous and reflecting Words against the Lord Morley and Mounteagle, a Peer of this Realm; where he asked Pardon of the House for his Offence, and was reprehended for the same:

It is ORDERED, That the said Henry Hutchins be, and is hereby, discharged, paying his Fees; and this shall be a sufficient Warrant on that Behalf.

To Sir Thomas Duppa, Gentleman Usher, and his Deputy and Deputies, and every of them.
