PRAYERS.
M. de Halyfax Speaker pro Tempore.
Weavers Pet. against the Bill for enjoining the Wearing of Woollen Manufactures.
A Petition of the Bailiffs, Wardens, and Assistants
of the Companies of the Weavers at London and Canterbury; shewing, "That whereas this House is possessed of a Bill (amongst other Things) enjoining the
wearing of Woollen Manufactures Six Months in a
Year, which the Petitioners conceive may be to the
Ruin of a great Number of Manufactures of Silk and
Hair; therefore pray this House will be pleased to
appoint a Day to hear the Petitioners, before the said
Bill shall pass into a Law."
Concourse of People who attend with the Petition to disperse.
The House ordered the Speaker, in the Name of the
House, to give the Petitioners this Answer at the Bar:
"The Lords have read a Petition signed by you.
They do not now think fit to give an Answer, because
they observe that here is an unusual Manner of
Application of Men, who ought to be better directed by you, who are Bailiffs, Wardens, and
Assistants of the Company. The Lords do first require that these Crowds do go Home; when that is
done, neither you nor others of those People of
these Nations need to doubt but that their Lordships
will do Justice, and hear the Objections of Parties
concerned, in this or any other Bill that shall come
before them."
Bill for appropriating Duties to repay The States General the Expences of the King's Expedition.
Next, the House was put into a Committee, to consider the Bill for appropriating certain Duties, for
paying The States Generall of the United Provinces their
Charges for His Majesty's Expedition into this Kingdom, and for other Uses.
The House being resumed;
The Lord Cornwallis reported, "That the Committee
have considered the said Bill, and do think it fit to
pass, without any Alterations; but they are of
Opinion, that an Address be presented to His Majesty
from this House, on the Behalf of several Peers and
others, who were Servants to His late Majesty King
Charles the Second; and whereas there be some of
them Abroad, who cannot take the Oaths pursuant to
the Act of this present Parliament, that His Majesty
will be graciously pleased that they may be in the
same Condition as those that do."
Address to the King, in Behalf of Lords and others who have Securities on these Duties.
Which the House Agreed to; and ordered these
Lords to draw an Address to this Purpose, and report
the same to the House To-morrow Morning:
