Message from H. C. for a Conference.
A Message was brought from the House of Commons,
by the Lord Angier, &c.; who desired a Conference, so
soon as it may stand with their Lordships Conveniency,
concerning Business of great Importance.
The Answer returned was:
Answer.
That this House will give a present Conference, in the
Painted Chamber, as is desired.
The Lord Chancellor is appointed to report this Conference.
Halk's Petition about the Rectory of Upminster.
Upon reading the Petition of John Halk, Rector of
Upminster, in the County of Essex:
It is Ordered, That Tithes and Profits of that Place
shall be secured in the Hands of Agmondisham Pickuyes
and Rob't Sibthorpe, and not in the present Churchwardens.
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 the Desire of H. C. for the Bill of Indemnity, and other Public Bills, to be expedited; and about borrowing 100,000 £. of the City.
The Lord Chancellor reported the Effect of the Conference; which was, "That the House of Commons
desired earnestly the keeping of a good Correspondency; and to impart unto their Lordships what is
come to their Knowledge; videlicet, That the House
of Commons having sent up several Bills, to charge
the People of this Kingdom with Payments, contrary
to former Precedents of Parliament, before Acts of
Grace, yet there hath been no Act of Grace and
Pardon, to satisfy their Representatives. As we have a
King exceeding His Predecessors in Goodness and
Grace towards His People; so, the House of Commons
say, they have exceeded in their Duty and Proceedings beyond former Parliaments. The House of
Commons have brought up divers Bills of great and
public Concernment to the King and the whole Kingdom; as, the Bill of Indemnity, Bill of Judicial Proceedings, Bill of Confirmation of Magna Charta; and
the Subjects cannot go on in Cheerfulness in paying
their Taxes until the Passing of these Bills; especially the Bill of Indemnity, which the Houses (fn. *) have
been so pressed, by His Majesty's Letter from Breda,
and His Majesty's Speech and Message, to give speedy
Expedition in. The House of Commons further say,
That they have such great urgent Occasion of present
Monies, that they must be forced to desire the Loan
of One Hundred Thousand Pounds of the City of
London, wherein they desire their Lordships Concurrence; but they have little Hopes to obtain it, in
regard of their Fears, by the not passing the Bill of
Indemnity. That they have this Day received a Message from the King, concerning providing of Money
speedily for the Army and the Navy, who are in great
Wants for Want of Money, there being Twentyfour Ships lately come into Harbour for Want of
Provisions, which cannot be supplied without Monies.
And, for Want of passing the Bill of Judicial Proceedings, the Judges cannot go their Circuits, whereby
the Subjects suffer, in their Properties, Estates, and
Lives. Therefore the House of Commons desires
their Lordships would please to give all possible Expedition in the passing the aforesaid Bills."
Then the House was again adjourned into a Committee during Pleasure, to proceed further in the Bill of
Indemnity.
The House was resumed.
Bill of Indemnity.
And the Lord Robertes reported, "That the Opinion
of the Committee is, That for the speedy Dispatch
of this Bill, that no further Addition or Exception
shall be added to this Bill of Indemnity, unless the
Business of Ireland."
Which Opinion was confirmed by the House; and
ordered the same accordingly.
Bill for Judicial Proceedings.
Ordered, That the Committee for Judicial Proceedings shall meet this Afternoon, at Four of the
Clock.
E. of Denbigh, Leave to be absent.
Ordered, That the Earl of Denbigh hath Leave to
go into the Country, for his Health.
Order to stay the demolishing Churches in Exeter, and to deliver them to the Ministers.
The House was this Day informed, "That there
was great Ruin, Waste, and Destruction, of several
Churches in the City of Exeter."
It is Ordered, by the Lords in Parliament, That
there shall be no further Waste, Demolishing, or Destruction, of any Church in Exeter, until the Pleasure
of this House be further signified; and that the Cause
depending now before their Lordships concerning the
City of Exeter in that Behalf shall be heard, at this Bar,
on this Day Fortnight, which will be on the 23th of
this Instant August: And hereof all Parties concerned
are to have timely Notice, who are then to attend the
said Hearing accordingly; and that such Churches as
are now standing shall be employed to Divine Uses; and,
to that End, the Mayor and Chamberlain of the said
City of Exeter, and all others pretending any Title from
them to the said Churches, are hereby required forthwith to deliver the Possession of the said Churches, with
what belongs to them, unto the Churchwardens and
other Persons concerned therein.
Halk's Order concerning the Rectory of Upminster.
Upon the Petition of John Halke, Rector of Upminster,
in the County of Essex:
It is Ordered, by the Lords in Parliament, That
Robert Sibthorpe, Agmondisham Pickuyes, and James Hand,
or any Two of them, are hereby authorized and required to sequester into their Hands the Tithes and
Profit: of the said Rectory of Upminster, to the Use of
the true Owner; and to keep them in Safety, until the
Right be determined by Law, whether the Petitioner or
the Incumbent hath most Title thereunto; and that the
Churchwardens and Overseers are hereby discharged of
meddling with the Tithes, Profits, or Benefits, belonging
to the said Rectory of Upminster; any former Order of
this House in any wife notwithstanding.
