Their Lordships, or any Five; to meet To-morrow Morning, at Eight of the Clock, in the
Prince's Lodgings.
Message to H.C. about a Conference on the Norwich Stuffs Bill.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Sir Wm. Childe and Sir Moundeford Brampston:
To let them know, that, according to their Desire
Yesterday, their Lordships are ready to give them a
Conference, concerning the Bill for regulating the
making of Norwich Stuffs; and do appoint the same to
be presently, in the Painted Chamber.
Highways Bill.
The Lord Wharton reported from the Committee,
the Bill for mending the Common Highways, with certain Alterations and Provisos; which were read Twice.
And, upon Debate of that Clause concerning the
Penalty, the House directed the Penalty to be distributed, Twenty Shillings to the Use of the Poor, and
Twenty Shillings towards the amending of the Highways.
And the Lord Wharton and the Lord Mohun were
appointed presently to withdraw, and mend the said
Clause according to the Direction of the House.
Then the Proviso for exempting the County of Cornwall was read, and ordered to be rejected.
Also the Proviso concerning the Peers was considered.
And the Question being put, "Whether this
Proviso, to exempt the Peers and the Clergy
out of this Bill, shall be left out ?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Then the Question was put, "Whether the Proviso for One Parish to help (fn. *) one another shall
be inserted into the Bill?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
The Lord Wharton reported the (fn. *) amending in the
Clause concerning the disposing of the Penalties; which
were read, and Agreed to.
The Earl of Portland, Earl of Anglesey, and the
Lord Ashley, were appointed to report this Conference with the House of Commons.
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 Norwich Stuffs Bill.
The Earl of Anglesey reported the Effect of the
aforesaid Conference: "That the House of Commons
agrees to all the Amendments which their Lordships
made in the Bill concerning the regulating the
making of Norwich Stuffs; only they have added a
Saving on the King's Behalf, to preserve His Title
of Aulnage and Customs for the Sealing of Stuffs;
to which they desire their Lordships Concurrence."
The which Saving being read Thrice, was Agreed
to.
Heads for a Conference concerning the Militia Bill.
Next, the Duke of Bucks reported, "That the
Committee have considered of some Reasons to be
offered at the Conference with the House of Commons, why their Lordships do think fit to leave out
the Word ["Lord"] in the Bill for the Militia:
"1. That their Lordships do not conceive that from
the adding the Word ["Lords"], there be any natural Influence of abridging the King's Power; nor
of giving any Exclusion to Commoners from being
Lord Lieutenants, since the same Title is given to
many Officers; as Lord Chancellors, Lord Chief
Justice, Lord President, and the like, who most commonly are Commoners: That their Lordships thought
the Word ["Lord"] sitted to be added for the
Dignity of so great a Military Command, since it
was admitted even in many Dignities inferior to it,
both Civil and Military; Lords Lieutenants being in
Effect His Majesty's Generals. Now Generals are always called Lords Generals.
That, though there were no Precedent for it, yet
the Reason alone might serve to require it. But
there is the Example in divers Acts, and particularly
in the Petition of Right, where they are named
Lord Lieutenants.
But the powerfulest Motive with their Lordships
to the putting in this Word ["Lords"] was, that
of Respect to those Commoners, who, by their Merit
and His Majesty's Grace, should arrive to so great
and honourable Employment, and be dignified in it
also by this Title of Lord; which indeed is the
Concernment of the Commoners, and not the Peers,
whose Birth in what Place soever they are do adorn
them with that Title: But, since the Commons have
not been pleased to understand this Design of their
Lordships to their Advantage, their Lordships do
not insist to press upon them a Respect not understood as they wisht it might have been; and do content themselves by agreeing with them, against
their own Reasons, to shew their true Desires of complying with them in every Thing that possibly they
may, without wounding deeply their most essential
Privileges."
His Grace further reported several other small Alterations; which were all Agreed to by the House, and
ordered to be communicated to the House of Commons
at a Free Conference.
Message to H.C. for this Conference.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Sir William Chylde and Sir Nathaniell Hobart:
To desire a present Free Conference with the House
of Commons, concerning the Bill for settling the
Forces of this Kingdom.
The same Committee of Lords as were appointed
Yesterday to prepare the aforesaid Reasons are appointed now to manage this Free Conference with the
House of Commons.
Report of the Conference concerning the Bill for Money for Officers who served the King during the late Troubles.
The Lord Mohun reported the Effect of the late Conference with the House of Commons, concerning the
Amendments to the Bill concerning the Distribution of
Threescore Thousand Pounds to the truly indigent and
loyal Commissioned Officers:
"And the Commons do adhere to the Title of
["Right Honourable"] given to Sir Hugh Pollard;
and they do agree to the Amendments in the other
Titles of Foreign Nobility, named as Commissioners
in that Act.
"But to the First Part of the Proviso concerning
Peers to be assessed for their Offices by Peers, the
Commons do not agree."
Hereupon the Lords agreed to the leaving out that
First of the Proviso; and Resolved, That the naming
of the Commissioners for rating the Peers Offices should
be left to the King, to name the Commissioners, being
Peers, within a Month. And the Earl of Portland
and the Lord Mohun were appointed to withdraw presently, and prepare a Proviso to this Purpose. To all
the rest of the Particulars, the Lords do concur with
the House of Commons.
The Earl of Portland reported a Draught of the
said Proviso; which, being read, was Agreed to, and
ordered to be communicated to the House of Commons
for their Concurrence therein.
The Messengers return with this Answer:
Answer from H. C.
That the House of Commons will give a present Free
Conference, as is desired.
Bill to prevent Stoppages in the Streets of Westm.
The Lord Wharton reported from the Committee, the
Bill against Stoppage of the Streets by Carts, as fit to
pass, with some Alterations and Provisos; which being
read Twice, the House ordered the Provisos to be rejected, but ordered the Bill to be engrossed.
Adjourn.
