According to the Order of this House Yesterday,

Ld. Gerard versus Granger, Fitton, Lloyd, Cade, & al.
The Lord Mohun made a large Report from the
Committee of Privileges, to whom was referred the
Examination of the Conspiracy against the Lord Gerard
of Brandon, as appeared to this House upon the Reading of the Narrative delivered into this House by
Edward Lloyd, signed by Abraham Granger:
"Their Lordships do find, upon a strict Examination
of Witnesses, That the Business and Design against
the Lord Gerard hath been principally contrived and
carried on by Edward Lloyd and John Cade, and
John Wright, who have had several Meetings, at
several Places, with Abraham Granger and divers
other Persons, to contrive the said Narrative; and
the Committee hath also heard several Witnesses
on the Lord Gerard's Behalf, whereby the Innocency
of the Lord Gerrard hath clearly appeared: That
Alexander Fitton hath made it his Desire to the Committee, that he may be allowed to produce Witnesses, to prove every Part of the Narrative to be
true, which the Committee thinks fit to be left to
the Directions of this House: That the Opinion
of the Committee is, That the Lord Gerard is free
from any Scandal mentioned in the said Narration;
which their Lordships judge to be a mere Scandal,
and a Conspiracy and Confederacy contrived by wicked
Persons, against the Honour of his Lordship, and false
in every Part: And the Committee thinks it fit that
Edward Lloyd, John Cade, and John Wright, being
principal Actors and Contrivers of the Business, be
attached as Delinquents."
Lloyd, Cade, and Wright, to be attached.
Hereupon this House ORDERED, That the Serjeant
at Arms attending this House, or his Deputy, shall attach
the Bodies of the said Edward Lloyd, John Cade, and
John Wright, as Delinquents, and keep them in safe
Custody, until the Pleasure of this House be further
known: And it is further ORDERED, That Alexander
Fitton shall be heard, at this Bar, on Thursday next,
the Second of July, by his Counsel and Witnesses, to
prove the Narrative concerning the Lord Gerard of
Brandon, signed by Abraham Granger; at which Time
also the Lord Gerard shall be heard, by his Counsel and
Witnesses. And lastly it is ORDERED, That the said
Alexander Fitton shall produce the said Abraham Granger.
E. Middlesex and E. Bridgewater's Forms of Reprehension, &c.
Next, the Lord Privy Seal reported, "That the
Committee have drawn up, in several Papers, the
Words that are to contain the Reprehension to be
given the Earl of Middlesex and the Earl of Bridgwater, and the Submissions of those Two Lords to
this House; and what Words are fitting to be said
by the Earl of Midd. to the Earl of Bridgwater."
The said Papers were severally read, as followeth:
1. The Paper of Reprehension to the Earl of Midd.
was agreed to, with some Alterations. The Contents
whereof are as follows:
"The Lord Chancellor is to say,
E. of Middlesex's Reprehension.
My Lord of Middlesex,
"This House having taken into their Consideration
a Letter sent by you unto the Earl of Bridgwater,
wherein were many Expressions most unfitting and
most unworthy for a Person of Honour to send unto
a Person of the same Quality, together with a Challenge, whereby you have endeavoured to break the
Peace of this Kingdom, and so to reflect upon the
Honour as well as the Quiet of His Majesty's Government: I am, by Order of this House, to express
their due Resentment of this Proceeding of yours,
and to give you their solemn and severe Reprehension
for the same. And, for the future, they command
you both so to demean yourselves, as nothing of this
Business be further resented by either of you; but
that you be careful to keep that Peace which you
have so unadvisedly shaken."
2. The Paper of Reprehension to the Earl of Bridgwater was read, and approved of with a small Alteration. The Contents whereof follow:
E. of Bridgewater's Reprehension.
"My Lord of Bridgwater,
"This House hath taken Notice of your entertaining a Challenge sent you from the Earl of Middlesex, whereby you have endangered the Public
Peace, and declined the Justice of this House, receiving of Challenges being equally forbidden with
sending them: And therefore this House, having a
just Displeasure for this Proceeding of yours, have
ordered me thus solemnly and severely to reprehend
you for the same."
3. The Paper of the Earl of Middlesex' Submission
to this House was read, and approved of, with some
Additions; which follows, in hæc verba:
E. of Middlesex's Submission.
"My Lords,
"I am very sensible of your Lordships Displeasure;
and the more, being conscious of the just Provocation
I have given, by using most unfitting and most unbecoming Language to a Member of this House; for
which I humbly ask Pardon of this Honourable House,
and do acknowledge your Sentence to be most just
and merciful."
4. The Paper of the Earl of Bridgwater's Submission to this House was read, and agreed to, with a small
Addition. The Contents whereof are as follow:
E. of Bridgewater's Submission.
"My Lords,
"I am very sensible of your Lordships Displeasure;
and the more, being conscious of the just Provocation I have given, by accepting the Challenge; for
which I humbly ask Pardon of this Honourable House,
and do acknowledge your Sentence to be most just
and merciful."
5. The Paper containing what the Earl of Middlesex
is to say to the Earl of Bridgwater was read. And,
The Question being put, "Whether these Words
"[I am heartily sorry, and ask your Lordship's Pardon"] shall be added?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
And then the House agreed to the same, with the
said Addition. The Contents of the same follow:
E. of Middlesex's Acknowledgement to the E. of Bridgewater.
"My Lord of Bridgwater,
"Upon the Apprehension and Information that your
Lordship had been Party and privy unto the going
away of my Niece, I sent you in my Passion a Challenge, in Language most unfitting for me to write,
either in regard of your Lordship or myself; for
which I am heartily sorry, and ask your Lordship's
Pardon."
ORDERED, That this Judgement is to be put in Execution the next Day this House sits.
Both to ask the King's Pardon.
The Order of this House is, That the Earl of Bridgwater and the Earl of Middlesex do ask the King's Pardon for their Offences against Him.
