Carew and D.

Upon Delivery of which Message to the Lower House, they assented accordingly to a Motion made in that Behalf.

Upon a Motion sent this Day from the Lower House, by Sir Walter Ralegh, Sir Francis Hastings, Sir Edward Hobby, and others, signifying, that they desired Conference with some of their Lordships, for certain Matters concerning the Honour of both Houses, the Lords undernamed were selected and chosen to confer thereabouts with such as should be nominated and sent by the Lower House; and the Time and Place of Meeting appointed upon Thursday next, by Eight of the Clock in the Morning, at the Outward Chamber, near the Parliament Presence, which was signified to the said Sir Walter Ralegh and the rest, in Answer of their said Message:

This Day, the Lord Archbishop of Cant. being the first of the Committees on the Bill concerning Andrew and Francis Kettleby, made Report to the House, That the said Committees did desire, and had endeavoured, to make some Agreement betwixt the Parties, by procuring the Wife of Andrew Kettleby to accept of some reasonable Conditions for her Estate; which they held to be the better Course than that the Bill should proceed absolutely, without any Help for the said Wife. But forasmuch as the said Committees could not prevail therein with her (who utterly refused all Composition), they therefore returned the Bill again to the House, without Alteration, in such Sort as they received the same; whereupon Order was given for the ingrossing thereof.
