Report from the Conference concerning Tenures and Wardships.
The Lord Chancellor declared generally, That, at the
last Conference with the Lower House, it was, by them
of that House, opened to the Lords Committees, how
far they had proceeded in the Matter of Tenures, and
the Dependants thereon; and, upon his Lordship's Motion in that Behalf, the Lord Treasurer was requested
by the House to report the same in particular; which
his Lordship did accordingly, to this Effect: videlicet,
"That, by Mr. Recorder, from the Lower House, at
the last Meeting, it was declared, That Ease and Commodity had led the Commons to seek this Matter of Tenures, and the Dependants; that Loyalty and Love
caused them therein to take the Course they had done;
that, having received the King's Answer, which was a
Licence to treat of that Business, they departed joyful
in their Hearts, like the Men of Emmaus.
"And, in their Proceeding, he delivered Four Things
considerable: videlicet, 1. What they desire; 2. What
they would offer; 3. How they would levy it; 4. How
they may have Security for that they seek.
"Further he declared, That of the Two First, they
had determined in this Sort: videlicet, That the Knights
Service generally might be turned into Free and Common Socage. The Particulars he desired to be licensed
to read out of his Paper; the rather, for that the Party whom the Nether House used at the said Conference
did the like; and, with good Approbation, he did so.
The said Particulars are entered in the next Side of this
Leaf, ad hoc Signum (**).
"For all which they offer to the King an Hundred
Thousand Pounds yearly, wherein they do include all
the Esse and the Posse, which the King ever had of the
Matters afore desired to be compounded for."
The whole House to meet as a Committee on that Business.
Resolved, That, to the End the House may examine
every Particular so desired, and the several Values, and
thereupon consider accordingly of the Offer, and so be
the better prepared to take further Course of Proceeding with the Lower House; the whole House should
meet as a Committee, and, hac vice, to sit in Order, as
at other Times of Sitting; and to treat and confer by
way of Interlocution, no Man to be barred or stopped
by once Speaking, but to speak oftener, as Occasion
should require; and, for that Purpose, the Lords to
meet on Saturday Morning, at Eight of the Clock, as
in the House, and to read Bills until Nine of the Clock,
or some such convenient Time, and then to proceed as
aforesaid, by way of Committee.
