PRAYERS.
Hitch versus Shireburn, Report of Proceedings; and of Precedents of altering Judgements given in this House:
The Lord President reported from the Lords Committees appointed to consider of the Petition of Robert
Hitch Esquire, as follows; (videlicet,)
"That their Lordships have read the Judgement of
this House, of the Three and Twentieth of February
One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eight, in this
Case; in which it doth appear, that the Judgement
given in the Court of Queen's Bench was affirmed;
and that the Record was remitted to the said Court,
that so Robert Hitch, the Plaintiff in the Writ of Error in the Queen's Bench, might have Execution in
the same Court.
"That, upon Application to that Court, by the said
Mr. Hitch, for a Writ to the Archbishop of York, it
did appear, that the Judgement of Reversal in the
Court of Queen's Bench was, "That the Judgement
in the Court of Common Pleas should be reversed;
and that the said Robert Hitch should be restored to
all he had lost by the said Judgement of the Court
of Common Pleas;" but there was an Omission of
awarding a Writ to the Archbishop. Upon which,
the Court of Queen's Bench declined to make any
Addition to their Judgement after the Record had
been before this House. Their Lordships thereupon
thought fit to desire the Attendance of the Lord
Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench; who,
attending, acquainted them, "That the Court of Queen's
Bench could have amended their Judgement, by adding the Award of the Writ; and ought so to have
done, upon any Application made to them, by Motion,
either before or after the Writ of Error brought in,
till the same was actually transmitted into Parliament;
but that, as the Case now stands, the Court of Queen's
Bench cannot make the Addition requisite to make
the Judgement effectual, the House having pronounced their Judgement thereupon; and that it could
only be done in this House."
"Several Precedents were read, of Judgements of
this House amended, in Cases of Appeals and Writs
of Error, and in former Sessions as well as in the
same Session of Parliament: And their Lordships
observe, that some of those Amendments seemed to
be more considerable than what is desired in this
Case.
"The said Precedents are annexed to the Report.
"Their Lordships desire to observe to the House,
that, if this Amendment be not made, the Defendant
in the Writ of Error can have no Manner of Benefit
of the Judgement of this House; and though the
Judgement of the House be for him, he will be as
much precluded of all Remedy, as if an Act of Parliament had been made against him.
"The Precedents, mentioned to be annexed to this
Report, are as follow; (videlicet,)
|
|
|
"Pettit versus Hyde. |
6th December, 1667: The House being moved, "That some Words might be added to the Judgement of the Twenty-fifth of November last, for Explanation thereof:" It is Ordered, That after ["sequestered"], be added ["and Lawrence Hyde put into Possession thereof"]; and after ["discharged"], ["and Henry Pettit put into Possession thereof, as he was before the said Sequestration"]. |
| "Selwin versus Blakiston. |
9th December, 1667, the Order of the Fifth Instant was amended, by these Words; (videlicet,) ["giving Security for Payment of Costs, and otherwise, as the said Lord Keeper shall see Cause to direct"], instead of ["giving good Security to perform such Judgement as the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal shall find meet, upon the said Hearing, to make therein; and to pay such Costs as the Court shall think fit"]. |
|
"Pitt versus Pelham. |
4th January 1670, Upon Motion, it was Ordered, That the Order of the 17th of December last should run in the Words following; ["and that therefore the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, or the Lord Chancellor, for the Time being, be, and is hereby, directed to set aside the said Dismission: And their Lordships do further adjudge, That the Heirs at Law to W'm Shirley, the Testator in the said Petition mentioned, shall forthwith, by good Assurance in Law, convey the said Testator's Lands, in Blandford, to the Petitioner Robert Pitt and his Heirs; and the Court of Chancery are to compel them so to do"]." |
| "Streater versus Roper. |

| "Ashfeild versus Ashfeild. |
21th December 1689, after hearing Counsel on both Sides, to the Explanation of the Order of the Three and Twentieth of July 1689 last Session, they agreed, That after the Word ["Spinster"] should be added ["whereby Dorcas Lady Ashfield's Jointure, by the Deed of One Thousand Six Hundred Seventyfive, is impeached, as to so much as relates to the said Jointure by the said Deed"]." |
| "Ashby versus White. |
28 February 1703, Mathew Ashby, Plaintiff in a Writ of Error lately depending in this House, shewing, by Petition, that this House reversed the Judgement, and awarded Judgement for him, upon which he might have Judgement in the Queen's Bench; but, by reason of some Mistake in his Attorney, the Entry of the Judgement in the Journal will not warrant such Execution; and praying the said Entry may be amended, by leaving out these Words; (videlicet,) ["Et quod idem Matheus Ashby ad omnia quæ Occasione Judicii præd. amisit restituatur"], and by inserting these Words; (videlicet,) ["Et ulterius consideratum est per dictam Curiam Parliamenti nunc hic, quod prædict. Matheus Ashby recuperet versus eosdem Will'um White, Ric'um Talboys, Will'um Bell, et Ric'um Heydon, Dampna sua præd. per Jur. prædict. in Forma prædict. assess. necnon Decem Libras, pro Misis et Custagiis suis per eandem Curiam Parliamenti nunc hic eidem Matheo Ashby ad Requisitionem suam de Incremento adjudicat.; quæ quidem Dampna in toto se attingunt ad Septem-decem Libras; et prædict. Will'us White, Ric'us Talboys, Will'us Bell, et Ric'us Heydon, in Misericordia, &c."]: It was Ordered, That the Judgement of this House given in this Cause shall be altered, as desired." |
| "Buck versus Rawlinson. |
14 February 1704, on the Petition of Robert Buck: Ordered, That the Words following be added to the Judgement of this House, of the Twelfth Instant; (videlicet,) ["and that the Parties may be at Liberty to bring their Appeal from the Court of Admiralty to a Court of Delegates."] |

28th February 1704, the Viscountess Dowager of Faulkland praying the Explanation of the Judgement of this House of the Twelfth of December last: It was Ordered, That the Words following be added thereto; ["and that the Respondents shall accompt with the Petitioners for the Charge of the Third Voyage; and that what shall appear to be due to the Appellants upon such Accompt shall be paid to them, with Interest, in such Manner as is directed in the Court below, as to the Accompt of the Two former Voyages."] |
| "Harris versus Osbalston. |
13th November 1690, John Harris shewing, by Petition, that by a Judgement of this House, of the Three and Twentieth of April the last Session, Robert Osbalston ws to accompt for Eighty Pounds per Annum to him from the Death of Elizabeth Spicer, and that the Court of Chancery should take the Accompt; that, pursuant thereunto, the Master in Chancery hath prepared his Report; but the Report carries a Doubt whether the Eighty Pounds per Annum be to accompted for with or without Interest; and praying the House, either to direct Interest, or hear Counsel touching that Point only: It is Ordered, That the Master do proceed to the said Report for the Eighty Pounds per Annum, with Interest for the same." |
