are Appellants, and Sir John Germaine and his Wife
Respondents, on Monday the Thirteenth Day of this Instant February, at Eleven a Clock in the Forenoon.
Southwell's Bill:
Hodie 3a
vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act to
make several Trusts, in the Marriage Settlements of
Edward Southwell Esquire and the Lady Elizabeth
his late Wife more effectual to answer the Intent of
them, and to explain several Powers therein."
The Question was put, "Whether this Bill shall
pass?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Message to H. C. with it.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Sir Robert Legard and Mr. Rogers:
To carry down the said Bill, and desire their Concurrence thereunto.
Message from tence, to return Dr. Sacheverel's Answer and with their Replication.
A Message was brought from the House of Commons,
by Mr. Dolben and others:
To return Doctor Sacheverell's Answer to the Impeachment against him, together with the Replication
of the Commons to the said Answer.
Which was read, and is as follows; (videlicet,)
"The Commons have considered the Answer of
Henry Sacheverell, Doctor in Divinity, to the Articles
of Impeachment exhibited against him by the Knights,
Citizens, and Burgesses, in Parliament assembled; and
observe, That there are many Things in it not warranted by the Course of Proceedings upon Impeachments, foreign to the Charge of the Commons, unbecoming a Person impeached, and plainly designed
to reflect upon the Honour of the House of Commons in this Proceedings; for which they might demand your Lordships immediate Justice.
"But the Commons being sensible that the Nature
of the Crimes whereof he stands impeached, and
the Necessity of bringing him to a speedy and exemplary Punishment, require that all Occasions of Delay should be avoided; and not doubting that your
Lordships will in due Time vindicate the Honour of
the Commons and the Justice of their Proceeding;
the Commons do aver their Charge against the said
Henry Sacheverell, for high Crimes and Misdemeanors, to be true; and that the said Henry Sacheverell
is guilty in such Manner as he stands impeached; and
that the Commons will be ready to prove their
Charge against him, at such convenient Times as shall
be appointed for that Purpose."
Then, the House being moved, "To appoint a Time
for the Trial of Doctor Sacheverell, at the Bar of
this House:"
Dr. Sacheverel's Trial appointed:
It is Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That Henry Sacheverell,
Doctor in Divinity, shall be tried, at the Bar of this
House, on Thursday next, being the Ninth Instant, at
Eleven a Clock in the Forenoon.
Message to H. C. to acquaint them therewith.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Sir Robert Legard and Mr. Rogers:
To acquaint them, that this House has appointed
Thursday next, at Eleven a Clock, for the Trial of Doctor Henry Sacheverell, for the high Crimes and Misdemeanors whereof he stands impeached, at the Bar of this
House; and that this House will order Conveniencies to

Methods to be considered, for preventing Disorders in the House.
It is Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal
in Parliament assembled, That on Wednesday next, at

Mervin and others:
Who brought up a Bill, intituled, "An Act for vesting the Estate of Thomas Berrie Esquire, deceased, in
Trustees, to be sold, for discharging several Mortgages thereupon, and other his Debts, which his Personal Estate will not extend to pay; and for laying
out the Surplus Money for the Benefit of his Widow,
and Heir at Law;" to which they desire the Concurrence of this House.
