Hodie 1a vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act to enable Trustees, during the Minority of Wriothesley Duke of Bedford, and of the Lord John Russell his Brother, to grant Leases of the Estate of the said Duke, and Setts for getting Copper and other Ore and Minerals therein; and for rendering valid and effectual several such Grants or Setts already made."

Queen present:

Her Majesty, being seated on Her Royal Throne, adorned with Her Crown and Regal Ornaments, and attended with Her Officers of State (the Lords being in their Robes), commanded the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod to signify to the House of Commons, "That it is Her Majesty's Pleasure, they attend Her immediately, in the House of Peers."

Who being come, with their Speaker; he, after a short Speech to Her Majesty, delivered the Malt Bill to the Clerk of the Parliaments; who brought it to the Table, where the Clerk of the Crown read the Title of that and the other Bills to be passed, as follows; (videlicet,)

Bills passed.

"1. An Act for charging and continuing the Duties upon Malt, Mum, Cyder, and Perry, for the Service of the Year One Thousand Seven Hundred and Twelve; and for applying Part of the Coinage Duties, to pay the Deficiency of the Value of Plate coined; and for re-coining the old Money in Scotland."

To this Bill the Clerk of the Parliaments pronounced the Royal Assent, in these Words; (videlicet,)

"La Reine remercie ses bons Subjects, accepte leur Benevolence, et ainsi le veult."

"2. An Act for settling the Precedence of the most Excellent Princess Sophia Electress and Dutchess Dowager of Hanover, of the Elector her Son, and of the Electoral Prince the Duke of Cambridge."

"3. An Act to repeal the Act of the Seventh Year of Her Majesty's Reign, intituled, An Act for naturalizing Foreign Protestants, except what relates to the Children of Her Majesty's Natural-born Subjects, born out of Her Majesty's Allegiance."

"4. An Act for explaining and altering the Laws now in being, concerning the Assizes of Fuel, so far as they relate to the Assize of Billet made, or to be made, of Beech-wood only."

"5. An Act to make a Causeway over The Denes, from Great Yarmouth to Caister, in the County of Norfolk."

To these Bills the Clerk of the Parliaments pronounced the Royal Assent, severally, in these Words; (videlicet,)

"La Reine le veult."

"6. An Act to enable John Lord Gower, Baron of Stit'nham, an Infant, to make a Settlement upon his Marriage."

To this Bill the Clerk of the Parliaments pronounced the Royal Assent, in these Words; (videlicet,)
