Petition concerning Recusants.

The Lords Committees, being returned, brought with them a Petition unto His Majesty, touching Popish Recusants; wherein the Commons desire this House to join with them in Delivery thereof.

Mr. Attorney read the Petition.

The Lords Committees returned to the Commons, with this Answer from the House: That their Lordships will take it into their Consideration, and, when they are resolved thereof (which the Time will not now permit, being so late), they will give them further Answer.

Mitigation of Fines.

The Earl Marshal signified unto the House, That the Lords Sub-Committees for the Orders of the House, and Privileges of the Lords of Parliament, had conceived an Order touching Mitigation of Fines imposed by this House upon Offenders, which had been read Once the 24th of March last; and that the said Committees do desire the same to be now read again.

The Clerk read it, in hæc verba: videlicet,

Fines not to be certified till the End of the Session, without special Motion.

"That whereas this High Court of the Upper House of Parliament doth often find Cause, in their Judicature, to impose Fines, amongst other Punishments, upon Offenders, for the good Example of Justice, and to deter others from like Offences; it is Ordered, and Declared, That, at the least, once before the End of every Session, the Committees for the Orders of the House, and Privilege of the Lords of Parliament, do acquaint the Lords with all the Fines that have been laid that Session: that thereupon their Lordships may use that Power, which they justly have, to take off or mitigate such Fines, either wholly or in Part, according to the Measure of Penitency or Ability in the Offenders, or suffer all to stand, as in Equity their Lordships shall find fit.

"And that, until every Session be ended, no Estreat is to be made of such Fines set or imposed by Parliament, nor any Copy to be made thereof by the Clerk, without special Order, upon public Motion in full House."

And their Lordships generally agreed unto this Order, and commanded the Clerk to enter the same in the Journal Book.

Supply.

The Motion of the Duke of Buckingham renewed, by his Grace and other Lords, touching some speedy Provision of Money to be made for this great Business; but it was not Ordered to be further proceeded in at this Time.

Adjourn.

Dominus Custos Magni Sigilli declaravit præsens Parliamentum continuandum esse usque in diem Lunæ, videlicet, 5m diem instantis Aprilis, Dominis sic decernentibus.
