Leicester Forest.
Whereas there were Two Petitions exhibited this
Parliament unto the Lords, one from the Borderers,
Inhabitants, and Commoners, in or near the Forest or
Chace of Leicester, in the County of Leicester; the
other from the Mayor, Bailiffs, and Burgesses, and
other poor Inhabitants, of the Borough of Leicester,
concerning the Disforestation of Leicester Forest, in the
County of Leicester, with a particular Schedule of their
Grievances affixed to each Petition; wherein the said
Borderers do lay Aspersions of indirect Dealing in the
said Disforestation, upon Sir Myles Fleetwood, Knight,
employed by His Majesty in that Service, as by their
said Schedule may appear; the which Schedules and
Petitions were read in the House on Monday the 23d
of this Instant Mouth, and then referred to the Lords
Committees for Petitions, before whom they were read
on Wednesday following (the 25th of this Month), and
Counsel heard on both Sides; and the Opinion of the
said Lords Committees was this Day reported by the
Earl of Bedford to the House.
Whereupon it was Ordered, and declared, That
the House hath cleared Sir Myles Fleetwood from any
Aspersion or Miscarriage that was laid upon him by the
said Petitions or Schedules; and have further Declared,
That what was done by him was warranted by Justice
and Judgement; and that it appeared unto the Committee, that he performed and gave Satisfaction unto all
such as appeared by any Presentment had any Right of
Common, he improving the King's Revenue, and retrenching the Charge with raising Eight Thousand
Pounds to the King out of the said Forest of Leicester;
and the House wished that all Service of such a Nature
might have such a Servant to be employed for His Majesty. It was likewise Assented unto by the House,
That, at their humble Motion to His Majesty, the Bill
exhibited in the Star Chamber against those riotous
Persons, as likewise against the Mayor, Burgesses, and
Commonalty of Leicester, whom the Lords Committees
hoped were not guilty of the Misdemeanors or Riots
complained of; and that the whole Proceedings of that
Suit might stay, and be no further prosecuted against
any, but only against such as being mentioned in the
said Bill, or having been riotous Persons within the said
Towns, that shall attempt hereafter the breaking down
of any of the Inclosures. And it was also moved, and
Ordered, That His Majesty may be humbly moved,
from the Lords of this House, That he would be pleased
to give the Earl of Huntingdon a Recompence, as His
Majesty out of His Favour (fn. *) hath done to the Lords Lieutenants of His Forests, upon the Disaforesting of the
said Forest of Leicester. It was also Agreed by the
House, That Mr. Attorney General shall move
His Majesty from their Lordships, on the Behalf of the
said Mayor and Inhabitants of the Town of Leicestre,
and others who are now sued in the Star Chamber for
Riots concerning the said Forest, that the Suit against
them may cease.

A Petition was exhibited to the Lords in Parliament
by the Earl of Warwicke against the East Indian Company, concerning the taking of Two Ships of his in the

Counsel Learned on both Sides, by Way of Mediation,
to make an Agreement, by mutual Consent of both
Parties; which was, That the East Indian Company
should pay unto the Earl of Warwicke the Sum of Four

King present.
REX.
Memorandum, His Majesty came this Morning to give
His Royal Assent to the Bills, and make an End of this
Session. But His Majesty had not on His Parliament
Robes; neither had the Lords on theirs, for that their
Lordships did not expect His Majesty's coming until the
Afternoon (prout 23 Junii, post meridiem).
Commons come up.
His Majesty being placed in His Royal Throne, the
Commons were sent for, to hear His Royal Answer to
the Bills.
The Commons being come, His Majesty made this
Speech: videlicet,
King's Speech.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"It may seem strange that I come so suddenly to end
this Session; wherefore, before I give My Assent to
the Bills, I will tell you the Cause; though I must
avow that I owe an Account of My Actions to none
but to God alone. It is known to every one, that
a while ago the House of Commons gave me a Remonstrance how acceptable every Man may judge; and
for the Merit of it I will not call that in Question;
for I am sure no wife Man can justify it.
"Now, since I am certainly informed that a Second
Remonstrance is preparing for Me, to take away My
Profit of Tonnage and Poundage (one of the chief
Maintenances of the Crown), by alledging that I have
given away My Right thereof, by My Answer to your
Petition, this is so prejudicial unto Me that I am forced
to end this Session some few Hours before I meant it,
being willing not to receive any more Remonstrances
to which I must give an harsh Answer.
"And, since I see that even the House of Commons
begins already to make false Constructions of what
I granted in your Petition, lest it might be worse interpreted in the Country, I will now make a Declaration concerning the true Meaning thereof.
The Profession of both Houses, in Time of hammering this Petition, was no ways to intrench upon
My Prerogative; saying, They had neither Intention nor Power to hurt it: Therefore it must needs
be conceived that I have granted no new, but only
confirmed the ancient Liberties of My Subjects; yet,
to shew the Clearness of My Intentions, that I neither
repent nor mean to recede from any Thing I have promised you, I do here declare, That those Things
which have been done, whereby Men had some Cause
to suspect the Liberty of the Subjects to be trenched
upon (which indeed was the First and true Ground
of the Petition), shall not hereafter be drawn into
Example for your Prejudice: And, in Time to come
(in the Word of a King), you shall not have the like
Cause to complain.
"But as for Tonnage and Poundage, it is a Thing
I cannot want, and was never intended by you to ask,
never meant (I am sure) by Me to grant.
"To conclude, I command you all that are here to
take Notice of what I have spoken at this Time, to
be the true Intent and Meaning of what I granted
you in your Petition.
"But you, My Lords the Judges, for to you only,
under Me, belongs the Interpretation of Laws, for
none of the House of Commons, joint or separate
(what new Doctrine soever may be raised), have any
Power either to make or declare a Law without My
Consent."
Speaker of the H. C. presents the Subsidy Bill.
His Majesty's Speech ended; the Speaker presented
the Subsidy Bill from the Commons, which, he said, was
the greatest Testimony of their Love unto His Majesty,
their own Necessities, and the Time and Manner of Payment considered, that ever was granted in any One Parliament; and humbly prayed His Majesty's Royal Assent
unto the Bills passed both Houses.
Bills receive the Royal Assent.
Then the Clerk of the Crown read the Title of each
Bill, and the Clerk of the Parliament His Majesty's Answers to the same.
Parliament prorogued.
Dominus Custos Magni Sigilli, ex Mandato Domini
Regis, prorogavit hoc præsens Parliamentum usque in
diem Martis, 20m diem Octobris proxime sequentem.
