PRAYERS.

Chairman of a Committee of the whole House.

It was moved, That whereas Yesterday there was One Point left undebated, That it might be the Work of this Day to bring that unto some Conclusion; and, because it was alledged, that there was much Time spent in the former in bringing it to a Head; therefore it was Ordered, for the better expediting of Matters hereafter in the like Manner, That the Lords Committees of the Grand Committee for Privileges do take it into Consideration, Whether, upon Adjournment of the House into a Committee, it be not necessary there be one appointed, to sit in nature of a Speaker, to recollect and gather together the Heads of those Matters that are propounded, the better to prepare Business for a Conclusion.

House in a Committee, to consider of the pretended Breach of Privilege of the H. C.

Resolution.

The House being put into a Committee, the Matter which was treated of was, Whether the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, in the High Court of Parliament assembled, taking Notice of what the King's Majesty in Person delivered to their Lordships in the High Court of Parliament, to be done in the House of Commons, and their Lordships not taking any Notice of any Thing done by any Member of that House, was a Breach of the Privileges of the House of Commons; and, after a full and free Debate of the Business, the House was resumed, and the Point was put to the Question; and it was Resolved, upon the Question, by the Major Part, That it was no Breach of the Privileges of the House of Commons, for their Lordships to hear what His Majesty declared to their Lordships, and thereupon to report the same to the House of Commons.

Heads for another Conferences to be prepared.

The Lords Committees; videlicet, the Lord Keeper, the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Privy Seal, Earl Marshal, Earl Bristoll, Earl Strafford, and the Lord Cottington, appointed to meet this Afternoon, at the Council Chamber at Whitehall, to draw up and prepare Heads against the Conference with the House of Commons.
