of this House, on Friday next, at Eleven a Clock?"
And, after further Debate, it was moved, "That
these Words, (videlicet,) ["upon the Appellants paying Ten Guineas to the Respondent, for this Day's
Default"] be added to the said Question."
And the Question being put, "Whether those
Words shall be made Part of the Question?"
It was Resolved in the Negative.
Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled, That the said Cause be adjourned, to be heard, at the Bar of this House, on Friday next, at Eleven a Clock; and that, on hearing
thereof, this House will take into Consideration this
Day's Default, on the Part of the Appellants.

The Earl of Cholmondeley acquainted the House,
"That the Lords with White Staves had (according to
