and examined to the Truth thereof.
Message from the King, to adjourn.
The Lord Chancellor acquainted the House, "That
he was commanded by His Majesty, to impart to their
Lordships a Message from His Majesty, under His
Royal Sign Manual."
And his Lordship read the same, as follows:
"GEORGE R.
"His Majesty understanding that many both of the
House of Lords and Commons are detained in the
Country, as well by their private as the public Business; and the Holy-days being so near (during which
there is usually a Recess); it is His Majesty's Pleasure,
that the Parliament adjourn to Monday the Ninth Day
of January next; at which Time His Majesty intends
the Parliament shall fit to do Business."
Accordingly,
Adjourn.
