Report from the Committee concerning the Plot.

The Lord Chancellor reported to the House, "That the Committee of both Houses, appointed before the Adjournment, have several Times (fn. 1) met at Whitehall, and considered of the Business referred to them; but, finding some imaginary Jealousies abroad of the End and Intent of this Committee's Meeting, the said Committee have made no Resolutions or Opinions therein; but have thought it fit to leave the Business to the Wisdom of both Houses of Parliament, to provide such temporal Expedient, and to take such Remedy therein, as to them shall seem fit upon an Occasion of this Nature."
