Portbury versus Ledgingham, in Error.

This Day the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench brought in a Writ of Error, in the usual Manner, between Roger Portbury Plaintiff, and Warwick Ledgingham Defendant; and, after the Rising of the House, the Transcript was examined by the Record, and carried away by the Officer that brought it.

Whereas, upon Complaint made to this House against Mr. Samuell Francklyn, One of the Proctors of the Court of Prerogative of Canterbury, "That he and Mr. James Vosper had clandestinely proceeded in the Proving of the Will of the Lady Frances Holles, late Sister to the Earl of Clare, One of the Peers of this House, in the Court of the Archdeacon of Midd. purposely to avoid a Caveat entered by the said Earl in the Prerogative Court against the Proving thereof; and likewise the Privilege claimed on the said Earl's Behalf, and allowed by the Judge of the said Court, when they attempted the Proving of the said Will there:"

The said Samuell Francklyn, appearing this Day at the Bar, acknowledged that he did know of the Caveat entered in the Prerogative Court, and also of the Proceedings of the Lady Eleanor Holles and Lady Diana Holles in their proving of the said Will in the said Archdeacon's Court; but did not act therein himself.

It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the further Examination of the said Complaint, and Answer thereunto, is hereby referred to the Lords Committees for Privileges; whose Lordships, having heard such Persons as they think fit, and considered thereof, are afterwards to make Report to the House, whether Privilege of Parliament be in this Case.

White, Prior, & al. to be attached, for driving away his Tenant's Cattle.

It is thereupon ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Serjeant at Arms attending this House, or his Deputy, shall forthwith attach the Bodies of the said John White, John Prior, and John Peper, and bring them in safe Custody to the Bar of this House, to answer their said Offences: And this shall be a sufficient Warrant on that Behalf.
