This Day being appointed to debate the Business of the Petitioner that claims the Title of Viscount Parbecke; the House took into Consideration in what Method to proceed therein, whether upon the whole Matter together, or to divide it into Parts.

And the Question being put, "Whether to proceed in this Case upon the whole Matter:"

It was Resolved in the Affirmative.

Protest against proceeding in the Case on the whole Matter.

"Before the Question was put, for proceeding in the Case of the Claim for the Title of Viscount Purbeck, Leave being asked, and given, to enter Protest if it was carried in the Affirmative; we do accordingly enter our Dissent: Because, there being Three Points arising from the Debate of the Case; the First, of Illegitimacy; the Second, concerning the Being of a Patent of Honour, which are Matters of Fact and ought to be determined before the Point of Law; which is the Third Point, concerning the extinguishing of Honour by a Fine, which by this House in a full Assembly hath been adjudged, nemine contradicente, cannot legally be done; and that we cannot, upon complicated and accumulative Questions give a Resolution; nor hath the Practice been so, but upon the Case agreed, or single Propositions, except where the House is unanimous in Judgement; whereas in this Cause they appear yet much divided.
