PRAYERS.

Haddock versus Addison.

Upon reading the Petition of Timothy Haddock, Respondent to the Appeal of Thomas Addison and Henry Inman; praying further Time for answering to the said Petition, his Writings being at Carlisle in Cumberland:

It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Timothy Haddock hath hereby Time given him for answering thereunto, until Friday the Thirtieth Day of this Instant March, at Ten of the Clock in the Forenoon.

Bridge over the River Axe, Bill:

The Lord Bishop of Winchester reported from the Committee, the Bill, intituled, "An Act for the making a Bridge over the River Axe, in the County of Somersett."

The Question was put, "Whether this Bill shall pass?"

It was Resolved in the Affirmative.

Message to H. C. that the Lords have passed it.

A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by Sir Miles Cooke and Mr. Meredith:

To let them know, the Lords have agreed to the said Bill, without any Amendment.

Some Protections struck out of the Book.

The Order made Yesterday, for summoning several Lords, upon the reading the Protections entered in the Book of Protections, " (fn. 1) " and the Lords who were present being heard; some of the Protections were struck out.

No Lord to enter a Protection till he has attended the House in the same Session.

Whereupon the following Order was made; (videlicet,)

"It is ORDERED and Resolved, upon the Question, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That no Lord shall enter any written Protection in the Book of Protections, until after he shall have personally attended this House, in the same Session of Parliament."

Leave was given for any Lord to dissent to the abovesaid Order.

Protest against it.

"That the taking off any Part of the undoubted Privileges, which every Peer of England enjoys by his Birth-right, by a Vote in a pretty thin House, especially when a Peer of this House moved, on the Behalf of the absent Lords, that a Day might be appointed for the Debate of a Matter in which they were so much concerned, seems, in the Manner of it, to make too light of what this House ought to esteem so sacred as the Privileges of the Peerage of England.

"Norfolke & Marshall."

Dagley, Messenger to the Black Rod, reprimanded for suffering Prisoners to escape.

This Day Anthony Dagley, Messenger to Sir Thomas Duppa, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod attending this House, was reprimanded, at the Bar, for not keeping in safe Custody some Persons attached by Order of this House, upon a Breach of Privilege committed against the Earl of Monmouth; and was charged, "not to suffer any Person in his Custody for the future to go abroad, either with or without him."

Beverly's Bill.

Hodie 3^a vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act for vesting in Trustees the Estate late of Sir James Beverley, in Huntingtonshire, to be sold."

The Question was put, "Whether this Bill shall pass?"

It was Resolved in the Affirmative.

A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by Sir Miles Cooke and Mr. Meredith:

To carry down the said Bill, and desire their Concurrence thereunto.

Hodie 2^a vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act to enable Jane Rogers Widow, the Relict and Executrix of the last Will and Testament of Bryan Rogers, late of Falmouth, Merchant, deceased, to sell Lands, for the Payment of the Debts and Legacies of the said Bryan Rogers, in Performance of the said Will."
