Journals of this House to be authenticated.
This Day, the Lord Treasurer made a Motion to the House, That, for as much as the Journal Books kept heretofore, by the Clerks of the Parliament, seemed to have some Error in them, in misplacing the Lords, so as it was doubted how the same might be of true Record, That it would please the Lords to take Order, that the said Books, that henceforth should be kept by the Clerk of the Parliament, may be viewed and perused every Parliament, by certain Lords of the House, to be appointed for that Purpose; and the List of the Lords in their Order to be subscribed by them; taking unto them, for their better Information, the King at Arms: And that this Order might begin this present Parliament.
Adjourn.
