It is Ordered, That the Petitioner may be heard, by his Counsel, before the Committee to whom the said Bill stands committed.

L. Bellenden's Privilege:

The House being informed, "That John Gardiner, in Custody of the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, hath satisfied the Officers of this House their Fees, on account of his Commitment for arresting the Lord Bellendine, a Peer of Great Britain:"

Gardiner to be brought to the Bar.

It is Ordered, That the said John Gardiner be brought to the Bar of this House on Tuesday next, in order to his Discharge.

Upon reading the Petition of Samuel Brewer Clothier; setting forth, "That he was employed, by the Clothiers, to attend this House the last Parliament, to shew the Hardships they conceived would fall on them, by the Bill then depending in relation to the Woollen Manufacture; and, in Prosecution of the Business, William Day, a Woollen-draper in The Strand, met the Petitioner in the Court of Request, and there assaulted, beat, and drew Blood from him; and the same being proved, at the Bar of this House, about the Seventh of July last, the said Day was ordered to be taken into Custody of the Black Rod; but, in Contempt, fled from Justice, and could not be taken;" and praying the Consideration of the Petitioner's hard Case:

It is Ordered, That the former Order of this House for taking the said Day into Custody be, and the same is hereby, renewed.

To Sir William Oldes, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod attending this House, his Deputy or Deputies, and every of them.
