Conference concerning the Commission to raise Money by Impositions, etc. reported.

This Day the Lord Keeper reported the Conference with the Commons, touching the Commission dated ultimo Februarii last, to advise of raising of Money by Impositions or otherwise. After a short Preamble, his Lordship commanded the Clerk to read the said Commission; which being ended, he shewed the many Inconveniencies which the Commons observed therein, and that they chiefly stood upon it, "That to raise Money by Impositions, without Consent of Parliament, is directly against the Liberty of the Subject, and trencheth upon the Propriety of their Goods, contrary to the Judgement lately given this Parliament; videlicet, contrary to His Majesty's gracious Answer to the Petition of Right; and that the Commons do demand that this Patent may be damned and canceled, and the Inrollment thereof to be vacated; and the Warrant also for the Great Seal to be damned and canceled.

"And also, That the Commons do demand, That the Projectors and Procurers of this Commission might be discovered, and proceeded against."

Committee to draw up a Message to the King, for canceling this Commission.

This Report ended; the Lords long debated the said Complaint and Demands of the Commons. And, in the End, their Lordships appointed a special Committee, to draw up a Message to the King, from this House, for canceling of the said Commission.

The Names of the said Committee: videlicet,

L. President.

D. of Bucks asks Leave to make a Protestation in the H. C. touching a Speech at his own Table, of which he is falsely accused.

The Duke signified unto the House, That he is informed one of the House of Commons hath affirmed that his Grace did speak these Words at his own Table; videlicet, "Tush! it makes no Matter what the Commons or Parliament doth; for without my Leave and Authority, they shall not be able to touch the Hair of a Dog." And his Grace desired Leave of their Lordships, That he might make his Protestation in the House of Commons concerning that Speech; and to move them, that he which spake it of him (being a Member of that House) might be commanded to justify it, and his Grace heard to clear himself.

To do as he thinks proper.

Their Lordships, considering thereof, Ordered, That the Duke shall be left to himself to do herein what he thinks best, in the House of Commons.

Protests his Innocence.

Whereupon the Duke gave their Lordships Thanks, and protested, upon his Honour, That he never had those Words so much as in his Thoughts. The which Protestation the Lords commanded to be entered, that the Duke may make Use thereof, as Need shall be.
