King present:
His Majesty, being seated on His Royal Throne,
adorned with His Crown and Regal Ornaments, and
attended with His Officers of State; the Prince of Wales,
in his Robes, sitting in his Place on His Majesty's
Right Hand; the Lords being also in their Robes;
commanded the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod to
set the Commons know, "It is His Majesty's Pleasure,
that they atttend Him immediately, in the House of
Peers."
Mr. Compton, Speaker of H. C. presented, and approved of.
Who being come; they presented the Right Honourable Spencer Compton Esquire, whom they had
chosen to be their Speaker, for His Majesty's Royal
Approbation.
And, after a short Speech made by him to His Majesty, desiring His Majesty to excuse him from that
Service;
The Lord Chancellor, taking Directions from His
Majesty, said,
"Mr. Compton,
"You have so long and so very well discharged the
important Trust of Speaker of the House of Commons; and His Majesty has had so full Experience
of your Zeal for His Service, and for the Interest
of your Country, which are really inseparable; that
He is pleased to command me to tell you, that He is
perfectly well satisfied with the Choice which His
Commons have made of you now to be their Speaker;
and therefore does not admit of your Excuse; but
allows of and confirms you to be Speaker."
Then Mr. Speaker returned His Majesty Thanks,
for His Gracious Approbation of the Choice and
Acceptance of His Service; and humbly prayed, in
the Name of the Commons, "That His Majesty would
be graciously pleased to allow and confirm all their
ancient and accustomed Rights, Privileges, and Immunities; particularly,
"That they might have Liberty and Freedom of
Speech, in all their Debates.
"That, for their better Attendance on the Public
Service, their Persons, Estates, and Servants,
be free from Arrests and Molestations.
"That, at all convenient Times, they may have
Acces, to His Majesty's Royal Person, as Occasion shall require.
"That His Majesty would have a Gracious
Opinion of all their Actions; and that, if
himself at any Time should mistake, he might
have His Majesty's favourable Interpretation,
and Gracious Pardon."
Then the Lord Chancellor, receiving further Directions from His Majesty, said,
"Mr. Speaker,
"I am commanded by His Majesty to say, That His
Majesty, being fully assured of the Prudence, Loyalty,
and good Assections, of the House of Commons, does
most willingly grant to them all their Privileges, in
as full a Manner as they have at any Time been
granted or allowed by any of His Majesty's Royal
Predecessors.
"And as to what you have said in relation to
yourself; His Majesty will be graciously pleased to
put the best and most favourable Construction upon
your Words and Actions, in the Discharge of your
Duty as Speaker of the House of Commons."
Then the Lord Chancellor, on his Knee, receiving
further Directions from His Majesty; who, at the same
Time, delivered a Paper into his Lordship's Hand; and
being returned to his former Place at His Majesty's
Right Hand;
His Majesty was pleased to say,
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"I have ordered my Lord Chancellor to declare to
you, in My Name and Words, the Causes of calling
this Parliament."
Then the Lord Chancellor said,
King's Speech.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"I have received His Majesty's Commands from the
Throne, to declare to you, in His Majesty's Name
and Words, the Causes of His calling this Parliament, as follows:
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"I am concerned to find Myself obliged, at the
Opening of this Parliament, to acquaint you, that a
dangerous Conspiracy has been for some Time formed,
and is still carrying on, against My Person and Government, in Favour of a Popish Pretender.
"The Discoveries I have made here, the Informations I have received from My Ministers Abroad,
and the Intelligences I have had from the Powers in
Alliance with Me, and indeed from most Parts of
Europe, have given Me most ample and concurrent
Proofs of this wicked Design.
"The Conspirators have, by their Emissaries, made
the strongest Instances for Assistance from Foreign
Powers, but were disappointed in their Expectations.
However, confiding in their Numbers, and not discouraged by their former ill Success, they resolved
once more, upon their own Strength, to attempt the
Subversion of My Government.
"To this End, they provided considerable Sums of
Money, engaged great Numbers of Officers from
Abroad, secured large Quantities of Arms and Ammunition, and thought themselves in such Readiness,
that, had not the Conspiracy been timely discovered,
we should, without Doubt, before now, have seen the
whole Nation, and particularly the City of London,
involved in Blood and Confusion.
"The Care I have taken has, by the Blessing of
God, hitherto prevented the Execution of their traiterous Projects. The Troops have been encamped all
this Summer; Six Regiments (though very necessary
for the Security of that Kingdom) have been brought
over from Ireland The States General have given
Me Assurances, that they would keep a considerable
Body of Forces in a Readiness to embark on the First
Notice of their being wanted here, which was all I
desired of them; being determined not to put My
People to any more Expence than what was absolutely necessary for their Peace and Security.
"Some of the Conspirators have been taken up and
secured; and Endeavours are used for the apprehending others.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"Having thus in general laid before you the State
of the present Conspiracy, I must leave to your
Consideration what is proper and necessary to be
done, for the Quiet and Safety of the Kingdom. I
cannot but believe the Hopes and Expectations of
our Enemies are very ill grounded, in flattering
themselves that the late Discontents, occasioned by
private Losses and Misfortunes, however industriously
and maliciously fomented, are turned into Disaffection,
and a Spirit of Rebellion.
"Had I, since My Accession to the Throne, ever attempted any Innovation in our Established Religion;
had I, in any one Instance, invaded the Liberty or
Property of My Subjects; I should less wonder at any
Endeavours to alienate the Affections of My People,
and draw them into Measures that can end in nothing
but their own Destruction.
"But to hope to persuade a free People, in full
Enjoyment of all that is dear and valuable to them,
to exchange Freedom for Slavery, the Protestant
Religion for Popery, and to sacrifice at once the
Price of so much Blood and Treasure as have been
spent in Defence of our present Establishment, seems
an Infatuation not to be accounted for: But, however
vain and unsuccessful these desperate Projects may
prove in the End, they have at present so far the
desired Essect, as to create Uneasiness and Diffidence
in the Minds of My People, which our Enemies
labour to improve to their own Advantage. By
forming Plots, they depreciate all Property that is
vested in the Public Funds; and then complain of
the low State of Credit; they make an Increase of
the National Expences necessary, and then clamour
at the Burthen of Taxes; and endeavour to impute
to My Government as Grievances, the Mischiefs and
Calamities which they alone create and occasion.
"I wish for nothing more, than to see the Public Expences lessened, and the great National Debt put in
a Method of being gradually reduced and discharged,
with a strict Regard to Parliamentary Faith; and a
more favourable Opportunity could never have been
hoped for, than the State of profound Peace, which
we now enjoy with all our Neighbours. But Public
Credit will always languish, under daily Alarms and
Apprehensions of Public Danger; and, as the Enemies
of our Peace have been able to bring this immediate Mischief upon us, nothing can prevent them
from continuing to subject the Nation to new and
constant Difficulties and Distresses, but the Wisdom,
Zeal, and vigorous Resolutions, of this Parliament.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"I have ordered the Accompts to be made up, and
laid before you, of the extraordinary Charge that
has been incurred this Summer, for the Defence and
Safety of the Kingdom; and I have been particularly careful not to direct any Expence to be made
greater, or sooner, than was of absolute Necessity.
"I have likewise ordered Estimates to be prepared,
and laid before you, for the Service of the Year ensuing: And I hope the further Provisions, which the
treasonable Practices of our Enemies have made
necessary for our common Safety, may be ordered
with such Frugality, as very little to exceed the
Supplies of the last Year.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"I need not tell you of what infinite Concern it is
to the Peace and Tranquillity of the Kingdom, that
this Parliament should upon this Occasion exert themselves with a more than ordinary Zeal and Vigour.
An entire Union among all that sincerely wish well to
the present Establishment is now become absolutely
necessary. Our Enemies have too long taken Advantage from your Differences and Dissentions. Let
it be known, that the Spirit of Popery, which breaths
nothing but Confusion to the Civil and Religious
Rights of a Protestant Church and Kingdom, however abandoned some few may be in Despite of all
Obligations Divine and Human, has not so far possessed My People, as to make them ripe for such a
fatal Change. Let the World see, that the general
Disposition of the Nation is no Invitation to Foreign
Powers to invade us, nor Encouragement to Domestic Enemies to kindle a Civil War in the Bowels
of the Kingdom. Your own Interest and Welfare
call upon you to defend yourselves. I shall wholly
rely upon the Divine Protection, the Support of My
Parliament, and the Affections of My People, which
I shall endeavour to preserve, by steadily adhering
to the Constitution in Church and State, and continuing to make the Laws of the Realm the Rule
and Measure of all My Actions."
Which being ended; His Majesty was pleased to
retire; and the Commons withdrew.
The House was adjourned during Pleasure, to unrobe.
The House was resumed.
Poor, to prevent defrauding, Bill.
Hodie 1a vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act for
preventing of the Poor's being defrauded."
His Majesty's most Gracious Speech to both Houses
of Parliament was read by the Lord Chancellor.
Address on His Majesty's Speech to be drawn.
Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled, That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, "To return His Majesty the
Thanks of this House, for His most Gracious Speech
from the Throne; and for His communicating to His
Parliament, that a traiterous Conspiracy hath been
formed, and is still carrying on, against His Sacred
Person and Government, in Favour of a Popish Pretender: To declare our utmost Detestation and Abhorrence thereof, and our just Indignation against all
such as have, by any Means whatsoever, traiterously
endeavoured to alienate the Affections of His Majesty's good Subjects; or, by maliciously fomenting
any of their late Discontents, however occasioned, to
raise them to a Spirit of Rebellion: To express our
great Satisfaction in the wise Measures taken by His
Majesty, which, by the Blessing of God, have hitherto
disappointed the treasonable Projects of all His Enemies, and happily preserved the Peace and Tranquillity of the Kingdom; Most humbly and thankfully
to acknowledge the inestimable Blessings we have enjoyed, under His Majesty's most Gracious Government, during the whole Course of His Reign; and to
return our most unseigned Thanks for His Majesty's
most Gracious Declaration, on which we entirely
rely, "That He will steadily adhere to the Constitution
in Church and State, and continue to make the Laws
of the Realm the Rule and Measure of all His
Actions:" And to assure His Majesty of our unshaken
Fidelity; and that we will, to the utmost of our
Power, on all Occasions, stand by and assist His Majesty, against all His Enemies whatsoever, both at
Home and Abroad, in Maintenance of His undoubted
Right and Title to the Imperial Crown of this
Realm."
Then the Lords following were appointed a Committee, to draw an Address pursuant thereunto;

Their Lordships, or any Five of them; to meet presently, in the Prince's Lodgings near the House

The House was adjourned during Pleasure.
The House was resumed.
Habeas Corpus Act, to suspend, Bill:
The Duke of Grafton presented to the House, a Bill,
intituled, "An Act to empower His Majesty to secure
and detain such Persons as His Majesty shall suspect
are conspiring against His Person and Government."
Then, Hodie 1a vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An
Act to empower His Majesty to secure and detain
such Persons as His Majesty shall suspect are conspiring against His Person and Government."
And a Motion being made, "That the said Bill be
now read a Second Time:"
The Standing Order of this House, of the 28th of
June 1715, against reading Bills Twice the same Day,
was read.
After Debate;
The Question was put, "Whether the said Bill
shall be now read a Second Time?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
And the Bill was read a Second Time accordingly.
Ordered, That the said Bill be committed to a Committee of the whole House, presently.
Then the House was adjourned during Pleasure, and
put into the said Committee.
And, after some Time spent therein, the House was
resumed.
And the Duke of Wharton reported from the Committee, "That they had gone through the Bill, and
made some Amendments thereunto; which they had
directed him to report, when the House will please
to receive the same."
And a Motion being made,
And the Question being put, "That the Report
be now received:"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
His Grace accordingly reported the Amendments
made by the Committee of the whole House to the said
Bill.
Which were read, as follow;
"1st Sh. 10th Line. Before ["shall"], insert ["are
or."]
"11th Line. Fill the First Blank with
["Tenth"] and the other Blank with ["October."]
"12th Line. Fill the Blank with ["One
Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-two."]
"16th L. Fill the Blank with ["Twentyfourth."]
"17th L. Fill the First Blank with "October"], and the other Blank with ["One Thousand
Seven Hundred Twenty-three."]
"2d Sh. 1st Line. Fill the Blank with ["Twentyfourth."]
"2d Line. Fill the Blank with ["October."]
"3d L. Fill the Blank with ["One Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-three."]
"8th L. Fill the First Blank with ["Twenty-fourth"], and the other Blank with ["October."]
"9th L. Fill the Blank with ["One Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-three."]
"14th L. Fill the Blank with ["Twentyfourth."]
"15th L. Fill the Blank with ["October."]
"16th L. Fill the Blank with ["One Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-three."]
"Last L. Fill the Blank with ["Twentyfourth."]
"3d Sh. 1st L. Fill the Blank with ["October."]
"2d L. Fill the Blank with ["One Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-three."]
Then the said Amendments to the Twelfth Line of
the First Sheet, being read a Second Time by the Clerk,
were severally agreed to.
And then the Amendments in the Sixteenth and
Seventeenth Lines of the said Sheet, in relation to the
Time of the Continuance of the said Bill, were also
read a Second Time.
And the Question was put, "Whether to agree
with the Committee in the said Amendments?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Protest against the Amendments concering the Continuance of the Bill:
"Dissentient,
"1st, Because the Act, commonly called the Habeas
Corpus Act, is admitted on all Hands to be the great
Bulwark of the Liberty of the Subject; and therefore, although, in Cases of actual Rebellion and intended Invasion, that Act has been at Times before
suspended, yet it was done sparingly, and by Degrees; and the utmost Term for which it has hitherto
been suspended, at any One Time, has been the Term
of Six Months: Which Consideration puts us under
a very melancholy Apprehension for the very Being
or Effect of that excellent Law; since the present Suspension of it, for the Term of a Year, or more, will
be fully as good an Authority, in Point of Precedent,
for the suspending it on another Occasion for the
Term of Two Years, as any former Precedent is now
for the present Suspension during One Year and
more.
"2dly, The detestable Conspiracy, which occasions
the present Suspension, having been discovered and
signified to the City of London about Five Months
since, and divers imprisoned for it a considerable
Time past, we cannot but conceive it to be highly
unreasonable to suppose, that the Danger of this
Plot, in the Hands of a faithful and diligent Ministry,
will continue for a Year and more yet to come; and
that in so high a Degree as to require a Suspension
of the Liberty of the Subject (for so we take it to
be) during all that Time.
"3dly, His Majesty, having not visited His Dominions
Abroad these Two last Years, will very probably
leave the Kingdom the next Spring, to that End; in
which Case, this great Power of suspecting and imprisoning the Subjects at Will, and detaining them in
Prison till the Twenty-fourth of October 1723, and
for as much longer Time as till they can after that
take the Benefit of the Habeas Corpus Act (if they
can then do it at all), will be lodged in the Hands
of some of our Fellow Subjects, who we are not so
sure will be above all Prejudices and Partialities as
we are that His Majesty will.
"4thly, This weakens the Provision made in the Bill,
for the Lords and Members of the other House of
Parliament, that they shall not be committed or detained, sitting the Parliament, without the Consent of
the Houses respectively; since it is very probable the
Parliament will not be sitting the greatest Part of the
Time for which this Bill, if enacted, will continue a
Law: And such is the Weakness of Human Nature,
that we cannot be assured but that the Apprehension
of what may befal any Member of Parliament while
the Parliament is not sitting may have some Influence
on the Freedom of acting and debating in Parliament.
"5thly, The Dictatorial Power was always ended
or laid down immediately when the urgent Occasion
for it was over; and was never continued much
longer till a little before that great State (from which
all others draw so many Maxims of Government) lost
its Liberties.

And then the rest of the said Amendments were also
read a Second Time, and severally agreed to
Ordered, That the said Bill, with the Amendments,
be engrossed.
The House was adjourned during Pleasure.
The House was resumed.
Bill passed:
Hodie 3a vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act to

King's Street, and the Passages to The Old Palace Yard
in Westminster, that the Lords and others are frequently
hindered from coming to this House, to the great Inconveniency of the Members of both Houses:"
It is thereupon Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the High
Steward of the City of Westminster, or his Deputy, together with the Justices of the Peace for the said City,
shall, by their Care and Directions to the Constables and
other Officers within the said Limits, take special Order,
that no empty Hackney Coaches be suffered to make any
Stay, between Whitehall and The Old Palace Yard in Westm'r, from Eleven of the Clock in the Forenoon until Four of the Clock in the Afternoon of the same Day,
during the Sitting of this Parliament; and that no Carriages, Drays, or Carts, be permitted to pass through
the said Streets and Passages, between the Hours aforesaid, during the Sitting of this Parliament; and herein
special Care is to be taken, by the said Deputy Steward,
Justices of the Peace, Constables, and all other Officers
herein concerned, as the contrary will be answered to
this House: And it is further Ordered, That the High
Bailiff of the City of Westminster, and the Justices of
the Peace for the City and Liberty thereof, or some of
them residing in Westminster, be served with the Order
of this House made this Day, for the Purposes aforesaid.
Address reported.
The Duke of Dorset reported from the Lords Committees appointed to draw an Address, to be presented
to His Majesty, pursuant to an Order of this House
Yesterday, "That they had drawn an Address accordingly, as follows:
"Most Gracious Sovereign,
"We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects,
the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, humbly return Your Majesty the Thanks of this
House, for Your Majesty's most Gracious Speech from
the Throne; and for communicating to Your Parliament the dangerous Designs formed, and still carrying
on, against Your Majesty's most Sacred Person and Government, in Favour of a Popish Pretender.
"We cannot sufficiently express our Detestation and
Abhorrence thereof, or our just Indignation against
all such as have, by any Means whatsoever, traiterously endeavoured to alienate the Affections of Your
Majesty's good Subjects; or, by maliciously fomenting
any of their late Discontents, however occasioned, to
raise them to a Spirit of Rebellion.
"We think ourselves in Duty bound, on this Occasion, to declare our very great Satisfaction in the wise
Measures taken by Your Majesty; which, by the
Blessing of God, have hitherto disappointed the treasonable Projects of all Your Enemies, and happily
preserved the Peace and Tranquillity of the Kingdom.
"Could the Enemies of our Peace have procured a
Foreign Force to invade us, and, by such Assistance,
a Rebellion to have been raised in the Heart of Your
Kingdom; though we assure ourselves so desperate an
Attempt must have ended in their own Destruction;
it is not yet to be doubted, but that the City of London, whose Wealth and Influence have been so constantly employed in opposing Popery and arbitrary
Power, would have felt the utmost Efforts of their
Fury, and the Kingdom been made a Scene of Bloodshed and Confusion.
"Such of Your Majesty's good Subjects as may have
been unwarily misled, at so critical a Juncture, must
now plainly discern the Difference between those great
Calamities, from which, by the Blessing of God, they
have been hitherto preserved, and the imaginary
Dangers with which they have been industriously
amused.
"We cannot but acknowledge, with most grateful
Hearts, the inestimable Blessing we have enjoyed,
under Your Majesty's Government, during the whole
Course of Your Reign; and return Your Majesty our
most unseigned Thanks, for Your Majesty's most Gracious Declaration, on which we entirely depend, "That
Your Majesty will steadily adhere to our Constitution
in Church and State, and continue to make the Laws
of the Realm the Rule and Measure of all Your Actions." And we humbly beg Leave to assure Your
Majesty of our most unshaken Fidelity; and that we
will, to the utmost of our Power, on all Occasions,
stand by and assist Your Majesty, against all Your
Enemies whatsoever, both at Home and Abroad, in
Maintenance of Your Majesty's undoubted Right and
Title to the Imperial Crown of this Realm."
And the same, being read by the Clerk entire, and
afterwards in Paragraphs, was agreed to by the
House.
Ordered, That this be the Address to be presented to His Majesty.
Ordered, That the said Address be presented to
His Majesty by the whole House.
Lords to know when His Majesty will be attended.
Ordered, That the Lords with White Staves do
wait on His Majesty, humbly to know what Time His
Majesty will please to appoint to be attended by this
House, with the said Address.

The Earl of Clarendon reported from the Lords Committees to whom the Petition and Appeal of the Commissioners and Trustees of the forfeited Estates, complaining of a Decree of the Court of Delegates in Scotland, made on the Behalf of George Earl of Kinnoul
and Mr. Robert Hay his Second Son, was referred:
"That the Committee have perused the said Petition
and Appeal; and find, the same complains of a Decree of the Court of Delegates in Scotland, made the
Second Day of February last: Their Lordships thereupon caused a Clause in an Act of Parliament, of the
Sixth Year of His present Majesty, to be read, whereby it is provided, "That every Decree of the said
Court of Delegates shall remain final, in case Thirty
Days, on any of which Days Petitions for reversing
or amending the Decrees of the Courts of Scotland
may be presented, shall elapse without such Petitions
being presented, either by the said Commissioners
and Trustees, or by the Claimants." And in regard
the said Appeal was not presented within the Time
limited by the said Act, the Committee are of Opinion the same ought not to be further proceeded in."
Which Report, being read by the Clerk, was agreed
to by the House.
And the following Order was made; (videlicet,)
"Upon Report from the Lords Committees to whom
the Petition and Appeal of the Commissioners and
Trustees of the forfeited Estates; complaining of a
Decree of the Court of Delegates in Scotland, made
on the Behalf of George Earl of Kinnoul and Mr.
Robert Hay his Second Son, was referred: It is
Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled, That the said Petition and Appeal be, and is hereby, rejected."
D. of Norfolk to be committed, on a Suspicion of Treason.
The Lord Viscount Townshend acquainted the House,
(by His Majesty's Command) "That His Majesty, having just Cause to suspect that the Duke of Norfolk is
engaged in the traiterous Conspiracy now carrying on
against His Majesty's Person and Government, has
caused the said Duke to be apprehended; and His
Majesty desires the Consent of this House, that the
said Duke may be committed and detained, on Suspicion of High Treason, according to the Act passed in
this present Session of Parliament, intituled, An Act
to empower His Majesty to secure and detain such
Persons as His Majesty shall suspect are conspiring
against His Person and Government."
Then it was proposed, "That the Consent of this
House be given, that the said Duke may be committed
and detained accordingly."
And a Debate arising thereupon:
The Clause in the said Act, concerning the Imprisonment or detaining of any Member of either House of
Parliament, during the Sitting of such Parliament:
As also, the Proceedings out of the Journals of this
House, in November 1689, relating to the Commitment
of the Lord Griffin:
Together with the Proceedings in November 1692,
relating to the Earl of Huntingdon and the Earl of
Marlborough; being read:
The Question was put, "That this House does
consent to the committing and detaining Thomas
Duke of Norfolk, on Suspicion of High Treason, pursuant to the Act passed in this present
Session of Parliament, intituled, An Act to
empower His Majesty to secure and detain such
Persons as His Majesty shall suspect are conspiring against His Person and Government?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Protest against it.
"Dissentient.
"Anglesey.
"1st, Because we apprehend it to be One of the ancient
undoubted Rights and Privileges of this House, that no
Member of the House be imprisoned or detained, during the Sitting of Parliament, upon Suspicion of High
Treason, until the Cause and Grounds of such Suspicion be communicated to the House, and the Consent of the House thereupon had to such Imprisonment or Detainer; which ancient Right and Privilege
is recognized and declared, in plain, express, and full
Terms, in the Act passed this Session of Parliament,
to which the Message from His Majesty refers.
"2dly, Because it appears clear to us, not only from
former Precedents, even when no such Law was in
Being as that abovementioned, but also from the necessary Construction of the Proviso therein, concerning the Privileges of Parliament, that the House is
entitled to have the Matter of the Suspicion communicated to them, in such Manner as is consistent with
the Dignity of the House, and will enable them to
deliberate, and found a right Judgement thereupon,
for or against the Imprisonment or Detainer of the
Person concerned. But to maintain, "That, whilst that
Law shall be in Force, it shall be sufficient, in order
to obtain the Consent of the House, to communicate
a general Suspicion that a Member of the House is
concerned in a traiterous Conspiracy, without disclosing any Matter or Circumstance to warrant such
Suspicion," is, in our Opinions, an unjustifiable Construction of the said Proviso, and such as wholly
deprives the House of the Liberty of giving their
free and impartial Advice to the Throne on this Occasion; and such a Construction being made upon a
Law, so plainly intended by the Wisdom of this Parliament to assert the Privileges of both Houses, appears to us to pervert the plain Words and Meaning
of it, in such Manner as renders it wholly destructive
of those very Privileges intended to be preserved.
"3dly, Because, His Majesty having in Effect required the Judgement and Advice of the House,
touching the Imprisonment and Detainer of the Duke
of Norfolk; we ought not, as we conceive, either in
Duty to His Majesty, or in Justice to the Peer concerned, to found our Opinions concerning the same
on any Grounds other than such only as His Majesty
has been pleased to communicate in this Message.
And His Majesty, by His Message, having communicated only a general Suspicion; we think we cannot,
without the highest Injustice to the Duke, and the
most palpable Violation of one of the most valuable
Privileges belonging to every Member of this House,
give our Consent to his Imprisonment or Detainer;
and thereby make ourselves Parties to, and in some
Degree the Authors of, such his Imprisonment, until we have a more particular Satisfaction touching the
Matters of which he stands suspected; more especially
considering the long and unprecedented Duration of
the Act abovementioned; whereby the Benefit not
only of the Act commonly called the Habeas Corpus
Act, but of Magna Charta itself, and other valuable
Laws of Liberty, are taken from the Subjects of this
Realm, and extraordinary Powers are given to the
Persons therein mentioned, over the Liberties of the
People, for a Twelve-month and upwards.
"4thly, Because we think it is inconsistent, as well
with the Honour and Dignity, as with the Justice of
this House, in the Case of the meanest Subjects, to
come to Resolutions for depriving them of their Liberty, upon other than clear and satisfactory Grounds:
But, as the Members of both Houses of Parliament
are, by the Laws and Constitution of this Kingdom,
invested with peculiar Rights and Privileges, of which
the Privilege beforementioned is a most essential one,
as well for the Support of the Crown itself, as for
the Good and Safety of the whole Kingdom; we
cannot, as we conceive, without betraying those great
Trusts which are reposed in us as Peers of this Realm,
agree to a Resolution, which tends, in our Opinion,
to subject every Member of this House, even sitting
the Parliament, to unwarrantable and arbitrary Imprisonments: And we have the greater Reason to be
jealous of the Infringement of this Privilege on this
Occasion, because it had been easy, as we think, for
those who had the Honour to advise the framing the
said Message, to have communicated to this House the
Matter of which the Duke of Norfolk stands suspected, in such a Manner as might be consistent with the
Privileges of this House, and at the same Time to
have avoided any Danger or Inconvenience to the
Crown with regard to the future Prosecution of the
said Duke, if any such shall be.
"5thly, It is the known Usage and Law of Parliament, that this House will not permit any Peer to be
sequestered from Parliament, on a general Impeachment of the Commons, even for High Treason, till
the Matter of the Charge be specified in Articles exhibited to this House; which explains to us the Nature of the Privilege intended to be secured by the
Proviso, and is the highest Instance of the Care of
this House to preserve it from being violated on any
Pretence whatsoever: But, in our Opinions, it must
create the greatest Inconsistence and Repugnancy in
the Proceedings of the House, to consent that a Peer
of the Realm should be imprisoned or detained, sitting the Parliament, on a Suspicion of High Treason
only, not warranted, for aught appears to us, by any
Information given against him upon Oath, or otherwife, and no particular Circumstance of such Suspicion being communicated to the House.
"6thly, Because a Resolution so ill grounded, as this
appears to us, may produce very ill Effects, in the present unhappy Conjuncture of Affairs, by creating
fresh Jealoufies in the Minds of His Majesty's Subjects; who cannot fail of entertaining certain Hopes
of the Safety of His Majesty's Person and Government, against all His Enemies, from the Advice and
Assistance of both Houses of Parliament, whilst they
continue in the full Enjoyment and free Exercise of
their ancient and legal Rights and Privileges; but, on
the other Hand, may be alarmed with new Fears for
the Honour and Safety of His Majesty and His Government, by a Resolution taken by this House for
the Imprisonment of a Peer of the Realm, in such
Manner as, in our Opinions, is highly injurious to
his Person, and also to the Privilege of every other
Peer of this Realm, and which may prove of fatal
Consequence to the Constitution of both Houses of
Parliament.
