Jennison to have Access to his Son in Newgate.
The Lord Bishop of Durham acquainted the House,
"That Mr. Jennison, Father to Thomas Jennison, a Prisoner in Newgate, is come to Town, and is at Door,
to attend their Lordships Pleasure:"
Who being called in, the Speaker told him, "That
the House took Notice of his good Intention of
coming to Town, to try whether he can prevail with
his Son to discover what he knows concerning the
horrid Design against the Person of His Majesty and
the Government."
And thereupon made the ensuing Order:
"Whereas John Jennison, Father of Thomas Jennison now Prisoner in Newgate, being come to Town,
hath appeared this Day at the Bar, and undertaken
to use his utmost Endeavour to prevail with his said
Son to confess and make Discovery of what he
knows, concerning the horrid Design against His Majesty's Person and Government: It is ORDERED, by
the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said John Jennison, and also Mr.
Smith a Kinsman of his, be, and are hereby, authorized and permitted to have free Access to the said
Thomas Jennison in Newgate as often as they, or either
of them, shall see Cause; and they are to give this
House an Account concerning this Matter: And this
shall be a sufficient Warrant on that Behalf.
"To the Keeper of Newgate, his
Deputy and Deputies, and
every of them."
Smith, a Proselyte, to give
Satisfaction of
his Conversion
to the Bp. of
Durham.
Upon the Desire of Mr. Jennison, "That one Mr.
Smith, who is lately come off from being of the
Church of Rome, and hath taken the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy, that he may be permitted to
preach:"
It is ORDERED, That the said Mr. Smith do attend
the Lord Bishop of Durham, and give him Satisfaction of
the Reality of his Conversion and Abilities; and, upon
his Lordship's Report, this House will consider what Directions to give therein.
L. Fitzwalter excused.
This Day Stephen Lushington and John Wallington,

Which Excuse the House allowed.
