The Earl of Shaftesbury reported, "That the Committee appointed Yesterday, to consider in what State
the Impeachments in the last Parliament now stand,
have perused the Journal of this House; and find
that, the 5th Day of December 1678, the Impeachments against the Five Lords now Prisoners in The
Tower were brought from the House of Commons,
which consisted of a general Charge of Treason and
other high Crimes; the House of Commons declaring
they would in convenient Time exhibit the Articles of
their Charge against them.
"The next Day, this House appointed to go upon
the Consideration of these Impeachments; and all the
Judges were appointed to be then present: But nothing was done thereon.
"The Lords Committees do also find, that an Impeachment of High Treason, and other high Crimes,
against Thomas Earl of Danby, Lord Treasurer, was
brought from the House of Commons, the 23th Day
of December, 1678; and the particular Articles then
exhibited: And the Commons desired that he might
be sequestered from his Place in Parliament, and committed to safe Custody.
"That the Lord Treasurer desired Copies of all
Papers and Proceedings concerning this Business; and
that it was then resolved, upon the Question, That
the Lord Treasurer should not then withdraw.
"It further appears, that, on the 26th of December,
1678, the Lord Treasurer moved the House, for a
Copy of his Charge, and that he might not lie long
under it: Whereupon it was moved, That the House
would consider of the Desire of the House of Commons, concerning his Consinement.
"The Debate was adjourned.
"It appears that this House, on the 27 of Decem.
resolved, That the Lord Treasurer should not now be
consined; and ordered, That he should have a Copy
of the Articles, to which he was appointed to bring
in his Answer before the Third Day of January;
and that he might have Counsel to assist him."
