E. Guilford takes the Oaths.
This Day Francis Earl of Guilford took the Oaths,

and subscribed the Oath of Abjuration, pursuant to the
Statutes.
E. Howe introduced:
Richard Viscount Howe being by Letters Patent, bearing Date the 19th Day of August, in the 28th Year of
His present Majesty, created Earl Howe, was (in his
Robes) introduced between the Earl Camden and the
Earl of Ailesbury (also in their Robes), the Gentleman
Usher of the Black Rod, and Garter King at Arms preceding; his Lordship on his Knee presented his Patent
to the Lord Chancellor at the Woolsack, who delivered
it to the Clerk, and the same was read at the Table; his
Writ of Summons was also read as follows; (videlicet)
"George the Third, by the Grace of God, of Great
Britain, France, and Ireland, King, Defender of the
Faith, and so forth; to Our right trusty and right
well-beloved Cousin and Counsellor Richard Earl
Howe, Greeting: Whereas by Reason of certain arduous and urgent Affairs concerning Us, the State
and Defence of Our Kingdom of Great Britain, and
the Church, We did lately, with the Advice and Consent of Our Council, ordain Our present Parliament to
be holden at our City of Westminster, on the Eighteenth
Day of May, in the Twenty-fourth Year of Our
Reign, which Parliament hath been from that Time
by several Adjournments and Prorogations adjourned,
prorogued, and continued to and until Thursday the
Twenty-fifth Day of September now next coming, at
Our City aforesaid, to be then there held: We strictly
enjoining command you under the Faith and Allegiance by which you are bound to Us, that considering the Difficulty of the said Affairs, and Dangers impending, all Excuses being laid aside, you be personally present at the said Day and Place with Us, and
with the Prelates, Nobles, and Peers of Our said
Kingdom, to treat of the aforesaid Affairs, and to give
your Advice, and this you may in nowise omit, as you
tender Us and Our Honour, and the Safety and Defence of the said Kingdom and Church, and the Dispatch of the said Affairs. Witness Ourself, at Westminster, the Nineteenth Day of August in the Twenty-eighth Year of Our Reign.
"Yorke."

the Oath of Abjuration, pursuant to the Statutes; and was
afterwards placed on the lower End of the Earls Bench.
Pedigree delivered.

Berkeley, the Earl Ferrers, the Earl of Strafford, the
Earl of Portsmouth, the Earl of Darlington, and the
Lord Rodney, desiring to be excused in regard of their
ill State of Health."
Ordered, That the said Lords be excused.

Ordered, That the said Lord be excused.
The like Request was made on the Part of the Lord
Heathfield, on the Motion of the Earl of Macclesfield.

The like Request was made on the Part of the Duke

Report of Evidence taken before the Privy Council, relative to His Majesty's Health, delivered.
The Lord President (with Leave of the House) presented a Copy of a Report of the Evidence, taken on
Wednesday the 3d Day of this Instant December, before
the Lords of His Majesty's Privy Council, relative to the
State of His Majesty's Health.
The same was read by the Clerk as follows; (videlicet)
"At the Council Chamber Whitehall, the 3d of
December 1788.
"Present,
"The Lords of His Majesty's most Honourable Privy
Council.
"Dr. Richard Warren called in and sworn, and examined as follows:
Q. "You are desired to acquaint this Board, whether the State of His Majesty's Health is such as to
render Him incapable of coming in Person to His Parliament, or of attending to any Kind of Public Business?"
A. "Certainly incapable."
Q. "What are the Hopes you entertain of His Majesty's Recovery?"
A. "The Probability of Cure can only be determined by past Experience, by which I learn, that the
greater Number of Persons who have fallen into the
same State in which His Majesty now is, including all
the Species of the Disorder, have been cured."
Q. "Can you form any Judgement or probable Conjecture of the Duration of His Majesty's Illness?"
A. "The Time necessary for obtaining the Cure cannot be ascertained."
Q. "Whether in that particular Species of the Disorder, that His Majesty has fallen into, it has been
found from Experience, that the greater Number of
Persons so affected have been cured?"
A. "It is not in my Power to ascertain the Species,
because no known Distemper has preceded, that can
account for it."
Q. "Whether so far as Experience enables Dr. Warren to judge of His Majesty's Disorder, he thinks it
more probable that His Majesty will or will not recover so as to render Him capable of attending to Publick Business?"
A. "I have not, and I believe it is impossible for any
one, to have Data sufficient for the Answer to this
Question."
Q. "What Degree of Experience has Dr. Warren
had himself, or does he know others to have had, in
this particular Species of Disorder?"
A. "It has fallen to my Lot to see a great Number of
Persons in the Course of 27 or 28 Years Practice,
who have had the same Disorder with which His Majesty is now afflicted; I have generally attended them
for a short Space of Time, and have seen some of them
get well sometimes under my sole Care, sometimes in
Conjunction with Physicians who profess this Branch
of Medicine only; it has frequently happened, but
not always, that if the Patient did not soon get well,
I left him under the Care of the Physicians who professed this particular Branch of Medicine only, who
sometimes afterwards sent for me in Consultation."
"Sir George Baker Baronet called in and sworn, and
examined as follows:
Q. "You are desired to acquaint this Board, whether
the State of His Majesty's Health is such, as to render
Him incapable of coming in Person to His Parliament,
or of attending to any Kind of Public Business?"
A. "His Majesty in His present State is unfit for any
Public Business."
Q. "What are the Hopes you entertain of His Majesty's Recovery?"
A. "The Hopes that I entertain of His Majesty's
Recovery, depend upon the Experience of Physicians,
particularly those who attend the Public Hospitals, by
which we learn, that the greater Part of those who
have been affected as His Majesty now is, have been
cured."
Q. "Can you form any Judgement or probable Conjecture of the Duration of His Majesty's Illness?"
A. "I can form no Conjecture of the Duration of
His Majesty's Illness."
"Sir Lucas Pepys Baronet called in and sworn, and
examined as follows:
Q. "You are desired to acquaint this Board, whether
the State of His Majesty's Health is such, as to render
Him incapable of coming in Person to His Parliament,
or of attending to any Kind of Public Business?"
A. "Undoubtedly the State of His Majesty's Health
is such."
Q. "What are the Hopes you entertain of His Majesty's Recovery?"
A. "There is a Probability of His Majesty's Recovery."
Q. "Does Sir Lucas Pepys found the Opinion given
in his Answer to the preceding Question upon the particular Symptoms of His Majesty's Disorder, or upon
general Experience in other Cases of the same Nature,
or upon both?"
A. "I do not found my Opinion of the Probability of
His Majesty's Recovery on any particular Symptom or
Circumstance peculiar to the Case of His Majesty,
but on the general Consideration that the Majority of
those who are afflicted with Symptoms of a similar
Disorder do recover."
Q. "Can you form any Judgement or probable Conjecture of the Duration of His Majesty's Illness?"
A. "It will be impossible to form any Opinion upon
that."
Q. "What Degree of Experience has Sir Lucas
Pepys had himself, or does he know others to have
had of this particular Species of Disorder?"
A. "I have occasionally attended Patients, who have
had a similar Disorder, but more frequently with those
Physicians who have made it their particular Practice
to attend such Patients."
"Dr. Henry Revell Reynolds called in and sworn, and
examined as follows:
Q. "You are desired to acquaint this Board, whether
the State of His Majesty's Health is such, as to render
Him incapable of coming in Person to His Parliament,
or of attending to any Kind of Public Business?"
A. "I think the State of His Majesty at present is
such, as will prevent Him from doing that."
Q. "What are the Hopes you entertain of His Majesty's Recovery?"
A. "I think that the Probability is in favour of His
Majesty's Recovery."
Q. "Does Dr. Reynolds found the Opinion given in
his Answer to the preceding Question upon the particular Symptoms of His Majesty's Disorder, or upon
general Experience in other Cases of the same Nature,
or upon both?"
A. "Upon general Experience, upon my own Experience, and upon the Experience of Gentlemen
older in the Profession than myself, with whom I have
conversed upon such Subjects."
Q. "Can Dr. Reynolds form any Judgement or probable Conjecture of the Duration of His Majesty's
Illness?"
A. "No, I cannot, it may be some Weeks, it may
be some Months, but it is impossible to ascertain the
Time."
Q. "What Degree of Experience has Dr. Reynolds
had himself, or does he know others to have had in
this particular Species of Disorder?"
A. "I have been very near Twenty Years in the Practice of my Profession; I have seen several Persons afflicted with the Malady with which His Majesty
is afflicted, both singly and in Consultation with Gentlemen who have dedicated themselves to that particular Branch."
"Dr. Anthony Addington called in, and sworn and
examined as follows:
Q. "You are desired to acquaint this Board whether
the State of His Majesty's Health is such as to render
Him incapable of coming in Person to His Parliament,
or of attending to any Kind of Public Business?"
A. "Most certainly it is."
Q. "What are the Hopes you entertain of His Majesty's Recovery?"
A. The same Hopes that I should have of any other
Patient in whose Family this Disease is not Hereditary.
His Majesty has no Symptom whatever that I know of,
but what I have seen in other Patients who have
recovered."
Q. "Can you form any Judgement or probable Conjecture of the Duration of His Majesty's Illness?"
A. "I protest I cannot, with any Kind of Certainty."
Q. "Whether, so far as Experience enables Dr. Addington to judge of His Majesty's Disorder, he thinks
it more probable that His Majesty will or will not
recover, so as to render Him capable of attending to
Public Business?"
A. "I should think it more probable that His Majesty
will recover, so as to be in Health to enable Him to
attend to Public Business, by which I mean in as good
Health as He was before He had the Misfortune to
labour under His present Illness."
Q. "What Degree of Experience has Dr. Addington
had himself, or does he know others to have had, of
this particular Species of Disorder?"
A. "It is impossible to be a Physician for any Length
of Time without being concerned with Patients
afflicted with this Disorder. They were so common
in the Neighbourhood of Reading that I built an
House contiguous to my own Dwelling House for the
Reception of such unfortunate Patients. In this
House I had constantly Patients, attended by myself
every Day, unless I was ill, for Five Years. The
House usually contained Eight or Ten such Patients.
Of those I believe I never saw an Instance of any (who
was not reasonably deemed to be an Incurable before
he or she were brought to my House) but what recovered within the Year, and many in much less Time.
I never saw but Two Patients of my own confined
longer than one Year. Perhaps it may be material to
say, that several of these Patients had been afflicted
for Two or Three Years before they came into my
House."
"A true Copy.
Steph. Cottrell."
Ordered, That the said Report do lie on the Table.
Ordered, That the said Report be taken into Consideration on Monday next; and that the Lords be summoned.
