PRAYERS.
Method of naming Committees.
The Lord Privy Seal reported, "That the Lords
Committees for Privileges, to whom was referred to
examine what hath been the ancient Way of naming
Committees upon Occasion either of Bills, or any
other Matter, committed by the House to the Consideration of particular Lords, have ordered to report:"
"That they find the Proportions of Committees
very different in Number; but, in regard that the
Earls Bench and Barons Bench are much increased,
and are near equal in Number, but the Bishops Bench
continuing the same; they are humbly of Opinion,
That there be Two of each of the other Benches
named for every One that is named of the Bishops
Bench; and, for regular naming thereof, that the
Committee of the Earls Bench be first named, then
the Bishops, then the Barons, according to the Numbers that shall be agreed for every Bench, and that
no Lord be named of a Committee, but by some
Lord standing up uncovered."
This Report was read, and agreed to; and ordered
accordingly.
Methods of Trial of the impreached Lords.
Upon reading the Report made from the Lords
Committees for Privileges, concerning the Methods of
Proceedings to be observed at the Trials of the Lords
in The Tower:
It is ORDERED, That the Lords Committees for Perusal of the Journal Book be, and are hereby, appointed to make an Abstract of so much thereof as is
necessary to be communicated to the House of Commons; the rest to be for the Use of the Lord Chancellor; and to report to this House To-morrow Morning.
