Sir Rich. Verney s Petition, for a Writ of Summons, considered:
Then the House took into Consideration the Petition
of Sir Richard Verney Knight, presented to His Majesty, praying a Writ of Summons to Parliament; and
His Majesty's Reference thereupon to this House.
And, after some Time spent in Debate,
To be heard by Counsel:
This Question was put, "Whether the Petitioner
Sir Richard Verney shall be heard, at the Bar,
by his Counsel, upon this Petition?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Protest against it:
"Leave having been asked, and given, to any Lords
to protest, if the Question should be carried in the
Affirmative: We, whose Names are underwritten,
do protest, for the Reasons following; (videlicet,)
"Dissentient:
"1. Because, as it seems to us, the Petitioner's Case
has been already heard and adjudged in this House,
upon his former Petition; whereby he claimed to have
a Writ of Summons to Parliament from the same
Ancestor, by the same Pedigree, and under the same
Writ of Summons, by which he makes his Claim in
this Petition.
"2. Because the Judgement given by this House
upon Sir Richard Verney's former Petition was not,
that he had no Right to a Writ of Summons by the
Name of Lord Broke; but generally, that he had no
Right to a Writ of Summons upon his Case as stated
in his Petition.
"3. Because, we conceive, it may tend infinitely to
prejudice the Judicature of this House, and to weaken the Security that all Subjects have by the Judgements of this great Court, if the Lords shall permit
Judgements once given in so solemn a Manner to be
reviewed.
