PRAYERS.
The Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas satSpeaker.
Sir Charles Heron's Bill.
The Earl of Bridgewater reported from the Committee, the Bill, intituled, "An Act to enable Sir
Charles Heron Baronet to sell Lands, for Payment
of a Portion and Debts," as sit to pass, with some
Amendments.
Which, being read Twice, were agreed to; and the
Bill ordered to be engrossed.
Rider's and Clitherow's Bill.
The Earl of Bridgewater also reported from the
Committee, the Bill, intituled, "An Act to confirm
and establish an Exchange, made between Thomas
Rider Esquire and Christopher Clitherow Esquire, of
certain Messuages in London, for the Manors of Bilsington, and other Lands in Kent, of the like Value,"
as fit to pass, without any Amendment.
ORDERED, That the said Bill shall be engrossed.
Sir Richard Verney to have a Writ of Summons, by the Title of L. Willoughby de Broke:
Counsel being this Day heard, at the Bar, upon the
Petition of Sir Richard Verney Knight; praying, "That
he may have a Writ of Summons to Parliament;" as
also His Majesty's Learned Counsel, to offer any
Matter on His Majesty's Behalf against the Petitioner:
The Counsel being withdrawn;
The Question was put, "Whether the House shall
now go on?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Then, after Consideration of what was offered upon
the said Petition and Debate,
This Question was put, "That, by what hath been
made appear to this House, the Petitioner Sir
Richard Verney hath a Right to a Writ of
Summons to Parliament, by the Name and
Title of Willughby de Broke?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Protest against that Resolution.
To which the Lords whose Names are underwritten
do dissent, for the Reasons following; (videlicet,)
"1. Because it is apparent, by the ancient Journals
of the Lords House, that Sir Robert Willoughby the
Petitioner's Ancestor, and his Son and Grandson, sat
in the House by the Name of Lords Broke, and never
by Lord Willoughby de Broke.
"2. We conceive, no Lord whose Ancestors were
called to the Lords House by Writ of Summons, can
claim a Writ, by Descent from those Ancestors, to sit
in the House by any other Name than those Ancestors
sat by.
"3. The House having in the last Parliament adjudged, that the Petitioner had no Right to a Writ
of Summons to Parliament, when he petitioned to
be summoned as Lord Broke; we conceive he can
sit by no Title at all.
"Somerset.
Stamford.
J. Bridgewater.
Bradford.
Culpeper."
After hearing Counsel this Day, at the Bar, upon the
Petition of Sir Richard Verney Knight; praying a Writ

against the Petitioner; and due Consideration of what
was offered thereupon:
It is this Day Resolved, upon the Question, by the
Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled,
That, by what hath been made appear to this House, the
Petitioner Sir Richard Verney hath a Right to a Writ
of Summons to Parliament, by the Name and Title of
