Ly. Delawarr versus Tanton, Privilege.
This Day Thomas Tanton, at whose Suit the Lady
Delawarr was prosecuted at Law, was brought to the
Bar, who, being charged with the said Offence, answered
to this Effect:
"He confessed that the Lady Delawarr owed him
Money for Work, which he could not get; for Recovery of which Debt, one Walcot Brisco, an Attorney
at Law, undertook the whole Business, for which he
was to have Six Pounds; but denied that he knew the
said Lady had Privilege of Parliament; which if he
had known, he would rather have lost his Debt than
have incurred the Danger thereby."
Princhard and Wilson, the Bailiffs, to remain in Custody.
Then William Princhard and Henry Wilson, Two of
the Bailiffs that were ordered to be attached upon the
Complaint of the Lady Delawarr, were brought to the
Bar, as Delinquents, and, charged with their Offences,
answered to this Effect: Princhard confessed, "He was
employed by Walcot Brisco, an Attorney at Law, to
attach the Person of the Lady Delawarr, upon a Capias Utlagatum, at the Suit of Thomas Tanton; but
when he understood she had Privilege of Parliament,
he refused to do it; whereupon Brisco told him, if
he would not do it, he would sue the Sheriff, by which
Means he was forced to endeavour to execute the said
Writ."
Henry Wilson pleaded, "That he was but an Assistant
to the Sheriff's Bailiffs, and was employed by Brisco
the Attorney."
After this, Lucius Guilliams and Jane Basset were
produced upon Oath; who testified, "That the said
William Princhard and Henry Wilson, with divers other
Persons, forcibly entered the House of the Lady Delawarr, with drawn Swords and other Weapons, and
said, They would have the said Lady, dead or alive;
and when the said Princhard and Wilson were told
that her Ladyship had Privilege of Parliament, yet
they proceeded to break open Doors, and inventoried
the Goods of the said Lady."
Upon this, it is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal in Parliament assembled, That whereas William Princhard Bailiff and Henry Wilson his Assistant
were this Day brought to the Bar, by the Serjeant at
Arms attending this House, for a Breach of Privilege
of Peerage and Privilege of Parliament, in forcibly entering the House of the Lady Dowager Delawarr, and
breaking open Doors, and inventorying her Goods, and
uttering vilifying Language against her, after they were
forewarned that the Lady Delawarr had Privilege of
Peerage and Privilege of Parliament; all which hath been
proved against them upon Oath at the Bar of this House:
It is ORDERED, That the said William Princhard and
Henry Wilson shall remain in the Custody of the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod attending this House, until
the Pleasure of this House be further signified; and this
shall be a sufficient Warrant on that Behalf.
L. Fitzwilliams versus Humberston, in Error.
Whereas His Majesty's Writ of Error, returnable

Answer of Thomas Dove, Executor to John Dove, deceased, put in thereunto, was appointed to be further
heard on Thursday last, at the Bar of this House, by
Counsel on both Sides, upon the same Proofs and Evidence which were taken in the said Cause in the Court
of Chancery upon which the First Decree mentioned in
the said Petition and Appeal was grounded:
It is this Day ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and

and carried him him Twenty-four Miles towards the

the Privilege of Parliament:"
It is thereupon ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Serjeant at Arms attending this House, or his Deputy,

Violation of the Privilege of Parliament, sued and
proceeded to Trial with Thomas Lord and Joseph Lord

where Oath was made that the Lord Byron's Title
was therein concerned, and his Privilege was pleaded,
but would not be submitted to by Sir William Juxon,
who obtained Judgement, by reason that no Defence
was made; and further, that Francis Coles and Thomas Buckley have actually collected the said Tithes, by
Sir William Juxon's Order; and that the said Coles
affirmed, "That if it were a Breach of Privilege, he
would answer it;" and moreover, that Abraham Scofield,
