PRAYERS.
Sir J. Hanham's Bill.
The Lord Lawarr reported from the Committee appointed to consider of the Bill, intituled, "An Act for
vesting the Manor of Holme, alias East Holme, and
other Lands of Sir John Hanham Baronet, in the
County of Dorset, in Trustees, to be fold, for difcharging a Mortgage thereupon, and Payment of his
other Debts:"
"That, upon Re-commitment of the Bill, they have
(fn. *) consulted the Lord Chief Justice, as to the Debts
contracted by Sir John Hanham; and are satisfied
that the Bill pass, with the Amendments made by the
Committee."
Which Amendments, being read Twice, were agreed
to, with an Amendment; and the Bill ordered to be
engrossed.
Representation to the King, concerning the Earl of Monmouth:
The Earl of Rochester reported from the Committee
appointed to draw what shall be presented to His Majesty, touching the Resolutions of this House, and the
Commitment of Charles Earl of Monmouth, in relation
to the Papers delivered by the Lady Mary Fenwick, and
the Examinations taken in this House concerning the
same, the Representation following; (videlicet,)
"We, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, humbly represent to Your Majesty;
That, while the Bill for the Attainder of Sir John
Fenwick was depending before us, we were informed,
that several Papers, containing Instructions to the
said Sir John Fenwick how to manage his Defence
in Parliament, had been transmitted, from the Earl of
Monmouth, to the Lady Mary Fenwick; and did therefore think it our Duty to make a strict Inquiry into
this Matter: And having received several Papers from
the said Lady Mary Fenwick, and spent a considerable
Time in taking several Examinations and Depositions
in relation to the same; wherein, amongst other
Things, there were sworn against the said Earl of
Monmouth some undutiful Expressions of Your Majesty; we proceeded to make the Two following
Resolutions; (videlicet,)
"Resolved, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That those Three
Papers, which were delivered into this House
by the Lady Mary Fenwick, do contain in
them Matter of a scandalous Nature; and
that the Contrivance of them is a high Crime
and Misdemeanor.
"Resolved, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal
in Parliament assembled, That it doth appear
to this House, by the Depositions taken in
this House, That Charles Earl of Monmouth
has had such a Share and Part in the Contrivance of the Papers delivered into this
House by the Lady Mary Fenwick, that, for
that Offence, and for the undutiful Words
which were sworn before this House to be
spoken by him of the King, the said Charles
Earl of Monmouth shall be, and is hereby,
committed Prisoner to His Majesty's Tower of
London, there to remain during His Majesty's
Pleasure, and the Pleasure of this House.
"And for that the said Earl has the Honour to hold
several Employments of great Honour and Trust
near Your Majesty's Royal Person, and in Your
Government; we conceive it a Duty incumbent upon
us, to acquaint Your Majesty with our Proceedings
in this Matter."
To which the House agreed.
ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled, That the Lords with White Staves
do attend His Majesty, from this House, with the Representation relating to the Commitment of the Earl of
Monmouth.
Proceedings to be entered in the Journal.
It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That all the Papers
delivered, and Examinations taken in this House,
touching any Instructions given to Sir John Fenwick
how to behave himself at his Trial, and relating to
the Earl of Monmouth's Commitment to The Tower, shall
be entered in the Journal of this House.
Committee to consider of Smith's Letters.
Lords Committees appointed to read the Letters
and Papers delivered into this House by Mr.
Mathew Smith; and have Power to send for
him, or any other Person; and report to the
House.
