Protest against a Clause in it, appointing Commissioners for forfelted Estates in Ireland.
"Dissentientibus:
"Because of the Clause at the latter End of the
Bill, which constitutes Commissioners for inquiring
into, and taking an Account of, all such Estates, Real
and Personal, within the Kingdom of Ireland, as have
been forfeited for High Treason, by any Persons
whatsoever, during the late Rebellion within that
Kingdom; which, we conceive, was a Matter foreign
to this Bill, and more proper for a Bill by itself; and
that the tacking of a Clause of that Nature is contrary to the ancient Method of Proceedings in Parliament; and on that Account, as we apprehend,
may be of very ill Consequence to the Freedom of
Debate in either House, and highly prejudicial to
the Privileges of the Peers, and the Prerogative of
the Crown.
