PRAYERS.
Legg's Nat. Bill, Reasons for the Lords insisting on their Amendments to it:
The Earl of Rochester reported from the Lords Committees, the Reasons to be offered at a Conference with
the House of Commons, for their Lordships insisting
on their Amendments made to the Bill, intituled, "An
Act to naturalize Richard Legg and others."
Which, being read, and agreed to, are as follow;
(videlicet,)
The Lords do acknowledge, that the Commons had
good Reason to be apprehensive of the Addition of
so many Names by Way of Amendment to this Bill,
because that, at the Time it was returned to the
Commons, there was no Opportunity, by the usual
Method of Proceedings between the Two Houses, to
inform them of the Reasons for it: But their Lordships hope, that when, by the Means of this Conference, the Condition, Circumstances, and Merits of
the Persons proposed by the Lords to be added to the
Bill shall appear, that the Commons will be prevailed
with to admit of them, for the same Reasons that
prevailed with their Lordships; and to that End, the
Lords have directed, that the Commons should be acquainted with the several Circumstances of every Person added by their Amendments.
"Their Lordships have as much Consideration as
the Commons can desire of the English Officers and
Soldiers now out of Employment, since the late reducing and disbanding the Army, whom they would
always have preferred before any Foreigners; but
they cannot but hope that, since this Bill was intended
by the Commons for the Benefit of those Foreigners
that were at first put into the Bill, because, as their
Lordships conceive, they had served long and faithfully in the English Troops, that the Commons will,
upon the same Grounds agree to those added by the
Lords Amendments, they being found to be in the
same Circumstances.
"For these Reasons, and on this Account, their Lordships do insist on their Amendments, except only as to
Gerard Van Hesta and George William Kroud, whom
they do agree to leave out of this Bill; because, the
one being a Kettle Drum, and the other a Trumpeter, they are provided for in a Clause sent up by
the Commons to be added to the Bill for naturalizing
Samuel Bernardeau, &c. which is agreed to by the
Lords."
Message to H. C. for a Conference about it.

Sir Robert Legard and Mr. Meredith:
To desire a present Conference, in the Painted Chamber, upon the Subject-matter of the last Conference.

by Mr. Lowther and others:

His Majesty's Three Troops of Guards and Grenadiers;" and to acquaint this House, that they have
agreed to their Lordships Amendment made to their
Amendment.
Bp. of Derry not to be brought till next Session.
It is Agreed, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal
in Parliament assembled, That the Lords with White
Staves do, from this House, humbly acquaint His Majesty, "That, because of the approaching End of this
Session of Parliament, the Lords only desire that the
Bishop of Derry be brought to this House in Custody
at the Beginning of the next Session of Parliament."
