Crimes and Misdemeanors; and having also, on the
Fifteenth Day of the same Month, impeached
Charles Lord Halifax for high Crimes and Misdemeanors; and there being as yet no particular Articles exhibited against the said Lords; their Lordships think themselves obliged to put them in Mind
thereof, which, after Impeachments have so long
