PRAYERS.
L. Haversham to be acquitted, if his Charge is not prosecuted by the Commons before the End of the Session.
The House being moved, "To consider what is fit to
be done, in relation to the Charge of the House of
Commons against John Lord Haversham:"
And after due Consideration thereof; and the Lord
Haversham desiring to be prosecuted; it was proposed
as follows:
"That the Answer of John Lord Haversham, to the
Charge sent up against him by the House of Commons, having been sent down to that House; it is
Resolved, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled, That, unless the said Charge
shall be prosecuted against the said Lord Haversham,
with Effect, by the Commons, before the End of this
Session of Parliament, the Lords will declare and
adjudge him wholly innocent of the said Charge."
Then this Question was put, "Whether this Resolution shall be agreed to?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Protest against it.
"Dissentient.
1. Because, the Justice of our Judgement of acquitting the Lord Sommers depending on our Right to
name a peremptory Day, I do conceive that, by this
Vote, that Right is violated; the Commons being by
it allowed to declare when they are ready to prosecute, before any Day is by us named.
2. Because, having thought sit to name a Day for
the Impeachment of the Lord Sommers; to be consistent to ourselves, we ought to pursue the same Methods: Nor does this being a Charge only alter the
Case; for what is done in Matters of greater Moment, may safely be pursued in Cases of less Concern.
3. Because to me there does not seem any Need of
farther Prosecution on the Commons Part in this
Matter; the Fact and the Nature of it being both
fully before us.
"North & Grey."
