is the certain and undoubted Right of this House to
choose their Speaker; and the Speaker is not to depart, when this House sits, without Leave of this

shall and may, from Time to Time, at any Time during

such Person to be Speaker for the said Peers as they
shall think fit."

of Opinion, That, if the Lords in Parliament had not
a Power and Right to choose their own Speaker, the
Lord Chancellor, or any other Speaker, may, if
they will, absent themselves voluntarily; the House
thereupon should be disenabled to sit.
"Upon these Considerations, their Lordships reported it as the Opinion of the Lords Committees,
That the Lords assembled in Parliament of Right are
to choose their own Speaker."

the Lord Craven, or any Proof of that which is pretended to be the Offence, and without Trial by his
Peers (which is contrary to the fundamental Laws of
this Kingdom):"
It is therefore ORDERED, by the Lords in Parliament assembled, That the said Votes concerning the
seizing and selling the said Estate, and all Proceedings
thereupon, be, and are hereby declared to be, null and
void; and that the Lord Craven be, and is hereby, restored to the Possession of his Estate, both Real and Personal, in whose Hands soever the same is, together with
