Lee, alias Warner, Bill.
Hodie 1a
vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act to
enable Warner Lee, alias Warner Warner, to make a
Jointure upon his Marriage."
Pretended Prince of Wales, Bill of Attainder, Report of Lords Reasons for Amendments to it.
The Earl of Stamford reported from the Lords Committees appointed to inspect the Journals, and draw
Reasons for the Lords insisting on their Amendments to
the Bill, intituled, "An Act for the Attainder of the
pretended Prince of Wales, of High Treason;" the
Reasons following.
Which were read entire; (videlicet,)
"The Lords insist on their Amendments made to the
Bill, intituled, An Act for the Attainder of the
pretended Prince of Wales of High Treason:
"1st, Because nothing can be more agreeable to the
Reason and Design of the Bill itself; it being notoriously known, that the pretended Prince of Wales
has been bred up in the Romish Superstition, and encouraged to all Acts tending either to the bringing
the French Government into this Kingdom, or the
dethroning His present Majesty; as well by the Influence of his pretended Mother, as of the French King.
"2dly, Because there is as much Danger to be feared
from the Practices of Mary Wife to the late King
James, as from any Thing this pretended Prince can
attempt.
"3dly, Because, in a Bill of the like Nature, begun
in the House of Lords (31° Hen. VIIIvi.) to attaint the
Marquis of Exeter, with others, the Commons added
a Clause to attaint several Persons not named in that
Bill by the Lords; to which the Lords agreed; and
the Bill was passed with that Amendment.
"4thly, Because, in the present Case, no Length of
Time can give the Lords more Satisfaction of the
Reasonableness of such an Attainder."
Then the First Paragraph was read, and agreed to by
the House.
Then the Second Paragraph was read, and agreed to
by the House.
Then the Third Paragraph was read.
Report recommitted.
It being moved, "To re-commit the said Reasons;
and after Debate thereupon:
The Question was proposed, "Whether the whole
Report shall be re-committed?"
Then the previous Question was put, Whether
"this Question shall be now put?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Then the main Question was put, Whether the
"whole Report shall be re-committed?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled, That the whole Report made this
Day shall be re-committed to the same Committee as
before; and to meet on Monday next, at Ten a Clock in
the Forenoon.
Adjourn.
