Lady North and Grey's Nat. Bill.
Hodie 3a
vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act for
naturalizing Maria Margaret Lady North & Grey."
The Question was put, "Whether this Bill shall
pass?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Message to H. C. with it.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Sir Robert Legard and Sir Richard Holford:
To carry down the said Bill, and desire their Concurrence thereunto:
Answer to the Address about continuing the D. of Marlborough's Titles, &c:
The Duke of Bolton reported Her Majesty's Answer
to the Address of this House, presented to Her Majesty
Yesterday, relating to the Duke of Marlborough's Titles
and Honours, signed by Her Majesty's own Hand; (videlicet,)
"ANNE R.
"Nothing can be more acceptable to Me, than Your
Address. I am entirely satisfied with the Services of
the Duke of Marlborough; and therefore cannot but
be pleased you have so just a Sense of them.
"I must not omit to take Notice, that the respectful
Manner of your Proceeding, in desiring My Allowance for bringing in the Bill, and My Direction
for the Limitation of the Honours, does give Me great
Satisfaction.
"My Intention is, That, after the Determination of
the Estate which the Duke of Marlborough now has
in his Titles and Honours, the same should be limited to his Eldest Daughter and the Heirs Male of
her Body; and then to all his other Daughters successively, according to their Priority of Birth, and the
Heirs Male of their respective Bodies; and afterwards
in such Manner as may most effectually answer My
Design and yours, in perpetuating the Memory of his
Merit, by continuing, as far as may be done, his
Titles and Name to all Posterity.
"I think it would be proper that the Honour and
Manor of Woodstock, and the House of Bleinheim should
always go along with the Titles; and therefore I recommend that Matter to your Consideration."
D. of Marlborough's Thanks to the House:
Then the Duke of Marlborough, on this Occasion,
was pleased to say as followeth:
"My Lords,
"I cannot find Words sufficient to express the Sense
I have of the great and distinguishing Honour which
the House has been pleased to do me, in their Resolution, and their Application to Her Majesty. The
Thoughts of it will be a continual Satisfaction to me,
and the highest Encouragement; and the thankful
Memory of it must last as long as any Posterity of
mine.
"I beg leave to say a Word to the House, in relation to that Part of Her Majesty's Gracious Answer
which concerns the Estate of Woodstock, and the House
of Blcinheim. I did make my humble Request to the
Queen, that those might go along with the Titles; and
I make the like Request to your Lordships, that, after
the Dutchess of Marlborough's Death (upon whom
they are settled in Jointure), that Estate and House
may be limited to go always along with the Honour."
Address, &c. to be printed:
It is Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Lord Keeper of
the Great Seal of England do give Order, that the
Address of this House, in relation to the Settlement
of the Titles and Honours of his Grace the Duke of
Marlborough, and Her Majesty's Pleasure, signified by
Her most Gracious Answer to the said Address, and
what was said by his Grace the Duke of Marlborough
on that Occasion, be forthwith printed and published.
Judges to bring in a Bill, for settling the D. of Marlborough's Honours, &c.
It is Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Lord Chief Justice
of Her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench, the Lord Chief
Justice of Her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas, and
the Lord Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer, do
forthwith prepare, and bring in, a Bill, pursuant to Her
Majesty's Pleasure, signified in Her Answer to the Address of this House, and the Consent of the Duke of
Marlborough declared in his Place, to the settling the
Estate of Woodstock, and House of Bleinheim, as Her
Majesty is pleased to think proper.
Judges to bring in a Bill for the Ease of Sheriffs.
It is Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Lord Chief Baron and the rest of the Barons of the Court of Exchequer do forthwith prepare, and bring in, a Bill for the
better Ease of Sheriffs, in passing their Accompts; and
