touching the Answer thereunto, Report was made unto
the House, by the Earl of Bridgewater, one of the
Lords Committees for Privileges, &c. That, according
to the Order made Yesterday, his Lordship had perused
many Precedents, for the Manner how the Parties complained of have answered here; and that his Lordship
did not find, by any Precedent which his Lordship hath
seen, that any (though a Member of this House) did
answer by his Counsel; and that divers Members of
this House and others have answered in Person, without
Counsel; and that Counsel was denied unto Michael de
la Pole, Lord Chancellor, Anno 10° Ricardi Secundi,
when he required the same.
The Earl of Devon, the Lord Bishop of Bangor, the
Lord Noel, and the Lord Grey of Werke, are added to
the Committees on the Bill concerning Ralphe Starkey;
