The Earl of Warwicke reported to the House, That

His Lordship reported also, That one Lionel Farrington had exhibited a Petition, touching Privilege of Parliament claimed by one Androwes, in a Suit commenced

their Lordships did humbly leave to the House.
Hereupon, first the said Orders against the Pages, etc.

henceforth receive any Pawns, for Satisfaction of
any Money spent or gathered in or for any such

"That the Tavern now kept by George Whittchaire,
near the Back Stairs going up to the Higher House
of Parliament, shall be suppressed, and no more
kept as a Tavern during any Session of Parliament;
and that from henceforth no other Tavern be erected
or permitted in that Court."
And the House approved the said Orders.

The said George Whitchaire being brought to the
Bar, at first pleading Ignorance of the said Order made

Then the Petition of Lionel Farrington was read, in
hæc verba: videlicet,
"To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal, in the High Court of Parliament assembled.
Farrington's Petition, touching Privilege to Popish Recusants.
"The humble Petition of Lionel Farrington, Gentleman, Sheweth, That your Petitioner doth sue one
William Androwes, Gentleman, a Popish Recusant, tam
pro Domino Rege quam pro seipso, for Two Hundred
and Twenty Pounds, in the Court of Common Pleas,
upon the Statute of 23° Eliz. for Popish Recusancy;
and upon the Statute of 3° Jacobi, for Twelve Hundred Pounds, for practising the Common Law as a
Common Solicitor, being a Convicted Popish Recusant.
"The said Androwes, in Contempt of the Court,
would not appear; whereupon your Petitioner caused
him to be arrested, upon an Attachment, at the
Suit of His Majesty, upon the 18th Day of this Instant June; and, being arrested, he shewed forth a
Protection, dated 9 Maii last, subscribed by the
Right Honourable the Lord Evre; whereupon your
Petitioner, in Obedience to this Honourable Court of
Parliament, caused the Serjeants to set him at Liberty.
"He humbly craveth your Honours would be pleased
to give Direction, whether your Petitioner may proceed against the said Androwes upon the said Suits and
Arrests (he being a Convicted Recusant), notwithstanding his Protection."
The which Petition being read, after serious Debate
of the Privilege of Parliament;
Privilege not to extend to Recusants.
Androwes to be proceeded against, notwithstanding his Privilege.
It is Ordered, and Declared, That none are to be

Message sent from the Commons, by Sir Edward
Cooke and others:
Message from the King, concerning the General Fast.
That they have received a pious Message from the
King, concerning a Public and General Fast. For the
Public, if it could be so soon, the King would have it
on Thursday come Sevennight.
Concerning the Private, for their own House, he left
it to themselves, and their own Way.
They humbly desire a Conference, for appointing a
Time for the Fast of both Houses.
Answered:
Answer.
That the Lords, being now engaged in some Business, will return Answer, by Messengers of their own,
very speedily.
The Reason why no other Answer was given is,
for that this House had not as yet received any Message
from His Majesty, of His Pleasure touching the said
Fast; which their Lordships expected to receive first
from the King Himself, considering that the Petition
was offered as well from themselves as from the
Commons.
The Earl of Warwicke also reported to the House an
Order conceived by the said Lords Sub-committees,
touching those that shall be absent from the House,
without Leave or lawful Excuse; which was read, in
hæc verba: videlicet,
Order concerning the absent Lords.
"If any Lord of Parliament shall be absent from
the House, and shall not, by some other Lord, make
such an Excuse for his Absence as the House shall allow of, he shall pay to the Poor Man's Box Five Shillings for every such Absence. If any Lord of Parliament, that hath a Proxy, be absent as aforesaid, he
shall pay for every Proxy Five Shillings."
The which Order, being Twice read, was generally
approved and assented unto, as touching those that
shall be absent, to begin after Monday next. Yet it
(fn. *) was put to the Question, whether, by this Order, the
Bishops and Barons shall pay equal with the Earls or no;
and Agreed unto per plures, to pay equal with the Earls;
and so the said Order was fully concluded.
Browne, King's Servant's Privilege.
Robert Browne, His Majesty's Servant, was brought
to the House, by a Habeas corpus, etc. (according to the
Order of the 25th of this June); and it appearing to
their Lordships, that he was arrested, and detained in
Prison, contrary to the Privilege of Parliament, he was
set at Liberty, and the Sheriffs of London discharged for
the same; and Hugh Povey, the Serjeant's Yeoman who
arrested him, and Henry Shawe, at whose Suit he was
arrested, were committed to The Fleet, for their wilful
Breach of the Privileges of Parliament.
Earl of Sussex's Privilege Markham's Arrest.
Samuel Markham, Servant to the Right Honourable
the Earl of Sussex, was also brought before their Lordships, by Habeas corpus, etc. according to an Order of
the said 25th of this June; and the Writ and Return
being read, and it appearing to their Lordships that he
was arrested and detained contrary to the said Privileges, he the said Samuell was set at Liberty; and
the Marshal of The King's Bench (whose Prisoner he
was) discharged for the same; saving to his Creditors
their several Actions against him hereafter.
Message from the King, concerning the General Fast.
The Lord Conway signified to the Lords, That he
had been commanded by the King to deliver unto the
House His Majesty's Pleasure concerning the Fast;
acknowledging his Error that he had not delivered it
sooner unto them; which was occasioned by Businesses
with the Ambassadors from The States, who detained him longer than he expected.
And his Lordship delivered the King's Pleasure to
their Lordships, to the same Effect as it was delivered to
the Commons. Wereupon a Message was sent to the
Commons, by
Mr. Attorney General and
Mr. Serjeant Davenporte:
Message for Conference to appoint a Day for the Fast.
That the Lords have received His Majesty's Pleasure touching the Petition for a General Fast; and
therefore have appointed the Conference by them desired to be presently, in the Painted Chamber, with
the former Committee that delivered the said Petition.
Answered:
Answer.
That they have appointed their former Committee,
to meet their Lordships presently.
Report from the Conference.
The Lords being returned from the Conference, the
Lord Treasurer reported, That the Commons did refer
the Time and Place for the Fast of both Houses unto
their Lordships: That they had made Choice of Four
Preachers, when they had appointed a Private Fast for
themselves; and had Ordered, That every Member of
their House should be present. And intimated their
Desire, that the Private Fast of both Houses may precede the General Fast.
The Report ended, their Lordships Agreed, to defer
their Answer until the Afternoon, for that the Day was
far spent.
Notice thereof was given to the Commons accordingly.
