The Earl of Clarendon reported from the Lords
Committees for Privileges, to whom the Consideration
of the Petition of William Tyson Gentleman, Respondent
to the Appeal of William Rutter Senior, William Rutter
Junior, and John Cay, depending in this House; complaining of Counsel's Names being put to the said Appeal without their Knowledge, was referred: "That
there was produced before the said Committee
a Letter, dated 21st April 1716, writ and sent by
the said William Tyson to Edward Copley, One of the
said Counsel, at Woolley Hall, in Yorkshire, to know if
he signed the said Appeal; and his Answer to the
said Letter was likewise produced, declaring, "That
he knew nothing of the Matter."
"Then the Certificate of John Niccoll, of The Inner
Temple, London, Esquire, Barrister at Law, the other
Counsel whose Name is to the said Appeal, was read;
declaring, "he never signed the said Appeal, nor ordered any Person to do it for him; nor knows of any
other Person or Persons whatsoever of his Name, who
are Barristers at Law;" which Certificate was proved
upon Oath, by Joseph Richardson, to be signed by
the said John Niccoll.
"The Committee then, upon Inquiry, being informed, "That James Mynde, the Appellant's Solicitor, who was ordered, by this House, to attend
the said Committee, was not attending;" they examined concerning the Service of the said Order. And
thereupon the said Joseph Richardson acquainted the
Committee, "That he served the said Order on one
Lumley, a Servant to the said Mynde, at his Chambers, and left a Copy of the said Order there; and
afterwards inquired for the said Mynde at several
Places, but could not find him." The Committee
further acquaint your Lordships, That one Drew
attended, and owned himself to be a Clerk to the
said James Mynde, and that the said Order for his
Attendance was left at his Chamber with the said
Lumley, who, he also acknowledged, was the said
Mynde's Servant."
Which Report being read by the Clerk, the following Orders were made:
Mynde to be attached;
"Ordered, That the Gentleman Usher of the
Black Rod attending this House, his Deputy or Deputies, do forthwith attach the Body of the said
James Mynde, and bring him in safe Custody to the
Bar of this House, to answer for his Contempt, in
not obeying the said Order for his Attendance; and
this shall be a sufficient Warrant in that Behalf."
Appellants to attend;
"Ordered, That the aforementioned Appellants
do attend this House on Thursday next, to shew
Cause why their said Appeal should not stand dismissed; and to answer the Complaint in putting
Counsel's Names to the said Appeal, without their
Knowledge."
and Niccoll to attend.
"Ordered, That John Niccoll, of The Inner Temple,
London, Esquire, Barrister at Law, One of the
Counsel whose Name is put to the said Appeal, do
also attend this House on Thursday next."
