assigned for him have alleaged That the Order of Parliament is void by reason as they say the Parliament is dissolved My Lord Parliaments cannot be dissolved the Parliament or the same power is in being now And Parliaments were to be once a year as by the Statute of the 4 of Ed. 3. at which time he may be relieved In the North parts the Assizes can be held but once ayear But grant that the meaning of the Parliament was to deliver him themselves and not that they meant the Parliament to be on the 3 of September 1654. yet for that they ordered that he should not be delivered but by Order of Parliament I conceive he can be delivered no otherwise then by an Order of Parliament nor by any other but a Parliament Possibly when that the Parliament consisted of King Lords and Commons an Order of one or two Houses without a threefold consent had not been binding but now the power that was in the Lords and King are joyned in the Commons and therefore is of greater force And it is not material whether they shew cause or not there may be good cause And it cannot be presumed that the Parliament would commit a man and have no cause at all for so doing But without question a Parliament may commit men and shew no cause But suppose his Commitment be in order to a Tryal in Parliament will this Court take upon them to judge in the cause or can they by Habeas Corpus bring the body of the prisoner and the cause before them out of Parliament The Lord of Strafford was tryed in Parliament I believe this Court would not in such a Case remove the Tryal before them nor indeed can they Upon the Return it appeareth he is committed by Order of Parliament and to be delivered by Order of Parliament if they had intended he should have been delivered otherwise they would have either said nothing or have Ordered his delivery according to Law When Kings die it is true that Commissions do cease but when Parliaments do dissolve their Acts do not cease Besides a Parliament is the Supreme Court and they do constitute other Courts and therefore it is not for other Courts to question the proceedings of a Parliament It will not be expected of me to shew that the Parliament had sufficient matter or cause of imprisonment To this the Judges answered No no if he had any thing more to speak to the Order of Parliament that was it that was to be spoken unto Mr. Attor My Lord this Gentleman might make his application for his liberty to the present Authority elsewhere and I doubt not but it would be granted him for now Parliamentary authority is in one person My Lord I doubt not but the Court will be cautious in medling in this case but it will rather remand him to prison first for that it may be that the proceedings against him are not yet ripe it may be yet under examination Secondly for that this is the first president of the like nature and it being of so great and high concernment After a little space of time Mr. Atturney cometh into the Court. Lord chief Justice Rolle Mr. Atturney here is Mr. Streater again by Rule of Court he hath been a long time in prison and I see here is nothing come against him that is mate●ial Mr. Serj. Twisden of counsel for the prisoner My Lord we desire that he may be bayled Lord chief Justice Rolle What have you any thing more to say Mr. Atturney Mr. Attur My Lord I thought I should have heard of him but I did not the Court must do justice He is committed by order of Parliament My Lord if you will undo an Order of Parliament he is to be delivered but I hope the Court will not M● Windham The Order of Parliament is undone by the Parliaments being dissolved Mr. Attur Commissioners of Sewers are granted by Parliament and they do continue after the Parliament is dissolved Iayl-delivery is but once a year in the North parts and I suppose the next Parliament wil be sitting before he hath been a year in prison at which time he may be tryed or delivered And although this be called an Order of Parliament yet it was acted by Parliament Lord chief Iustice Rolle But all that the Parliament acteth are not Acts of Parliament The first part of the Return is too general it mentioneth norwhat Books nor whose Books or where they were or when published The second part of the Return is grounded upon an Order of Parliament we are to take notice when a Parliament sitteth and also when it is dissolved or when it endeth or determineth Discontinuance is a determination A Writ of Error many times is made Returnable in the next Parliament but that lyeth after Tryal at Law The word Order is a proper phrase to that which is not an Act. An Order of Parliament is not binding in Succession How shall the next Parliament take notice of a former Parliaments Order Committees that are appointed by Order of Parliament do cease upon the dissolving of the Parliament I have been of the Parliament I ever found Parliaments of the same Opinion We must look to the first Imprisonment and no farther if you had Returned other Cause we should have taken notice of it We do not reverse the Order of Parliament that is reversed by the Parliaments being dissolved and it being dissolved there is no visible way how the prisoner shall be relieved though there may be a probable way Iudg Ask. I am of the same Opinion and that it could not be that the Order of Parliament by saying he should not be delivered but by Order of Parliament but that they meant by the same Parliament and not by a Successive Parliament If it should be taken to be by Order of the next Parliament where shall be the Liberty of the Subjects or how they shall be relieved in long interval of parliaments as in the Reign of K. Iames and the Reign of King Charls we had not parliaments in many years together although it be so that the parliament by the Statute of the 4. of Ed. 3. should be once a year or oftner if need be besides here is no Succession of parliament but a Dissolution Another parliament must be another Session and therefore an Order cannot be in force until another Session If they had made an Act of parliament or passed a judgment of parliament it had been another Case Upon the consideration of the whole matter the Iudges opinion was that the prisoner ought to be discharged and this Rule entred Saturday next after 8 days of the Purif 1653. The Lord Protector against Io. Streater Gent. The Defendant was brought into Court by the Marshal upon Habeas Corpus and by the Court discharged of his imprisonment by the motion of Mr. Serjeant Twisden By the Court.
