her Judges and therefore wondred at the proceedings of the house and concluded that they expected and desired that the house would take it into their further consideration afterwards the house by a special Committee praying their Lordshippes to joine in petition to the Queene about matters of Religion causing the messengers to stay in the painted Chamber after a while sent out unto them the chiefe Justice and others to tell them that when they received an answer from the house touching the Bill of fraudulent conveiances the house should have an answer touching the petition An. 27. Eliz. 10. Mar. Fo. 130. in the Iournall to the Bill against Jesuits which passed from the the Commons house there were some amendments desired to bee made by the Lords the Commons by message desire the Lords to reforme their desired amendments in some points which the Committees for the Lords thought could not bee done by order but the Commons house resolved it might bee well helped by a Proviso in the Commons house and chose rather to take the course then further to urge their Lordships therein Anno 27. Eliz. 13. Mar. The Bill touching the sabbath which upon divers conferences of the houses received divers additions alterations and amendments of amendements and by that meanes was much defaced was sent downe by the Lords and praied by them that it might be new written which was done and so it passed again in both the houses Anno 25. Eliz. 31. Mar. The Bill against popish recusants first passing from the Lords was returned with amendments which the Lords aseented to and sent downe the same againe amended by them accordingly And also a Proviso annexed thereto to bee passed if the house should thinke good which was yeelded to and the Proviso being thrice read was with the Bill passed accordingly 6. Apr. This is a very remarkeable president that a Proviso should be added by them who first passed the Bill and not to have any reference to any alteration or amendment inserted by direction from the other house When amendments are desired by the Lords to a Bill past from the lower house and thrice read the question ought to bee whether the house wil be pleased to admit of those amendments and that being yeelded unto the Bill it selfe ought not againe to be put to the question If it be resolved to allow the amendments the alterations are usually made by the Clarkes servants sitting without the Parliament doore according to the direction in paper annexed to the Bill and the Clarke is trusted with the examination thereof In the fourth session of the first parliament of king James it was conceived by some of the commens house that by reason that Bills which are passed in both houses and oftentimes razed in either house and no mention made anywhere of such razures lawfully made that it might give occasions to persons ill disposed to make razures in Bills past much to the prejudice of the Common wealth it was therefore moved that the L. Chancellor for the upper house who supplies the place of Speaker there and the Speaker in the house of Commons should subscribe their hands to every Bill so razed and that mention should bee made upon the Bill of all the razures therein but this motion was not further prosecuted Sect. 7. Touching the sending of Bills from one house to the other WHEN the Speaker hath in his hands a convenient number of Bills ready passed as five or six or thereabouts hee then putteth the house in minde of sending them up to the Lords and desireth the house to appoint messengers who accordingly do appoint some one principall member of the house for that purpose to whom the Bils are delivered in such order as he ought to present them to the Lords which is done by direction of the Speaker except the house bee pleased to give speciall direction therein The order which hath usually beene observed in ranking of them is first to place them that came originally from the Lords Secondly those that being sent up unto the Lords from the Commons house were sent backe to be amended Thirdly publique Bills originally comming from the Commons house and they to bee marshalled according to their degrees in consequence Lastly are to be placed private Bills in such order as the Speaker pleaseth Many times the house with a purpose specially to grace some one Bill sendeth it alone sometimes with a speciall recommendation thereof The messenger for this purpose is usually attended by thirty or forty of the house as they please and are affected to the businesse In the Parliament Anno 31. Eliz. Mar. A private Bill for the releefe of one Thomas Haselridge being passed the Commons house was sent up only with four or 5. messengers to which the Lords taking exceptions returned the Bill saying they had cause to doubt that it passed not with a generall consent of the house because it passed not graced with a greater number and left it to the consideration of the house to send it backe in such sort as was fit The principall messenger which delivereth the Bills to the Lords comming in the first ranke of his company to the Barre of the Lords house with three congees telleth the Lords that the Knights Citizens and Burgesses of the Commons house have sent unto their Lordships certain Bills and then reading the title of every Bill as it heth in order so delivereth the same in an humble manner unto the Lord Chancellor who of purpose commeth to the Bat to receive them Bills sent from the Lords to the Commons house if they be ordinary Bills are sent down by Sergents at Law or by two Doctors of the civill Law being Masters of the Chancery and being attendants in the upper house accompanied sometimes with the Clarke of the Crowne an attendant there Bills of greater moment are usually sent down by some of the Judges assistants there accompanied with some of the Masters of the Chancery who being admitted entrance doe come up close to the table where the Clarke sitteth making three congies and there acquainting the Speaker that the Lords have sent unto the house certaine Bills doth read the Titles and delivereth the Bills to the Speaker and so againe departeth with three congies when they are out of the house the Speaker holdeth the Bills in his hands and acquainteth the house that the Lords by their Messengers have sent to the house certaine Bills and then reading the Title of every Bill delivereth them to the Clarke to be safely kept and to bee read when they shall be called for Bills originally preferred to the Lords house have such proceeding in that house in all points as Bills preferred to the Commons house have there only when any question is made in the Lords house the triall thereof is by saying content or not content and if that be doubtfull then by telling the Poles without dividing the house Sect. 8.
