The true Causes of the Commitment of Mr. Clement Walker to the Tower IT is spread up and downe in the City as many other lies are very industriously for there is no trade so quick at this time that Master Clement Walker is committed for writing a Book against Colonell Fines a lie as loud as any in that Book though there will appeare to be as many there as there are leaves and many more The truth is this he was never questioned for any thing concerning Colonell Fines that being by Order of the House of Commons and direction of my Lord Generall thereupon referred to a Councell of Warre But in his Book he had laid an aspertion upon a Peere for carrying in and out things secretly into the Iland of Lundy the mysteries whereof must not bee discovered for Colonell Nathaniel Fines he did never once send to that Iland all the while hee was Governour of Bristoll The Lords upon this to vindicate the honour of that Lord whose the Iland was did order the Gentleman Usher to bring Walker before them to declare what the mysteries were that hee spake of and what hee knew to bee carried in and out of that Iland Hee attending one day and there being not time to heare him for other businesse the next day hee rode out of the Towne Whereupon the Gentleman Usher receiving a check from the Lords hee sent the Messenger Master Baker after him who over-tooke him and brought him back againe This put the angry Gentleman into such a fury who they say once stab'd his Wife as shee sate at Table with him that hee called that Lord by whose meanes hee thought it was done base beggerly Lord and this was deposed by Baker who brought him up Yet there being but one witnesse of this and he denying it the Lords proceeded not upon it but demanded of him what were the words he spake who answered that he said that Lord did prosecute him maliciously This he charged the Lord with sitting in the House and upon this he was censured that Lord having withdrawne himselfe The Lords before they went to give their censure calling for the Records and perusing them to see what had been formerly done in the like cases Mr. Walker being afterward called into the House a day or two intervening that he had sufficient time to advise of it and the judgement read unto him when he was asked whether he would submit to the Justice of the House hee answered noe for that it was against the liberty of the Subject because there was no originall Writ or Record before them and because he was a Commoner of England and a Committee in the County and therefore ought not to bee judged by the Lords unlesse he was first heard in the House of Commons This when it was in the case of one of their Members and that sitting in their House openly at their Barre was such a derogation to the priviledge of Parliament and subversion of the power of Judicature in the highest Court of the Kingdome that the Lords commanded the Clerk presently to set downe the words and committed this Gentleman to the Tower ordering that they would proceed further upon this as that which struck at the root of the power and priviledge of the Lords House That this is the truth and not those lies which are spread abroad will appeare in the Journall Book to any that shall examine it
