HL Deb 25 March 1806 vol 6 c530
Mr. Whitbread ,

and several other members of the commons, presented at the bar, in the name of the commons of the United Kingdom, a Replication to the Answer of Henry lord Melville, declaring that the said lord Melville is guilty of the high crimes and misdemeanours charged against him in the Articles of Impeachment, and that the commons are ready to prove same. The Replication having been read at the table, earl Fitzwilliam moved, that a day be appointed for the trial of Henry lord Melville: that the trial of the said lord Melville take place at the bar of the house, on the 29th of April next, at 11 in the forenoon; and that a message be sent to the commons to acquaint them therewith, and require them to appoint a committee to manage the impeachment; all which motions were agreed to, after a few words from the earl of Radnor respecting a point of form.
