A new writ was ordered to be issued for Wexford, in the room of lord Loftus, called up to the house of peers as marquis of Ely.—Mr. Giles reported, from the committee of impeachment, that they had inspected the place in the court prepared for the accommodation of the house, and found that here would be sufficient space for the accommodation of 500 members, besides the managers of the impeachment. He then moved a string of resolutions, being those usual in such case: That the managers do first go out of the house before the other members; that after the Speaker has left the house, the members be called by the clerk, according to their counties: That no member do go out till his county be called: That no person but members do presume to sit in the places appointed for members in Westminster hall: That the serjeant do take all such into custody: For the more convenient passage to the hall, that the constables do attend and keep the same clear. Ordered.—The from of procedure in the cases of dr. Sacheverill and Mr. Hastings, being entered as read, Mr. Giles moved, that the same precedents be observed on the trial of lord Melville. Ordered.—It was also ordered, that no member do cross, pass through, or remain, in the passage to the hall, during the procession to and from the trial: Also, that a note, with the name of the right hon. C. Bathurst, be given to the serjeant at arms, and that he do order him to attend at said trial
