HC Deb 26 May 1820 vol 1 c601

Mr. Wynn presented the following Report from the Committee of Privileges: 1. Resolved, That it appears to this committee, that the action of Christopher Bolton, Robert Gleadow, and Caius Thompson, against John Eyles, esq. warden of his majesty's prison of the Fleet, being founded upon the alleged escape of Robert Christie Burton, esq., from his custody as warden, which escape was no other than a discharge of the said Robert Christie Burton, under the order of this House, of the 28th day of January, 1819, the commencing and prosecuting of the said action is a high breach of the privilege of this House. 2. "That it appears to this committee, that Christopher Bolton, Robert Gleadow, Caius Thompson, Charles Frost, and Archibald Rosser, have been concerned in commencing and prosecuting the said action."—The first resolution being agreed to, it was ordered—on the motion of Mr. Wynn, "That Christopher Bolton, &c. do attend this House on the 5th of June."
