§
Lords' Amendments, to be considered to-morrow and to be printed. [Bill 295.]
† A short account of this business (taken from Ralph's History) is given in "The Parliamentary History," Vol. v., page 1336. Fuller's conduct was not voted a breach of privilege; the House passed a resolution declaring him to be "a cheat, a false accuser, and an incorrigible rogue," and Mr. Attorney General was ordered to prosecute him "for his said offences." In the Parliamentary Debates, First Series, Vol. xvi., page 14****, is a speech by Sir Francis Burdett, in which the whole subject of Privilege is elaborately and learnedly examined. "The groundwork of all the privileges of this House" is traced to a law of Canute!—ED.
