Lords Sitting of 11 June 1805

MINUTES.
Their lordships, pursuant to the order of the day, resolved into a committee of privileges; and lord Walsingham having taken the chair, Mr. Plomer was heard as counsel, at some length, in support of the claim of the duke of Rutland, to the Roos barony. After which, the committee deferred the farther consideration of the case till Friday.—The various bills upon the table were forwarded in their respective stages; among these, the Army Pay-Office Regulation bill, the West-India Free Ports, the Post Horse Duty Farming bill, and the Public Accountants' Audit bills, severally passed committees of the whole house, without amendment, and were afterwards reported.—Lingham's Divorce bill also passed through a committee; but receiving an amendment on the motion of lord Auckland, the report was ordered to be made to-morrow.—Lord Walsingham, (in the absence of the marquis of Abercorn.) moved that the committee of the whole house do proceed farther to-morrow in the consideration of the case of Mr. justice Fox; and that the counsel be called in at half past two o'clock, and their lordships summoned on the occasion, which was ordered accordingly.—Adjourned.
