Their lordships proceeded in the usual form to Westminster-hall, previous to which lord Hood of Catherington was introduced, and took the oaths and his seat.—They returned about four, when the house came to a resolution, "That this house, having taken into consideration the articles of impeachment against Henry lord viscount Melville, do acquit the said Henry lord viscount Melville thereof, and he is hereby acquitted of all the high crimes and misdemeanours on the articles of charge exhibited against him by the commons, and of all matters and things therein contained, and this house do hereby dismiss the said impeachment."—An order, usual on such occasions, was made relative to the publication of the trial, and after transacting some private business the house adjourned.
