Lords Sitting of 24 March 1806

IMPEACHMENT OF LORD MELVILLE.
Lord Melvilleattended in his place, and delivered in his answer to the 10th article of Impeachment. His lordship entered his protest against the unprecedented circumstance under which that additional article

523
had been preferred; and declared that he did not think himself bound, either by the law or usage of parliament, to answer it. He should, however, plead "not guilty" to the charge generally.—The answer was then ordered to be sent to the commons.
