Lords Sitting of 10 May 1806

MINUTES.
The house proceeded as usual to Westminster-hall. Their lordships returned soon after four, when an order was made to proceed further on the trial of lord viscount Melville on Tuesday, and a message sent to the house of commons to acquaint them therewith.—The report of the resolutions of the committee of privileges, respecting the claims to the Roos Peerage, and setting forth that the barony in question remains in abeyance between the co-heirs of Robert de Roos, viz. George-earl of Essex, lady H. Fitzgerald, sir H. Hunloke, &c. was again read; it was then confirmed by the house, and the usual address, to his majesty voted on the occasion, to be presented by the Lords with white staves.—The bills upon the table, chiefly private, were forwarded in their respective stages.—The Earl of Radnor having some observations to offer to the house, respecting points of Order and Privilege, and touching certain proceedings relative to the high Court in Westminster Hall, the strangers were ordered to withdraw and the exclusion continued some time. After the doors were opened, the Bristol Harbour Improvement bill was brought up from the commons by Mr. Baillie and others, and forthwith read a first time; after which the house adjourned till Monday.
