HL Deb 13 June 1811 vol 20 c606

Some conversation took place on a notice given by the earl of Radnor, of "motion for some proceeding to be adopted by the House, in consequence of an indictment against a noble peer for a capital charge. Lord Ellenborough observed upon the difficulty in this case, a peer and another individual being included in the same indictment; if, therefore, the indictment was removed into that House by certiorari, he did not see how the inferior court could then try the other individual. The earl of Radnor said he had framed his motion for the purpose of bringing into the House a copy of the indictment. Lord Ellenborough thought there was no precedent for this. After some further conversation it was agreed that the earl of Radnor's notice should stand for Tuesday.
