Note 495 — Chapter VI
Reading edition
Commons' Journals, 147, etc.; Parl. Hist. 997; Carte, iii. 730, who gives, on this occasion, a review of the earlier cases where the house had entered on matters of election. See also a rather curious letter of Cecil in Winwood's Memorials, ii. 18, where he artfully endeavours to treat the matter as of little importance.
