Note Footnote 36 — Front matter

[36] Lords' Journals, June 4, 6, 14, 20, 22 et alibi sæpe. "Upon information given that some person in the late times had carried away goods from the house of the Earl of Northampton, leave was given to the said earl, by his servants and agents, to make diligent and narrow search in the dwelling-houses of certain persons, and to break open any door or trunk that shall not be opened in obedience to the order." June 26. The like order was made next day for the Marquis of Winchester, the Earls of Derby and Newport, etc. A still more extraordinary vote was passed August 16. Lord Mohun having complained of one Keigwin, and his attorney Danby, for suing him by common process in Michaelmas term, 1651, in breach of privilege of peerage, the house voted that he should have damages: nothing could be more scandalously unjust, and against the spirit of the bill of indemnity. Three presbyterian peer protested.
