Note 78 — II.—The Influence of Parliament

There are two accounts, in the Acts, of the appointment of this Committee. In one place, they are elected to treat of certain special business (super certis specialibus Regis et Regni negociis—Acts, i. 173), and, in another, of secret business (super certis et specialibus et secretis ... negociis—Acts, i. pp. 507, 508). The lists of members are identical, and only one Committee is intended.
