Bill first agreed to by him and his Councel before they should pass the Commons and it s ordered to be recommitted and the House inclined to be as free as the Parliaments of England Several private Petitions read and referred and told us the King would pass the Royal Assent to the Bill of Repeal to morrow June 22. Mr. Poolwhiles Petition read to be reprised for a Debt pretended he had Outlaw'd one and gotten a Custodium whose Estate was to be given to the old Propriator and desired a particular Clause for his Case after Argument put to the Vote and carried he should be reprized After which it was moved that all Cases of the like nature should be reprisable and the Speaker made answer it was a Motion of Vexation to which the Party answered it was but common justice but none seconding the said Motion it fell The House was sent for by the Black Rod the King and Lords being in their Robes the Speaker attended and made a Speech in which he declared what Act they desired his Majesty to pass to wit An Act of Supply for 260000 l. to be raised in 13 Months An Act to repeal the Act of Settlement and Explanation c. And an Act of Liberty of Conscience with Eight several other Acts to which the King answered Le Roy le voilt and so they pass'd After the Commons reassumed their House a Speech was made in behalf of the Speaker to be consider'd for his Service and also one for the Lord Mont Cassel and a Committee appointed to consider and report the same June 25. This day moved that my Lord Mount Cassel and Lord Chancellor Lord Chief Baron and Sir William Talbot with others should be provided for as Meriting Persons and Voted that none but the Speaker and Officers of the House should be considered as such The List of the People to be attainted read for Linster moved in the behalf of John Weaver that he should not be Attainted Collonel Barret desired that those Members that moved for such ill men should be turned out of the House but checked by the Speaker This day Sir John Temple made a Capital-man in the List of Attainders June 26. This day the List of Attainders was read for the County and City of Dublin and Sir Joshua Allen to be attainted and Sir Henry Bond and Sir Patrick Trent Examined about him Coffee appears at the Summons of Mr. Talbot and ordered to appear to morrow Sir Thomas Southwell and others attainted by Jury are to be attainted by name in the List June 27.

I For some particular reasons resolved not to write to you any more especially being uncertain whether you received my former or if you did whether they were of any use but the particular reason of my not writing being partly ceased I consider it is no great matter if I lose my pains I hope to send you an Abstract of what has been done in the House of Lords and Commons having a promise of such an Account from those that know them We have had three Expresses from England John Browne the Lawyer came over about a Fortnight ago from Millford and landed at Waterford Sir J C 's Son came in a Wherry and landed about Wickloe but that which was most material was from the Lord M. by some Quakers that came last Week hither in a Wherry some the like went yesterday back to you we have several Expresses sent over to you that way and a strict Imbargo least any should follow and discover them You must not expect the secret of their Messages from me only 't is reported that John Browne brought no Letters with him but come over with a design to save his Iron-works from the new Proprietors I hear that upon his Petition to the Parliament the Possession is secured to him by a Proviso he paying Rent He reports that England is unanimous and that we must expect
1st That the present Possessors may have time to remove till May next 2dly That all Remainders may be forfeited and vested in the King Journals read THE JOURNALS OF THE HOUSE of LORDS JVNE 12. 1689. JOurnals Read. Lords of the Committee report the Conference Yesterday to the House Commons Reasons debated and upon the whole the Lords agree with them to the first and the Commons condescend in the business of Remainders June 13. C. J. Nugent Reports to the House from the Committee of Petitions several things The Bill for adding and diminishing the Duties on Forreign Commodities and alterations in it read twice A Bill for Liberty of Conscience brought up from the Commons and read once June 14. The Journals Read. Speaker moves that the Bill for Liberty of Conscience may be laid aside for some time and that the House would dispatch for the King must send away his Officers The Bill for adding and diminishing Duties on Forreign Commodities sent up to the House without Alteration the meaning of this Bill is to enable the King to enhance or diminish Duties on such Commodities as he thinks fit At the same time three more Bills were sent up one for taking off incapacities from the Irish Natives another for Repealing the Provision for Ministers in Corporate Towns the third for Regulating the Tithing Table of Vlster each of these read twice and committed In the Afternoon the Committee sits and reads the Bill against the Provision of Ministers and agrees to it the B. of Meath B. Cork B. Limerich and E. Longford dissent June 15. Journals read Bill for taking off incapacities from Natives read twice and passed nemine contradicente the meaning of this Bill is that some Statutes disabled Natives to be Lords-Justices School-masters c. which is now repealed June 17. Bill of Repeal with all its Additions and Alterations sent up Ingrossed from the Commons and read thrice Question put Consent or not B. of Meath Cork Ossory and E. Longford dissent Petitions read and a Bill brought in by Talbot concerning his Rent for the Water-course read twice and committed A new Bill for Liberty of Conscience offered to the House by C. J. Nugent read once and committed the King saying that the first Bill for Liberty of Conscience was more severe against the Church of England than he intended After the House rose the King comes to the B. of Meath and tells him that he did not like the Commons Bill against Liberty of Conscience that it diminisht his Prerogative and design'd to make him break his word with our Church that he intended not to take down the Acts of Uniformity nor destroy our Religion but only to take away the Penalties that were against Liberty The bottom of this Intreague was from C. J. Herb. who plainly foresaw that this would absolutely lose the King all his Protestant Friends in England as being directly contrary to all his Promises and upon this account ingaged the French Ambassadour to be against it or else it had certainly past But the work is done effectually by other Bills and the Act of Uniformity will stand like the Edict of Nants till there be no occasion for it At 4 in the Afternoon the Committee meets and considers the Bill for Liberty of Conscience and the Tithing Table of Vlster and makes Alterations in them June 18. Four Bills sent up from the Commons one for inviting Forreigners to trade here sent up with alterations upon which a present Conference is desired by the Lords they insist on this clause and the Subjects of the most Christian King Lords against these words because they were to the prejudice of the French King. 2 d. A Bill for the disposing of Intestates Goods 2 d. For the continuing a former Statute made for preventing Delays and Executions and Writs of Errour 4th For taking away the benefit of Clergy for two years each of these Bills read once and ordered to be read again next Morning The Clergy of Dublins Petition read The new Bill for Liberty of Conscience fram'd in the Lord's House read twice with its amendments and order'd to be Ingross'd At Four in the Afternoon the Committee meets about Mrs. Walls business and hears the Proofs for her Marriage A Bill brought in by C.
