"Another Precedent perused by the Lords was, a Clause in the Act for the Triennial Parliaments, wherein it is enacted and declared, by the Authority of this present Parliament, "That the Peers to be assembled at any Parliament, by virtue of this Act, shall and may, from Time to Time, at any Time during such their Assembly in Parliament, choose and declare such Person to be Speaker for the said Peers as they shall think fit."
It was further reported, That their Lordships were of Opinion, That, if the Lords in Parliament had not a Power and Right to choose their own Speaker, the Lord Chancellor, or any other Speaker, may, if they will, absent themselves voluntarily; the House thereupon should be disenabled to sit.
"Upon these Considerations, their Lordships reported it as the Opinion of the Lords Committees, That the Lords assembled in Parliament of Right are to choose their own Speaker."
