Report of the Conference.

The Lord President, and the rest of the Lords that were Managers, reported, "That the Lords asked the Commons, What those Forms and Methods were in Reference to the Trials of the Lords in The Tower which they desired to confer about? Of which the Commons say, They were not instructed to discourse, because they expected this Free Conference was to be concerning a Committee of both Houses, touching which their Lordships have given them yet no Denial: Therefore, the Commons said, they must resort to their House, for Directions herein."
