The Lord Audley reported from the Lords Committees, appointed to consider, "Whether, when Mr. Attorney General is heard on the King's Behalf, the Counsel of other Parties concerned, may not be present:"

"That their Lordships, upon Perusal of the Precedents following, are of Opinion, That, when Mr. Attorney General hath been heard in the House, as Counsel for the King, it hath been in the Presence of the Counsel of the other Parties at the Bar.

"19° Januarii, 1640, Mr. Attorney argued the King's Claim to the Baronies of Hastings and Ruthin: The Counsel for the Earl of Kent and Mr. Longueville, being at the Bar, desired the House would appoint a Time when they might reply to Mr. Attorney; which was ordered; and Mr. Attorney to have the last Word for the King, if he see Cause.

"7th January, 1694, Mr. Attorney was heard, at the Table, touching the Barony of Broke: Sir Richard Verney's Counsel and the Heralds were heard, at the same Time, at the Bar."

To which Report the House agreed; and ORDERED, That when Mr. Attorney General is to be heard, as Counsel for the King, it ought to be in the Presence of the Counsel of the other Parties concerned.

Then the Order of the Fourth Instant was read.
