Upon reading the Petition of John Rosse; praying to be naturalized:

It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Petitioner may be added to a Bill of Naturalization, now depending in this House, as desired.

Union between England and Scotland, Bill for Commissioners to treat about.

The House was adjourned during Pleasure, and put into a Committee upon the Bill, intituled, "An Act, authorizing certain Commissioners of the Realm of England to treat with Commissioners of Scotland, for the Weal of both Kingdoms."

After some Time, the House was resumed.

And the Lord Herbert reported, "That the Committee had gone through the said Bill, with One Amendment."

Which was read Twice, and agreed to; and the Bill ORDERED to be engrossed.

Delagarde et al. Nat. Bill.

Hodie 2a vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act for naturalizing Isaac D'lagarde, John Batero, and others."

ORDERED, That the said Bill be referred to the same Committee to whom the Bill, intituled, "An Act for the Ship Martha of Margam to trade as a free Ship," stands committed; who are to meet on Tuesday next, at Ten of the Clock in the Forenoon.

Doctor's examined about D'Brian and Persude's Illness, who were to attend as Witnesses for the Duke of Norfolk.

The House being informed, "That Sir Theodore Colladon and Doctor Hutton attended, as ordered Yesterday:"

Sir Theodore Colladon, being called in and sworn, says, He saw Mrs. D'Briane Yesterday; she was very ill, sainting in Bed, and scarce able to live. Mrs. Persode he also visited; who, having miscarried by a Fright, could not stir out of her Bed without Hazard of her Life."

Doctor Hutton, being called in and sworn, says, "He visited Mrs. Mary D'Briane this Morning; she hath been sick Three Months, is in an ill Condition of Health, and it will endanger her Life if she comes abroad, Mrs. Persode is very ill; she cannot come out of her Bed without endangering her Life."

Then the Counsel were called in, for the Duke and Dutchess of Norfolke.

The Dutchess's Counsel moved, "To have the Witnesses Christian Names, and Place of their Abode;" and said, "They had not the Names till this Morning."

Interpreters Oath.

Then the Two Interpreters took the following Oath:

"You shall well, truly, and faithfully, interpret, between the House and Elianor Vaness the Witness, touching the Matters she shall give in Evidence."

Duke of Norfolk's Bill for a Divorce, Counsel, &c. heard.

Counsel being withdrawn; the House agreed to tell the Duke's Counsel, "That they might proceed to examine Witnesses that were named the Day before; and that, if the Dutchess's Counsel had any Exception, they might now make it, against them or their Testimony; and that the Duke's Agents should give the Christian Names of their Witnesses, and as much as they can of the Places of their Abode, to the Agents of the Dutchess."

The Counsel, being called in again, were told what was agreed by the House, touching the Witnesses.

Then the Duke's Counsel proceeded; and called in Elianor Vanesse. Who being asked several Questions by the Duke's Counsel, the Interpreter asked them of her in Dutch; and she answered again to the Interpreter, and he declared her Answers to the House in English.
