Cammell's Petition.

The Lord Chancellor declared to the Lords, That Richard Cammell, whom this House, on Thursday last, did commit unto The Fleet, for his great Contempt and Neglect, in penning and directing of sundry Writs of Summons to divers Lords, Peers of this Realm, in other Form than heretofore had been accustomed, and therein, contrary to the Honour of this House, omitting certain Words accustomed and fit to be inserted in such Writs, hath presented to the Court a Petition, containing his humble Acknowledgment and Submission, with hearty Sorrow for his said Fault, desiring also Mercy from all their Lordships, and their Favour for his Enlargement; which Petition was openly read, in hæc verba:

And he according &c.

"Richard Camell."
