It was moved, That whereas Yesterday there was One Point left undebated, That it might be the Work of this Day to bring that unto some Conclusion; and, because it was alledged, that there was much Time spent in the former in bringing it to a Head; therefore it was Ordered, for the better expediting of Matters hereafter in the like Manner, That the Lords Committees of the Grand Committee for Privileges do take it into Consideration, Whether, upon Adjournment of the House into a Committee, it be not necessary there be one appointed, to sit in nature of a Speaker, to recollect and gather together the Heads of those Matters that are propounded, the better to prepare Business for a Conclusion.
