E. of Cumberland's Privilege.
Allome's Bill.
This Day, William Allome, the Earl of Cumberland's Servant (who had been arrested upon Execution by Robert Beane and William Cabbstacke), was brought into the House, by the Sheriff of Middlesex, according to the Order of the Court set down in that Behalf the last of April; and forasmuch as it appeared to the Court, that the said Allome was not to be taken for a menial or ordinary Servant to his Lordship, nor was employed in any necessary Place of Attendance about his Lordship, in this Time of the Parliament; and therefore was not held to be a Person privilegeable from this Arrest: It was therefore Ordered, That he should be returned again to the Prison of Newgate, from whence he came, there to remain till he shall be discharged by the ordinary Course of Law: And, whereas the said Robert Beane, one of those that arrested him, was also, according to the Order of the last of April, brought before the Lords by the Serjeant at Arms, it was thought meet (upon Protestation by him made, that he knew not the said Allome to be the Earl of Cumbreland's Servant at the Time of his Arrest) that he should be discharged and dismissed from any further Attendance for that Cause.
Memorandum, That, although the said Robert Beane was dismissed as abovesaid, yet, because the other that did assist him in the Arrest (namely William Cabstacke) had ever since withdrawn himself, it was Ordered, That he should come to his Answer for the same in the Court; and that the said Robert Beane should bring him into the House upon Saturday next, by Eight in the Morning.
