Belgrave's Arrest.
James Raves and James Tompkins, Bailiffs to the Sheriff of Midd. who, for arresting George Belgrave, Servant in ordinary to the Earl of Sussex, contrary to the Honour and Privilege of this House, were heretofore, by Warrant of this High Court, brought before the Lords, to answer their said Contempt and Offence in that Behalf; and Time not then serving for full Examination of the same Cause, they were then commanded to attend, and be this Day again personally before their Lordships; now appeared accordingly, and made their Submission, and, by their Petition, alledged, that they, before the said Arrest, knew not of any Privilege the said Belgrave had; and that, at the Arrest, Belgrave claimed none; which also both the said Parties, Raves and Tompkins, then deposed, kneeling at the Bar; whereupon they were discharged of any further Attendance. And, because the said Raves and Tompkins, by their said Petition, affirmed, that they made the same Arrest at the Instance of one Robert Browne, who persuaded and assured them that the said Belgrave did not attend on any Parliament Man, neither had any Privilege or Protection whatsoever; therefore it is Ordered, That the Serjeant at Arms attending this House shall, as soon as he conveniently may, bring before the Lords, in this High Court, the said Robert Browne, to answer his Contempt against the Honour and Privilege of this House.
