Peers Poll-money.

Hereupon it is ORDERED, That Mr. Clotterbucke do forthwith send Letters to those particular Lords, signed under the Hands of the Lords Commissioners, to desire that the Monies of such Lords as are now in Town may be paid in between this and Saturday next; and within Fourteen Days by those Lords as are out of Town.

Message from H. C. with a Bill to regulate the Navy.

A Message was brought from the House of Commons, by Mr. Coventrey and others; who returned a Bill sent down formerly, concerning Articles and Orders for the better governing the Navy; wherein the House of Commons have made some Alterations, which they offer to their Lordships Consideration, and desire Concurrence therein.

The said Alterations, being read Thrice, were Agreed to.

The Earl of North'on reported, "That the Committee hath examined the Business upon the Petition of Doctor Pory; and their Lordships find, upon the Examination of. Wimesses, that Mathew Hardy did take up the Body of Archbishop Parker out of the Place where he was buried, and took away the Lead wherein he was wrapped, and sold it, and buried the Bones of that worthy Person under a Dunghill; having defaced his Monument, and converted his Tomb-stone to the Use of a Table in his House; to which the said Hardy pleads the Act of Indemnity:"

The House, taking into Consideration this inhuman Act, did order, That this House will respite the giving any Determination whether this Fact be within the Act of Oblivion or not, until the next Meeting after the Adjournment of this Parliament: And in the mean Time the said Mathew Hardy shall take up, or cause to be taken up, the Bones of the said Archbishop of Canterbury, where they are now laid, and put them into the same Place where he was first buried; and that he shall forthwith, at his own Charges, erect a Tomb over the said Place of his Burial, as formerly was. And this House will further consider, whether it be not fit to have a Bill brought in for the preventing of Inconveniencies in the like Kind hereafter.
