"
[87] This resolution my Lord Chief-Baron referred to and cited in his
argument upon the second question proposed to the Judges, which is
before stated.
[88] This amendment arose from an exception taken to the commission by
the committee for the Commons, which, as it then stood, did in their
opinion imply that the constituting a Lord High Steward was necessary.
Whereupon it was agreed by the whole committee of Lords and Commons,
that the commission should be recalled, and a new commission, according
to the said amendment, issue, to bear date after the order and
resolution of the 12th.--_Commons' Journal_ of the 15th of May.

of Oxford, Earl of Derwentwater, and others,--Lord Wintoun and Lord
Lovat.
