lor, the lord president (earl Camden), the 
lord privy seal (earl of Westmoreland), 
and the master of the horse (duke of Mon- 
trose), took their seats on the woolsack, 
as commissioners for declaring the causes 
of the opening of the session of parlia- 
ment, under the authority of the above- 
mentioned commission. Their lordships, 
as well as most of the peers present, were 
in their robes of state. 
Mr. Quarme, acting usher of the black 
rod, was then dispatched to desire the at- 
tendance of the Commons, in order to 
hear the commission read for the opening 
of parliament accordingly. Shortly af- 
ter, a very considerable number of mem- 
bers appeared at the bar, with the speaker 
at their head; when the lord chancellor, 
as organ of the commissioners, addressed 
the assembly as follows: 
“* My Lords and Gentlemen, 
** Forasmuch as his majesty, for certain 
_, Teasons and canses, cannot be present here 
this dayg 
his royal person, in order to 
epen and hold this parliament, a commis- 
sion has been issued under the great seal 
for that purpose, authorizing certain 
lords therein named to act as commission- 
li to declare and signify the causes of 
State of Public Affairs in January. 
71 
opening and holding this parliament in 
his majesty’s name and behalf, which com- _ 
mission you will now hear read.” 
The commission, as adyerted to by the 
lord chancellor, was then read. 
The lord chancellor again addressed the 
assembly; 
‘* My Lords and Gentlemen, 
‘* Acting by virtue, and under the au- 
thority given to us and the other lords in 
his majesty’s commission now, read, 
amongst other things, we are authorized 
to notify and declare the reasons and 
causes for the opening and holding the 
session of parliament ; and we have only 
in the present instance to discharge our 
duty, by calling your earnest and imme- 
diate attention to the afflicting circum- 
stance of his majesty’s present indisposi- 
tion, in order that you may provide, as 
far as may be possible, for the care and 
preservation of the sacred person of his 
majesty, for the due maintenance of his 
royal dignity, and for the personal exer- 
cise of his royal authority, in sueh’ man- 
ner, and to such extent, as the exigencies 
of the case may appear to require.”” 
The Commons then withdrew from the 
bar, and returned to their own House.*
