The Lord Chief Justice related the message delivered yesterday from the 

 lower house, by Sir Robert Philips and others : 



The which consisted of two parts : the one of matter of respect, the other of 

 substance. 



In the one, they acknowledged the good correspondence between both the 

 houses, especially in the examination of the grievances complained of, and 

 presented to the lords ; with humble thanks for the supply the lords added to 

 their labours, in giving the oath unto the examinants, which they cannot do. 

 They humbly desire to know the time of the recess of this parliament, and of 

 the access again, as they may accordingly depart and meet again at the same 

 time their lordships shall. 



The second, being matter of substance, consisted of four points objected 

 against the Lord Chancellor. 



1. The first, a suit in the chancery being between the Lady Wharton, plain 

 tiff, and Wood and others, defendants, upon cross bills ; the Lord Chancellor, 

 upon hearing, wholly dismissed them. But, upon the entry of the order, the 

 cross bill against the Lady Wharton was only dismissed. And afterwards, for 

 a bribe of 300/. given by the Lady Wharton to the Lord Chancellor, his lord 

 ship decreed the cause for her ; and then, hearing that Wood ami the other 

 defendants complained thereof to the commons, his lordship sent for them, and 

 damned that decree, as unduly gotten ; and, when the Lady Wharton began to 

 complain thereof, his lordship sent for her also, and promised her redress, say 

 ing, &quot; That decree is not yet ended.&quot; 



Secondly, in a suit, between Hull, plaintiff, and Hollman, defendant, Holl 

 man, deferring his answer, was committed to the Fleet, where he lay twenty 

 weeks, and, petitioning to be delivered, was answered by some about the Lord 

 Chancellor, the bill shall be decreed against him (pro confesso), unless he 

 would enter into 2000/. bond to stand to the Lord Chancellor s order ; which 

 he refusing, his liberty cost him, one way and other, better than 1000/. Holl 

 man being freed out of the Fleet, Hull petitioned to the Lord Chancellor, and 

 Hollman, finding his cause to go hard on his side, complained to the commons ; 

 whereupon the Lord Chancellor sent for him, and, to pacify him, told him, he 

 should have what order he would himself. 



Thirdly, in the cause between Smithwick and Wyche, the matter in question 

 being for accompts ; the merchants, to whom it was referred, certified on the 

 behalf of Smithwick ; yet Smythwicke, to obtain a decree in his cause, was 

 told by one Mr. Borough (one near the Lord Chancellor), that it must cost him
