The Lord Chancellor made his decree, and an appeal was thence taken to the House of Lords. Mr. Porter, who was counsel in support of the appeal, was summoned to the bar of the House of Commons to give an account of why he appeared before the House of Lords in a pro- secution in which a member of the House of Commons was con- cerned. Having excused himself as best he could, he was arrested by the Serjeant-at-Arms while engaged in arguing a case before the Master of the Polls, and was sent to the... Tower. Forthwith the House of Lords directed the Usher of the Black Rod to take the lieutenant of the Tower into custody, unless he at once released the counsel who had been committed by the House of Commons. The lieutenant refused, and the matter was brought before the king, who, however, prorogued the par- liament, and thus put an end to a dispute between the two Houses of the Legislature. On the reassembling of parliament, the Commons, being apprehensive that if the Lords lost their appellate jurisdiction it would lapse to the Crown, gave up all further opposition to the entertaining of appeals by the Upper House, and from that time the jurisdiction of the House of Lords SIR CHARLES PORTER.
