In the King’s Bench April session, Mr MineSy moved for a rule to show cause why an attachment should not issue against John King and Lord Falkland for nonpayment of an award. The court granted the rule against King. Falkland faced a similar rule for filing a Chancery bill contrary to an undertaking not to file equity. The discussion touched peer privilege, habeas corpus precedents, and the potential for attached nobles, with the court noting the need to uphold justice and the dignity of the peerage. The judge suggested dismissing the Chancery bill with costs and ordered service and further considerations, including possible contempt findings.
