Lord Mayor Habeas Corpus Proceedings at Westminster
A detailed contrived account reports the Court of Common Pleas hearing a Habeas Corpus writ against the Lord Mayor. Arguments focus on whether the return to the writ was valid, the scope of parliamentary privilege, and if the Lord Mayor acted under oath and jurisdiction or exceeded authority. The discussion probes whether the House of Commons overstepped its powers and if the prisoner should be discharged.
