Privileges of the Commons and the Tower Controversy
A historical argument defends limited Commons privileges against abuse by its own House. The text recalls cases from 1680 to 1704, including habeas corpus, writs of error, and the Serjeant at Arms, examining how Parliament balances liberty and authority. It notes motions to commit the Lord Mayor to the Tower and the formation of a ministerial select committee to investigate orders and mob incidents.
