Attorney General debate over Messenger case reads in court
A fragment from a debate outlines the Attorney General’s questions about prosecuting the House of Commons messenger. The discussion centers on whether the King’s name should appear in pursuing the case and if the messenger is acting under Commons authority.
Speaker's Authority to Arrest a House Messenger
A debate on whether the Speaker of the House of Commons can authorize arrest of a House messenger under a warrant. The Crown's privilege and prerogative are weighed against parliamentary privilege, with considerations of legal authority, the Serjeant at Arms, and the proper course if the Speaker's order is unclear or improperly issued. The Attorney General and Mr Adair discuss whether Crown intervention is necessary or if the House proper authority suffices to proceed.
