Contempt and Privilege During Tudor Parliament Case
An 16th century incident reports George Ferrers, a Plymouth burgess, arrested in London by process out of the King’s Bench. Friction with city officers led to a fray. Serjeant was assaulted, demanded delivery without writ. London sheriffs and clerks faced contempt, resulting in detentions. The King and Lords debated parliamentary privilege, asserting the House’s authority and the Serjeant’s mace as warrant. The episode ends with references to further discussion in legal tracts.
