Brecknock answers Senator on Parliament power over expulsions
Brecknock argues that no act of Parliament authorizes expulsion for a misdemeanor and cites Selden and William III statutes to deny the House of Commons power in such cases. He dismisses the Senator's attack as inconclusive and asserts the prior claim that expulsions require treason or felony, not mere libel, in a political letter exchange.
