This interfer tence was resolutely resisted by the House of Commons, and the House of Lords, although previously in favor of the King, joined the Cone mons in a petition declaring his proceedings “manifest breach of the privileges of Parlia ment,” and setting lurih that “hey would no uidhe consiler [reland, till this manifest breach should be repaired? ‘The King was compelled to yield, and the privileges of parliament were sustained.
