Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Historical Relation of State Affairs, Vol. 4 of 6: From September 1678 to April 1714 Sir Joseph Williamson being chosen for Thetford and Rochester, declared he would stand for the latter. Sir William Trumball reported the king's answer to the commons addresse, that he will issue forth his proclamation for his receivers and collectors to take clipt standard money; and accordingly a proclamation hath been published for that end. The commons afterward debated the lords amendments to the coynage bill, and were a great while on that part which related to the goeing of clipt money by weight, and ordered the further consideration thereof to be adjourned till Munday, and have resolved to sitt de die in diem upon it till 'tis perfected. The 3rd, forty four criminalls convict of several crimes pleaded his majesty's gratious pardon on their knees at the Old Baily, thirty four of whom upon condition of transportation, the others absolute, which was allowed. Tuesday, 7th Jan. - The commons yesterday spent most of their time upon the lords amendments to the coynage bill, and disagreed to several of them, and to that about having of clipt money goe by weight. The house of lords were yesterday upon the bill for the Irish nobility and gentry taking the oaths in Westminster hall, to save them the labour of goeing to Ireland to take them. The lords of the admiralty attended their lordships, and were in part examined as to their conduct the last year, and are ordered to appear there again on Saturday. This day the lords had the commissioners of the customs before them about the trade for the 3 last years, and are to attend again to morrow. This day the commons had a conference with the lords, and offered their reasons for disagreeing to the lords amendments to the coynage bill, and the lords ordered them to be reported to morrow, when there will be a free conference, and the lords have summoned all the lords to attend. The house of commons were called over, and no reasonable excuse being made for sir Thomas Barnadiston, sir Robert Dashwood, sir William Morley, Mr. Elston, and Mr. Beare, they were all 5 ordered to be taken into custody of the serjeant at arms.
