For a supersedeas for a peer of the realm. Supersedeas.
My Lord Moone had a sute commenced against him in this Court, and tbereupon he moves by his councel upon an affidavit that he was a peer of the realm, and a Lord of the Parliament, and therefore ought not to be sued, and prayes for a supersedeas to stay the proceedings. Roll lustice, Plead your privilege, for upon an affidavit we will make no rule, or else acquaint the other party that he is a peer of the realm, and it is like he will forbear to proceed thereupon. But you ought not to troubl the Court with such notions as these.
