A Peer of parliament, having pleaded in chief to a bill filed against him, in the Court of King’s Bench, cannot afterwards assign for error, that he ought to have been sued by original writ, and not by bill.
Quaere? Whether the Court of King’s Bench has jurisdiction to proceed against a peer of parliament by bill.
