The title-page reads: 'THE | RESOLUTIONS | OF THE | HOUSE of COMMONS, | FOR THE | IMPEACHMENT | OF | Sir WILLIAM SCROGGS Knt. | Chief Justice of the COURT of | King's Bench; | [this and following three lines bracketed on the left] Sir THOMAS JONES Knight, one of the | Justices of the same Court. | Sir RICHARD WESTON Knight, one of | the Barons of the Court of EXCHEQUER. | Upon the Report of the Committee | of the Commons Appointed to Examine the | Proceedings of the Judges in Westminster-Hall, | and to Report the same, with their Opinions | therein, to the House; and also upon the RE- | SOLVES and VOTES of the Commons in | Parliament, upon that REPORT relating to | the ARBITRARY and ILLEGAL Proceed- | ings of the said Judges. | [rule] | Thursday 23th. of December. 1680. | [rule] | LONDON, | Printed for John Wright, at the Crown on Ludgate-Hill, and Richard | Chiswell, at the Rose and Crown in St. Pauls Church-yard. 1680.' In good condition, on lightly aged paper. The blank recto of the first leaf carries the number '(11)'. Clearly complete (p.159 ends with 'FINIS.'), but the pagination does not correspond to that given by ESTC (which does not note the mispagination of pp.149-152), which states that the item was 'Issued as a supplement to Numb. 50 of the Votes of the House of Commons for 1680.'
