THE IMPEACHMENT AND Charge of Mr. Henry Hastings , Sonne to the Earl of Huntington .

THe proceedings of Mr. Henry Hastings in Liecestershire hath bin very great , putting the inhabitants in a great fear and perplexity , he having bin at the Earl of Stamfords House at Bradgate where the Magazine for that County remained , with some hundreds of men in Arms , & at his comming thither , he made a Demand for the Magazine , and desired that it might be delivered into his Custody and keeping , and that the Charge therof according to the Authority given him by his Majesty might be delivered into his hands .

But the Earl did withstand his Demands , and denyed that power which hee there made use of , and still did reserve the Militia in his own Custody .

Upon which denyall , M. Hastings being very much moved , in his wrath and Coller gave forth very insolent and proud threats against the Earle , and all his Assistants , and not only did strive to staine their spotlesse Reputation with malicious and most opprobrious tearms , but also proclaimed the Earl and all his followers Traytors .

The Report and Consideration of these Out-rages by the said Hastings so committed , took up each House some time in debate , and occasioned two Conference for the stopping and hindring of tumultuous meetings , both in that County and else-where .

The Houses being much moved at these troubls , took into their consideration the strength of the malignant Party with His Majesty , and the opposition caused by them , to the great interruption of Parliamentall Proceedings .

Amongst others concerning the late actions of Mr. Hastings in and about Leicester : And after some debate thereupon , they appointed a Committee to draw up a Charge , against him and his Adherents . Upon the meeting of the House of Commons , the Committee appointed , having prepared the Charge against Mr. Hastings , according to the direction and appointment given them by the House , it was publiquely read , and the Lords House being compleated and setled , the said Charge was sent up unto them for their approbation also , with a Desire of the said Committee that the said Mr. Hastings might bee forthwith proceeded aginst , which was assented to , and an Order issued forth for his summoning in to answer the same .

On the 13. of JULY the Committees of both houses being met about the accommodation between His Majesty and His Parliament , the Earl of Pembroke made an excellent Speech ; the substance whereof did discover and lay open the meanes for that most happy and desired Union , and the happinesse that would arise from that Conglatination .

Wherupon the Committee taking into their serious consideration , the best means for an Accommodation between the King and the Parliament , upon a Message sent to the Lords , there was a Conference .

Where it was concluded , that a Select Committee of both Houses should meete the next morning , to consider of those Remoraes , which hindered that happy connexion , and to remove them if it were by any means possible .

And upon their meeting the next morning , it was concluded , that the Earle of Holland should present their Desires to His Majesty , who is now gone for the same Businesse , whose Endeavours the Lord of his mercy blesse , for the benefit and peace of this Kingdom .

An Order of the Lords and Commons , Assembled in Parliament .

WHeras severall Commissions of Array have lately issued out under the Great Seal of England , into the severall Counties of Leicester , Worcester , and other Counties of this Realm , tending to the great danger of his Majesty , and the disturbance of the peace of this Kingdome : For the preventing thereof , and of the Execution , and issuing out of any such Commissions for the time to come , It is ordered by the Lords and Commons , That the Judges and Justices of Assize , of the severall Counties of England and Wales , bee required in their severall Circuits , at the Assizes and great Sessions to be next held for each County , within this Realm , and the Dominion of Wales , in open Court , and in their severall Charges to be delivered to the Grand-Juries at the said Assizes , openly to declare and publish , that the said Lords and Commons have upon mature deliberation , Resolved upon the question , That the said Commissions of Array are against Law , and against the Liberty and proper●y of the Subject : And that all those that are Actors in putting the same in execution , shall be esteemed Disturbers of the peace of this Kingdome , and Betrayers of the Liberty of the Subject .
