Browne used the numbers before each of the names to arrange the lords of each rank in order of precedence. In some of the committee lists he also included the total number in each category, either at the beginning, as in the Subcommittee of privileges and/or prior to the groups as in the Committee for petitions. His figures do not always balance. The additions and deletions of names shown on the manuscript are probably responsible for this discrepancy. See, for example, below, Braye 16 (23 April), p. 69, n. 3.

page 73 note 6 There seems to have been no occasion when the Lords refused a conference about the Petition of Right (3 Car. I, c. 1). The reference is probably to their insistence on a provision saving the king's prerogative (C.J., i, pp. 901–902).Google Scholar
