Tyrwhitt, who conducted them to the House of Peers, in srhick the Lord Chancellor and the Earl of Shafisbury waited their art ival. The Duke of Ciacenec explained to her 31ajesty the ftin: :if the House, and called her attention to every thing worthy of observation.

They sat in the Duchess of York's pew.
