This demurrer was, called on for.argument.: Mr.:Hot,aoYD,statetl, that,this was an anion : at law br oug h t . by. Sir Pratte's Burdett, 'Bart. against the light Hon. the Speaker of the House of Com mons ; and the declaration charged toe defentlaot with a trespass and assault, by breaking into the plairatifrs house on the Pith, day of April, t 8 to, and Obliging, him to go to hi s M a j esty ' s T ower :of Lon don. There were other formaL counts for false im prisonment. The 'defendant's first . - plea 'was, not &inky : his second sta:ed, as to breaking the plain• It tlik's outer-door and window, ansl. as to all the t res. ,pistesin the first couar,: that at' the time thereof a SelOcin ,otTat ha ment was holding at Weinninsier of qit-i, o, T9ll9plis .

In support, of this demurrer, the Learned Critinsel , Was to argue for tire plaintiff.
