FIRST INSTANCE OVA LIMITED REGENCY IN

U. EDITOR,

EWOLAND.

Accidentally turning over in the British Museum
some colledions relative to the usage and custom of
Parliament, I met with a passage, which may be
considered as curious and interesting from the vr.ri-
ous reports of the present day. " lo the 5l sr Year
of Edward the Third, the King, after he had sum-
moned the Parli;•ment, made Ri-hard Prince of
Wales President thereof, reserving unto himself (u
would seem) the Royal Assent unto the Bills.
" For it is recorded that divers of the Prelates and
[,neck, the Chancellor, Treasurer, Keeper of the
Privie Seal, and all the Justices, by the command•
meet of the King, went to Aviv where our Lord ate
Kin 4 lay tick of Ats molodir, and there in his presence.
and in the presence of Monsieur de Lancastre and
others, there so come, were rehearsed the manner of
the articles of the general pardon and grace which
our Load the King had made to his Commons, in
manner as hereafter ensueth, together with some
other answers to his Commons petitions. And this
being done, the King said that he agreed well unto
the same, and therewith was well contented • and
commanded that these graces and answers should be
read the next morning in Parliament, and thu an
end be made of the 15arliament.

" And thereupon the Lords returned to London,
and the very next morning, the same sitting, being
continued from one day unto another, by authority of
the king and the !aid Pr ttik t, the s4id C.»timons
pe,itions, with their answe s made in the same Par.
hament in the heAring of all the Pre!Ates A,
and Commons, in the ,aO.l ir the re.ene::
:1 the soul PreAde,d, were ?vas in the inA.Licr
customed."

As this, I apprehend, is the first instance of a
limited. Regency to be met with in out annals, I have
thought it Kurth transcribing.
