Lieutenant-colonel Paul was imprisoned in the gate-house for enlisting men in the service of the pretender.

The titular duke of Powis was committed to the Tower; lords Lansdown-e and Duplin were taken into custody; and a warrant was issued for apprehending the earl of Jersey.

The king desired the consent of the lower house to seize and detain sir William Wyndham, sir John Packington, Mr.Edward Harvey of Combe, Mr.Thos.Forster, Mr.John Anstis, and Mr.Corbet Kynaston, who were members of the house, and suspected of favouring the invasion.

The commons unanimously agreed to the proposal, and presented an address signifying their approbation.

Harvey and Anstis were immediately secured.
