5.  It  is  agreed,  that  where  a  Peer  is  tried  by  the  Houfe  of  Lords  in  fall
Parliament^  the  Houfe  may  be  adjourned  as  Oj'ten  as  there  is  Occ a/ton ^  and  the
'  Evidence  taken  by  Parcels  ;  Alfo^  it  has  been  adjudged,  That  •where  the
Trial  is  by  Commiffion,  the  Lord  Steward^  after  a  VerdiSf  is  given,  may
take  time  to  advife  upon  it ;  and  that  his  Office  continues  till  he  has  given
judgment.  Alio  it  was  faid  to  have  been  agreed  by  the  Judges  in  the
Ld.  £)ilCCC'0  Cafe,  That  on  fuch  a  Trial  the  Court  might  be  adjorncd^  and

bi  kept  together  all  Night,  and  by  others,  that  they  might  go  to  their  le-
veral  Houfes.  But  it  is  laid,  That  there  is  no  Precedent  of  the  Lords
Triers  ever  having  feparated  upon  a  Trial  by  Commiffion,  after  the  Evi-
dence has  been  given  tor  the  King,  and  it  is  faid  to  have  been  refolved
by  all  the  Judges  in  the  Cafe  of  the  DllfeC  Of  j^OtfOlfe,  That  the  Peers
in  fuch  Cafe  mull  continue  together  till  they  agree  to  give  a  Verdift  ;
and  the  like  was  adjudged  by  the  Lord  Steward  in  the  Lord  S)Cl3niCrC'jS
