'A Journal off the Howse of Commons att the Parliament begun att Westminster, 3 Nov. 1640, Ao. Regis Car. 16.’ It ends on the 4th January, 1640-41, and, omitting many things recorded in the printed Journal of the House of Commons for that period, contains entries not to be found therein, with short notes of some of the debates. The writer records himself as ‘being returned Burgess for Stamford in Lincolnshire.' The Members for Stamford in that Parliament were Geoffrey Palmer (1598-1670, baronet 1660) and Sir Thomas Hatcher, Kt. The former was probably the author of this Journal. At the end of the volume, written with the book reversed, are 17 leaves, containing: (1) Notes on the law of treason. (2) The case of the Earl of Strafford, in Westminster Hall, 17 April, 1641. (3) 'The King's Speech, 1 Maii, 1641,’ in Strafford's case. (4) 'A protestation made by the Howse of Commons, 3 Maii, 1641,' for the maintenance of the reformed religion, etc. (5) 'In the case of Mr Percye and others,' upon their 'conspiring to bring up the army to awe the Parliament.'
