It was a sad
sight, methought, to-day to see my Lord Peters coming out of the
House, fall out with his lady (from whom he is parted) about this
business, saying that she disgraced him. But she hath been a
handsome woman, and is, it seems, not only a lewd woman, but very
high-spirited.
5th. Lord Peterborough presented a petition to the House from W.
Joyce: and a great dispute, we hear, there was in the House for
and against it. At last it was carried that he should be bayled
till the House meets again after Easter, he giving bond for his
appearance. Anon comes the King and passed the Bill for
repealing the Triennial Act, and another about Writs of Errour.
I crowded in and heard the King's Speech to them; but he speaks
the worst that ever I heard man in my life: worse than if he
read it all, and he had it in writing in his hand. I went to W.
Joyce, where I found the order come, and bayle (his father and
brother) given; and he paying his fees, which come to above 12l.,
besides 5l. he is to give one man, and his charges of eating and
drinking here, and 10s.
