We hear that each temporal Peer is to have eight Tickets, to admit their Friends on the Scaffolding in Westminster Hall, to hear the Trials of the three Lords in the Tower.
The Scaffolding in Westminster Hall is fenced round below the Common Pleas, and the Floor is to be even with the Upper Step leading to the Court of Chancery.
At the upper End of the Hall there is to be a magnificent Throne erected for the Lord High Steward to sit for the Trial of the Peers.
There is also a Place to be erected for his Majesty, if he shall think fit to come.
And another for the Royal Family, where the Judges come out from their Chamber into the Court of King's Bench.
