"That afternoon the King and the Lords were in council from two to eight on the question whether the Parliament should be dissolved. The negative was resolved on. On the following morning the Speaker explained away his message, and the house proceeded with the Remonstrance. The King agreed thereunto, and came that afternoon, gave the customary royal assent, adding other observations which are repeated. It is impossible to express with what joy this was heard, nor what joy it causes in the city, where they are making bonfires at every door, such as was never seen but upon his Majesty’s return from Spain."--_Letter from Sir Francis Nethersole to the Queen of Bohemia, vol. cvi., No. 55, dated June 5. The Strand._ "Sends a copy of the Remonstrance of the Commons. It was presented to the King on Tuesday last. The Duke was present in the Banqueting-house at the time, and on his Majesty rising from his chair, kneeled down, with a purpose, it was conceived, to have besought his Majesty to say something.

His Majesty’s favour to the Duke is no way diminished, but the ill-will of the people is like to be much increased."--_The same to the same, vol. cvii., No. 78, June 19. The Strand._ DEATH OF BUCKINGHAM. Some further particulars of this event and its effects are related in a letter from Sir Francis Nethersole to James Earl of Carlisle. “The King took the Duke’s death very heavily, keeping his chamber that day, as is well to be believed. But the base multitude in the town drink healths to Felton, and these are infinitely more cheerful than sad faces of better degrees.” FELTON. _Examination of Richard Harward_:--"George Willoughby taught him to write. Saw Felton at Willoughby’s within a month; Felton complained of the Duke as a cause why he lost a captain’s place, and the obstacle why he could not get his pay, being four score and odd pounds. Went together to the Windmill, where examinant read the Remonstrance to him, and Felton took it and carried it away."--_Vol. cxiv., No. 128._ "Sir Robert Savage committed to the Tower for saying that if Felton had not killed the Duke he would have done it."--_Vol. cxvi., No. 95, Sept. 10, 1628._ Report by Dr. Brian Duppa of an interview held by himself and others with John Felton in the Tower.
