Table Of Fees to be Demanded and Taken by Officers and Servants of the House of Commons, 1813

A large, poster-style table of the fees and dues to be paid by those seeking services or incurring penalties – such as for the trials of controversial elections by select committees, depositing of private bills, for taking knights and gentleman into custody etc, from the House of Commons in 1813. Some terms in the table reflect the Norman French language then used in the Commons (and still used in the House of Lords today to some degree). Ordered to be printed by the House of Commons in July 1813. Very good condition, clean, neat (folded) with just a little spotting. UK parliamentary papers from this era are rare – there was no provision to sell to the public prior to 1830 and, even so, documents of this sort where only ever ephemeral.
