Excerpt from Grants, Etc. From the Crown During the Reign of Edward the Fifth: From the Original Docket-Book, Ms. Harl. 433, and Two Speeches for Opening Parliament, by John Russell, Bishop of Lincoln, Lord Chancellor Ryvers was sent a prisoner to the North. On the 4th of May the young King was brought to London, and lodged in the Bishop's palace near St. Paul's. The same day, being the first Sunday in May, and the anniversary of that Palm-sunday which had established his father on the throne, had been originally fixed by the Council in London for his coronation;' but now that solemnity was deferred to some future day. To the period of the King's residence in the Bishop of London's palace, which lasted until about the 19th of May, belong some of the earliest entries in this volume, which are apparently minutes of documents ordered to be issued by the Council, and their value is increased from the circumstance that no Register of the Privy Coun cil at this period has been preserved.
