The proposed general Index to the Journals of the House
of Commons has two principal objects in view.
First, It specifies and refers to every case,* whether of a public
or private nature, that has come before the House either

of subject matter, standing in alphabetical order; which
Heads we have endeavoured to reduce to as small a number
as possible; that all those Cases which have any
connexion with each other may be brought together, and
seen at one view. Thus all Cases of controverted Election
will be classed under the general Head "Elections —
Controverted." all Privilege Cases under "Privilege"; every
Proceeding that relates to members will be found under the
* note.

By the term, Case, in the course of this observation we
understand any matter or business of any kind upon which
there has been any Proceeding. Thus Accounts ordered
to be referred, or lie upon the Table, Addresses to be
presented and the like, are included in this Idea, as -
well as, what are more properly so called, Cases of Election,
Privilege, Inclosure etc. And we consider the whole
matter or substance of the Journals as made up of
and consequently resolvable into so many distinct
and separate Cases.
