	Judicial functions of the House of Lords - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Parliament originally did not hear appeals as a court might; rather, it heard petitions for the judgments of lower courts to be reversed.
		At first, the Clerk of the Parliaments would bring petitions to the House, and the whole House could decide if they should or should not be referred to the Committee.
		After the Parliament reassembled in 1677, the cases involving members of the House of Commons were quietly dropped and neither House revisited the dispute.
