Talk:Haxey's case

Established the right to free speech within Parliament?
That is the claim in the first line. But it is not really made clear from body of the article that this was the outcome. Haxey was convicted, then pardoned, then Parliament declared the prosecution was '…against the law and custom which had been before in Parliament'. Is it this latter declaration which 'Established the right to free speech within Parliament?' The declaration itself suggests the privilege goes back further. Some clarification is needed.
