Debate on Naval Seamen Reduction and Civil Establishment
In the House of Commons the Committee of Supply debated reducing the naval establishment by about 1000 men while preserving a marine corps. Members pressed for full naval estimates, criticized abrupt funding votes, and argued to avoid impressment by strengthening civilian and naval economies. The session closed with divisions and an adjournment to Monday after petitions and protest over the hurried vote.
