In the House of Commons a motion to publish the witness list for treason trials faces opposition as legal nuance and jury impartiality are debated. Advocates insist a complete list is necessary to uphold justice, while critics warn of prejudicing jurors. The motion is ultimately withdrawn after lengthy exchanges.
The Commons presented Right Hon. Charles Manners Sutton for Royal approbation as Speaker. The Prince Regent, via commission, directs the Lords to notify approval of Sutton chosen by the Commons. The commission was read as part of the ceremony.
The House of Lords debates the Prince Regent's approval of a new Speaker choice, the elevation of Charles Abbot as Lord Colchester, and measures on Habeas Corpus as Lord Sidmouth and Grey clash over reporting, committees, and the state of Ireland. The session also considers a royal message about public tranquility and the handling of a recent newspaper-implied accusation, with calls for cautious, precedent-rich action.
