Debates on reforming offices and trimming public expense dominate sessions. Ministers push retrenchment and a committee inquiry, while opponents urge careful action and warn against overreaching reductions.
Royal and civic calls fill this fragmentary page with an Annual General meeting, coroner elections, and a lottery pitch. It notes a Lancaster County coroner vacancy, candidacy appeals from Milne and relatives, magistrates’ endorsement, Navy Club events, and an auction listing in Manchester with grand interiors and valuables.
