Bill to forfeit Bolingbroke lands debated in Parliament
A debate on a bill to forfeit the late Lord Bolingbroke’s lands and apply the value to the public ends with strong cautions about pardons and future security. Lords and MPs argue the Treasons, attainder, and impeachment as the basis, warning that passing the bill could undermine parliamentary justice and the Revolution settlements. The discussion covers mercy, rights of impeachment, and the government’s power to dispense mercy. Several ports, ships, and stock market notes follow in the broader bericht.
