Merits of the Clothier's Letter in the Gazetteer Debate
In London a debated reply to the Clothier's letter argues against universal registry for wool export controls, noting Parliament's past resolutions favoring a registry to curb wool running. The piece defends liberty of subject while acknowledging risks, and cites Ireland and France as factors in wool trade shifts. It also reports parliamentary shuffles, South Sea dividends, ship arrivals, marriages, legal actions, and royal licences, framing a broad view of current affairs.
