Ancient Parliament Proceedings On Stranger Custody And Writs
The House orders the Sergeant at Arms to seize any stranger or intruder in the House or Gallery while fitting and forbids members from bringing strangers therein. It discusses candidate qualification proofs, petitions, and deadlines, including paper filings with the Clerk of the House. Writs are urged for new elections in Andover and Haverford, with notices to the Clerk of the Crown and Speaker. Reports from Customs Commissioners on prohibited East India goods and naval stores are presented, alongside Leicester and Cumberland county matters and warrants for returning knights.
