Dublin House Debates on Lord Mayor Selection and Army Prerogative
The House examined Mr. Francis North as a witness about reports to Lord Samuel Cook and Sir Constantine Phipps concerning the selection of a Lord Mayor for Dublin. North refused to answer questions about instructions or rewards and about attendance at Majesty's Council. The Assembly resolved, after Prorogation, that those who advised breaking the army and proroguing Parliament were enemies to the Protestant succession. The Archer Earl of Anglesty was named as a principal adviser. An address to remove him from the Council was planned. Advertisements promote Dr. T. Clark's Dublin cures with dramatic claims and offer medical notes and remedies. Notices invite letters and announce shop reopenings and sermons. The issue closes with a broad sale listing of military pay and war articles in Ireland.
