Fragmented Petition and Trade Measures From Early 18th Century Commons
A garbled record details petitions and parliamentary actions including permission to present a petition, appointments of officers, and proposed postal and tariff changes. Names such as the Duke of Ormonde, Lord Grantham, and Lord Dartmouth appear amid discussions of military supply, governance in Ireland, and postal rates to London and colonies. Several committees and orders touch on appointing magistrates, addressing public goods, and regulating letters and packets.
