Oaths Bill debates and passages in Lords and Commons
London March 17. The bill to explain and amend the oath act faced extensive discussion in the Lords with arguments over penalties and exemptions for various classes including women and those with estates. The Commons passed the measure after divisions, and provisions were added to extend or limit obligations for registering lands and names with penalties for evasion. A notice from Paris notes the Pope’s death and Cardinal Rohan’s election prospects. A real estate ad for Purefoy’s Place in County Kildare invites bids for town plots, dwellings, fields, and mills with terms lasting a life or years.
