The House of Lords and House of Commons discuss the 1785 budget, King’s Letter Money, and taxes with focus on the 4s 6d duty and its effects on the public. Lord Mourighint and others urge restraint, deferring more bills, and critique the rapid tax increases affecting trade, property, and the poor. Discussions verge on roads in Dublin and anxieties about pensions and expenditure.
