Debated examination of ordnance frauds and Buckingham gains
The debate centers on gunpowder shortages and offset savings claimed by Lord Buckingham, including accusations of fraud and mismanagement in ordnance. Mr Mason defends Mr Orde’s pension, traces clerical salaries since 1749, and argues pensions have risen under parliamentary generosity, not government excess, urging restraint within the pension bill limits.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Addresses Revenue Arrears and Lottery Plan
The Chancellor explains arrears on establishments at Lady Day and Michaelmas totaling about 23,000 and 149,000 respectively. He blames seasonal revenue, Parliament grants, and rising government costs. A lottery could cover midsummer prizes and reduce arrears by about 70,000, with no need for loans or new taxes. He cites tax shortfalls and increased bounty payments as key factors.
