Debate over Habeas Corpus suspension in 1795 Parliament
In a heated session spanning December to early January, peers argued over government plans to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act amid nationwide unrest linked to postwar distress. Ministers faced opposition from Lords urging restraint, with figures like Earl Liveroot and Lord Wellesley warning of civil liberty risks, while others supported strong measures to quell conspiracies. The bill passed on third reading by a large majority as strife and loyalties defined the era.
