Debate on a Paper's Publication and Press Liberty
In a detailed session, Tierney defends press freedom while resisting answering a probing question about an editor linked to treason.

The Land Tax renewal and finance measures prompt sharp clashes over who bears burdens and the theory of perpetuating taxes to fund the state.
