Debates Over Treating Act and Election Validity in Parliament
In the Norwich case the Treating Act’s reach and the House’s stance on ineligibility are debated. Mr Whitbread suggested allowing a Bill to clarify the law, while Mr Thornton criticized partial enforcement and described evasion tactics. Tierney denounces the petition as forged, while accusations of candor and fairness dominate the exchange. The session also advances several bills on warrants, attorneys’ clerks, and corporate trials before adjourning.
