East India Stock Court Hears Trade and Pension Plans
A General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock met at the Company's House. Proposals to Parliament for a Bill to place the Marine on a footing with the Army were discussed. The last half year dividend was set at 5 percent. The court debated pensions, appeals for Mr George Paterson to return to Bombay, and considered actions related to illicit trade allegations against David Scott and Co. The session ended with a vote on a bill of inquiry, which was carried unanimously. A later note reports a large crowd pursuing a troublesome greyhound near Wooler, Northumberland.
