Session notes on Maroon Petition and Supply Bill in Parliament
In the House of Commons the Committee of the Whole postponed consideration of the Finance Report and Holidays Bill. Walpole moved to present an address about the Maroon petition, which Dundas questioned, while Walpole claimed he had delivered it to the Duke of Portland. After discussion, the motion to lay the petition before the King was agreed to, with further motions on Maroon treaty texts postponed. A Traitorous Correspondence Bill provision was debated, and the Committee of Supply was formed to grant funds to the Board of Agriculture for 1798, with the report to be received tomorrow and the Committee to reconvene Friday.

Committees seek to oust Moderates and install Jacobin loyalists, rewarding late Batavian Legion members for their Revolutionary service. Across departments similar changes loom as French troops advance.
