Parliamentary Discourse on Finance and Abolition Motion
The House debated the Bank crisis and ministry blame, with Duke of Bedford assailing ministers and urging constitutional safeguards. The Earl of Guildford and others defended administration while Mr Hawkins Browne pressed the slave trade bill, with Wilberforce reiterating abolition as humanity’s duty and Parliament’s trust. The debate moved to vote, with the abolition measure facing defeat and adjournment before later peace preliminaries with France emerged.
