Commons Delays In Speech Committee Proceeds With Bills
An 18th century parliamentary record notes the Committee on the Paragraph in the King's Speech deferring until Friday. The House printed the committee's Amay and Navy business, discharged an order, and deferred petition considerations for Downton. Dudley Ryder moves to continue last session's act on organzine import, Hobart introduces a bill, and Malt Duty and Land Tax bills advance. Militia and gamekeeper provisions are discussed with claims about deputations and liability, and the session adjourns.
