Debates Over Private Papers in Selby Navigation Case
Long session in the Commons on a motion to withhold from the Selby canal committee minutes and private books of the Ayr and Calder navigation proprietor. Sir Richard Sutton argues for privacy, while Sir George Savile and others warn of dangerous precedents and advocate access to papers for public information. The dispute centers on whether private ledgers may be summoned and the impact on property rights and Tythe calculations.
