Opposition to East India loan bill at Leadenhall meeting
A large gathering of Eng-India flock proprietors at Leadenhall Street discussed steps taken by the Directors against the recent East India bill. Gov. Johnstone and Duke of Richmond urged opposing clauses, warning of ministerial traps, while the Chairman and Directors sought to defend the Company’s rights and petition Parliament for relief and rejections. The Court also moved to appoint General Monckton as Commander in Chief of Company forces, and approved petitions to withdraw and refile against the loan provisions and regulation bill.
