Debate on Tobacco Bill and Hastings Impeachment Sparks House Action
Discussions in the House of Commons focus on the tobacco tax bill and the demand for information from manufacturers. Mr. Pitt questions the ministry while Mr. Sheridan defends the bill’s principles, and a petition regarding Captain Williams over Hastings impeachment is debated and rejected. Further notes cover Canada governance, the Gazetteer controversy, and related parliamentary motions.
