Debated inquiry in the Commons over Chester assay abuses

A Friday debate in the Commons reviews an assay master’s conduct. Members argue about deputy appointments, minutes, and questions asked during evidence. The Lord Mayor and MPs defend or oppose motions as concern grows over misgovernment and parish annuities.

An Enquiry on Parish Annuities and Provisions Policy

A letter to the Evening Post argues against a bill enabling parish officers to grant annuities to the poor. It warns annuities would discourage work and ruin marriage plans, urging focus on increasing land cultivation and reforming king forests to ensure real, lasting abundance. It suggests commissions to settle rights and reallocate lands to promote employment and cheaper provisions.

Plan for dividing and cultivating crown lands

The proposal outlines allotting hundreds of acres to farmers, with conditions to develop and cultivate the land within set years. It favors mixed classes of farmers, encourages auctions for 100 acre lots, grants long leases, and exempts some rents to promote cattle and arable use while protecting Crown interests and preventing monopoly by the rich.
