Lords and Commons Debate Corn Bill And Nootka Question
In the House of Commons on Friday Lord Apsley took his seat for Cirencester as the Scots distillery bill passed its third reading and Willis pension bill followed. Petitions against the corn bill were laid on the table, and the Tontine relief bill moved to committee. Mr Sheridan urged delaying a dangerous bill, while Mr Pitt pressed for full discussion and printing for members. The Corn Regulating bill report was deferred, and a committee was set to inspect Lords journals on Warren Lichtings impeachment. The American Loyalists relief bill passed, Major Scott's attendance prompted a dignified parliamentary sentence, and Mr Fox failed to secure a royal address on Nootka Sound. The House adjourned to Monday.
