Bill to curb bankrupt frauds and mutiny relief debate
The House discussed a bill to prevent frauds by bankrupts after Davy's reprimand and release from custody. A petition from London's Lord Mayor Aldermen and Common Council led to orders for a bill to curb bankrupt frauds. A committee was empowered to examine witnesses and records. A bill for punishing mutiny and improving army pay was read. A petition by Sir Nicholas Zenpert asked for relief on a lease dispute. Craggs reported the king’s nod to relief as the House considers further steps.
