Contested Bill Debate and Early Parliamentary Proceedings
The article describes a heated debate on a Bill aimed at safeguarding the Constitution by limiting royal prerogative abuses. Lords express concerns about disrupting other business, while Duke of COM offers cautious optimism. The bill passes through committee, is reported by Earl of Clarendon, and moves toward the Lords’ third reading before being sent to the Commons. The Commons arrange new elections including a burgess for Aldborough and a knight of the shire for Surrey.
