The Affair Over Estates and Forfeitures Debate in Parliament
The Historical Register reports a heated session as Lord Molesworth and others clash over confiscating estates. Motions to alter the clause were debated, with divisions over end aims, and a proposed clause to exempt the Harland House jewels, gardens, and goods. The discussion on trustees versus direct forfeiture continued into the next day with large sums debated for Muliet and other claims.
