Footmen Disorder and Secrecy Report Debate in Parliament
In 1721 the House dealt with footmen disobedience, Serjeant at Arms custody, and a motion for royal access to abroad advices on bringing Robert Knight to justice. The House ordered custody for suspects, later discharged with fees, and debated Secrecy Committee reports. An address to the King sought information from abroad on Knight’s case.
