Writs for King’s Lynn Burgess and Seaford Baron
April 3 session orders the Speaker to issue warrants for two new writs one electing a Burgess for the Borough of King’s Lynn in Norfolk replacing Robert Walpole and the other electing a Baron for the Town of Seaford in Sussex replacing Henry Pelham Elys. The House also considers Lownds bill for relief to South Sea sufferers and revokes leave absences ordering attendance Friday.
