Committee actions on regiments and debts in late war report
On June 27 the Committee recommitted the Report on the Petition of the Officers of the Regiments of Douglas Wood and Hamilton who served the States-General in the late War. The House approved resolutions: the States-General must pay the regiments per capitulation and officers receive prescribed interest for advances. The Committee may add clauses to reflect these resolutions. The Sufferers Bill clause on investing forfeited parsons estates faced debate led by Arthur Moore and Hungerford, with Jekyll and Lechmere replying. Trustee Lade signaled reluctance to serve amid anticipated difficulties.
