Move to repeal plague containment powers and bridge bill debate
The Historical Register records a motion to repeal parts of an Act granting removal of plague cases to ships lazarettos and around infected areas. After lengthy debate, the motion passed 40 to 0 in Parliament. Other measures include bills for a new Thames bridge, election freedoms, naval stores, and restoring Bridport harbours. The Lord Mayor and City petition prompted delaying the bridge bill.
