Land Tax Bill Proceedings and Cambridge Petition Debated
The Commons read the Land Tax Bill a second time on November 6 and committed it to the Committee of the Whole. They thanked Dr. Burscough for a sermon. On November 7 a Cambridge University petition sought tax relief and equalization with the town, which the House rejected. November 8 saw writs ordered for Westminster and Warwick elections as committees advanced supply measures. Resolutions directed Arrears funds toward supply and extended malt and cider duties to 1724. A Cambridge mayoral petition followed on November 12.
