Royal Assent Granted To Land Tax Aid For Year Vin A
In a grand committee the Mutiny Bill and naturalization papers were debated. The King granted Royal Assent to an act for raising a land tax to aid the Crown, enabling settlements for Darcy Dawes and Mrs. Sarah Roundell upon marriage. The House also settled electoral disputes about Philip Anstruther and David Scott, with costs awarded. A report on the Harburgh lotteries was delayed due to illness, with a motion to empower a subset of the committee.
