Impeachment Proceedings and Bills in Early Parliament
The Historical Register records the House of Commons impeaching Thomas Earl of Macclesfield for high crimes and misdemeanors and preparing Articles. It notes a committee drawing up charges, and a motion to indemnify Masters of Chancery for payments tied to office admissions. A bill to indemnify Chancery Masters passes first and second readings and proceeds to the Lords. The period also covers elections regulation in London and fiscal inquiries by Customs and Navy on Russian stores and British plantation imports.
