Debates on Privy Purse Finances and Impeachment Steps
The Historical Register notes a House of Commons move to demand an account of monies paid from Exchequer Excise Customs and Post Office for Privy Purse Secret Service pensions and bounties from 1711 to 1725. It also mentions Earl of Macclesfield’s April 8 Lords answer to impeachment articles and the Commons committee’s consideration.
