Petition to Place Major Icy Parcell on Establishment Half Pay
The Historical Register notes recommendations to the Lord Lieutenant for Major Icy Parcell to be placed on half pay or provided for, with the matter referred to a committee. The House approved the Exchequer bill heads granting additional duties on beer wine and spirits, plus a salary tax, and ordered Privy Council attendance. A petition by merchants sought relief from fraudulent practices affecting Indian Silk trade and was referred. The committee reported success for Parcell and the House agreed, ordering Privy Council members to attend the Lord Lieutenant.
