Petition Relates to Scottish Malt Tax Riots and Relief
The historian records a Petition before the House detailing riots in Scotland on the Malt Tax day, with property damage at a member of Parliament's house. It notes royal consent for the House to act and refers the petition to a committee for consideration and possible relief. A later petition from Sir Orlando Bridgman is also presented.
