Riot and Malt Act Debate in Glasgow Town Hall
The House reports on Daniel Campbell petition amid a riot in Glasgow on the malt duty day. It notes damage to Campbell’s house and belongings, calls for redress, and refers further discussion to a committee of the whole on the Malt Bill with new clauses to fund trade, address the Union treaty price of ale, adjust duties, and aid those whose Exchequer documents were burned.
