Parliament Proceedings and Bills on Trade and Wages
The Commons debated malt import clauses, duties on coal, Bermuda lands, and St Christopher, then ordered writs for borough and shire elections. A bill to curb frivolous arrests passed after amendments. April sessions featured petitions on woollen manufacturing abuses and a brick and tile making bill. Road repair bills dominated the next day’s agenda.
