Parliamentary dispute over Boston town house court agenda
In 1728 the Massachusetts House and Board clash over dissolving the Court and reopening public business. The House insists on fixing the May 1698 and Cambridge 1721 decisions, while the Board vetoes, urging timely public affairs and treasury compliance amid delays and dissent. The exchange includes Decembris 13 1728 signatures and a formal Board message from Dec 12 1728.
