Bill to empower royal leniency and adjust wartime finance
Fragment from The Historical Register describing parliamentary actions in May 1727. It notes a bill to enable the king, during Thomas Bambridge's life, to grant the Office of Warden of the Fleet and to incapacitate Bambridge. It also covers committee decisions on a corn and grain pricing bill and a clause allowing use of arrears from ancient duties to fund the crown, with a projected annual grant of 800,000 pounds.
