It orders the Address be delivered by Privy Council members and assigns leaders to draft a Heads of Bill against forestakers and ingrossers to regulate bread. Mercury, November 26, 1729, notes committee findings on reviving expiring laws, endorsing continuance with amendments for militia, coastal shipping, lands tied to barracks and lighthouses, and goods restriction.
