Parliamentary Proceedings on Dyers and Woollen Trade Bills
The House examined reports from Sir Richard Hopkins on a bill to prevent frauds in the dying trade and a bill for better regulation of the woollen manufacture. A resolution directed 14,9357 to be applied to the Land-Tax arrears to raise royal supply. Debates covered Exchequer bills, sinking fund uses, and transportation laws for felons, with memorials from M. de Palm discussed and restricted access to the chamber.
