Accused General Houston Case Readiness for Judgment
Mr Archer offered a paper on behalf of the accused for the house to consider before judgment. He argued the accused had the right to state contents, but chose to present it beforehand out of respect. Debate followed on whether reading the paper was proper and whether the accused possessed the right to protest the house’s competency to pronounce judgment.
