Oyster bill blocked in Lords as Richmond objects to single witness rule
In the House of Lords on Tuesday April 11 the decree in the Habane case was affirmed. The oyster fiery bill faced a first reading but was rejected after Duke of Richmond argued it allowed conviction by a single witness before a Justice of the Peace, depriving a jury trial. The session passed the bill to speed the Royal Navy, approved a corn export bounty, and committed other road and duties measures.
