Public Liberty and Habeas Corpus Debate in Parliament
A London letter discusses a Commons inquiry into an act for the relief of impressment abuses and speedy habeas corpus remedies. It argues that extending the writ to all illegal imprisonments protects liberties while the war requires a workable press system. It notes transports for the West Indies, ship movements, and notable civil events and appointments.
