Debating if Parliament should nominate commissioners
Lord North argued the commission of accounts might include both MPs and non MPs. After a heated exchange with Byng Townshend and Barre, the House voted 195 to 172 to keep Sir Guy Carleton but later withdrew Mr Goldby. The session adjourned to consider a bill for reconciliation with America.
