Parliamentary Appeal for Limiting Place-men and Repealing Septennial Act
The piece reports a public call urging MPs to pursue a bill reducing the number of place-men in the House of Commons, repeal the Septennial Act, and reject votes of credit. It notes resignations, marriages, deaths, and various court and civic notices, plus embargos and parliamentary circuits, with reflections on nobility and charity amid a harsh winter.
