House of Commons Debates on American Rebellion Motion
In a lengthy committee session Sir Charles Whitworth led a speech urging forceful measures to enforce laws from the last Parliament on North America. The motion proposed a joint address to the throne, with plans to deploy fourteen frigates to Boston and ten thousand troops, plus extra seamen, to compel obedience. The division split 304 to 105 on an amendment, and 296 to 106 on the main address.
