Parliamentary debate over Indian trade and Ordnance funding
In the House of Commons Major Stanhope takes his seat for Brauber in Sultix amid a discussion on import duties of East India goods. Lords and MPs debate petitions, hawking, and relief for the poor, with scrutiny of the Ordnance budget and a call to recommit the report on fortifications and saltpetre contracts, while signatures on a petition prompt cross remarks about mercantile gain and government oversight. The session ends with votes on the Ordnance payments, and the house adjourns.
