Navy funding debate: 1774 supply bill approved in committee
The House, after private bills and petitions, moved to a Navy and marine service supply debate. Buller urged a grant not exceeding 444,448 pounds for 1774, citing high costs from hiring, repairs, and pay. Burke and Dowdeswell questioned the necessity, while Phipps and Townsend defended Admiralty efficiency and readiness. The committee's motion was carried without division, and the House adjourned.
