Jamaica Petition on Table Delivers Attack Defence Debate
The Lords debated a Jamaica petition from planters and merchants warning that the island has not been protected and that defence has depended on luck. Marquis of Rockingham pressed that a full account be laid before Parliament. Onslow and others argued ministers failed to provide adequate forces, fortifications, and stores. The discussion touched on Governor Dalling, Lord Cornwallis, and the need for sea and land forces to defend Jamaica against French and Spanish threats. The question was to place the petition on the table for future consideration as ministers defend their actions.
