Twenty Wircball Preachers and Royal Chaplains Expence Dispute
A London petition to Parliament protests the burden of maintaining royal chaplains and the two month preaching duty, while others serve at personal cost. It details colonial trade tensions with Spain, seizures of South Sea Company assets, and calls for secure navigation and reparations. Also notes peerage actions, court trials, clerical appointments, and local incidents from 1718 to 1727.
