House of Commons Jan 28 a bribery inquiry unfolds
Sir G Younge reports a deliberate attempt to intimidate a key witness in Hunston tied to a petition against a borough return. John Reid is brought to the bar after testimony that his brother in law offered a man a guinea and seven more to flee town and dodge summons. The House orders J B to attend Thursday night. Discussion follows on delaying the Admiralty inquiry as papers are deemed too voluminous and time to prepare.
