Militia Bill Debated Over Three Year Service Term
The House of Commons debated amending the militia bill with Lord Nugent proposed to shift from sixteen months to three years of service if the war with France and Spain continues. Speakers argued for longer service to ensure trained forces, criticized government conduct, and discussed offers to raise regiments. The motion passed, militia to be raised for three years, bill engrossed, then sent to the Lords.

Stamp Duties Clarified by Commissioners Prohibit Excess Charges
A historic notice from His Majesty's Commissioners for stamp duties announces new rules to curb overcharging by attorneys and solicitors for engraving parchment deeds and related instruments. The measure sets charges by the number of sheets or fines rather than inflated counts, with penalties of ten pounds plus treble costs for violators, and clarifies that engraving limits apply to parchment sheets as defined by the law.
