In a tense Commons mood, MPs clash over reporting taxes to fund the war. Turner and others warn against further levies while petitions from England’s people demand redress. Sir Cecil Wray and Lord North press for timely action, with Conway cautioning against weakening government. The vote on adjournment fails and the House proceeds with the malt tax debate and various tax heads. The scene closes with a city message praising Earl of Shelburne amid renewed calls for his safety.
