East India Company by law dispute over directors contracts
In a lengthy debate the Proprietors examine a by law barring directors from certain contracts and consider a revision to exclude contractors from electing directors. Crichton and others push to withdraw the proposed clause while arguing about legality and independence from Crown influence amid parliamentary notices and proposed negotiations for renewed talks with the Company.
Debate On Company Agreement With Public Over Trade Rights
In a lengthy session Mr Widmore moved that the Chairman and Deputy Chairman should visit Lord North to propose a six step basis for an agreement: extend the company's exclusive trade for 14 years, pay one million to the public over twelve months, adjust dividend shares 1 and 7 percent to the company and public respectively, with residuals shared. The proposal sparked a debate over ministers and future parliaments, with General Smith and Mr Fitzgerald arguing the minister should propose any fresh terms. Widmore refused to withdraw, the previous question carried, and the court adjourned as attendance waned and several director candidates were absent.
