Revival of the Triennial Act Debate at Greenlaw Meeting
In Berwickshire a large Freeholders assembly at Greenlaw discussed reforming Parliament. John Swinton urged annual or triennial parliaments, strict qualifications for MPs, a proper parliamentary allowance, and limiting terms to nine years. The motion was postponed for further advisement. Edinburgh reports note Duke of Argyll's London journey, deaths, shipwrecks, severe cold, and theft recoveries, including Clinton’s goods and Captain Ord’s property. A French commander aboard the Ruby Man of War reportedly shot himself aboard King Road.
