Petition against East India Company powers in Parliament
A parcel of 18th century petition language argues against a bill restraining the East India Company from appointing new commissioners. Petitioners defend their rights to regulate and supervise their Indian settlements, claim savings of public money, and warn the bill could threaten the Company’s credit and public faith. Reports also note parliamentary debates, prizes drawn, maritime letters, riots, and assorted notices.
