Regulating Officers and Navy Orders Debated in Commons
The Commons debated appointing officers for Lord Generall Army regiments and the Navy, agreeing on colonels and leaving captains to the lord’s choice. They passed an ordinance for Lake Peecer, confirmed capture of ships by Jordaine and Jordan, with prize value around 50000 pounds. A committee was tasked to review ship lists and officer placements, while Sir William Waller’s command and supply efforts were discussed amid preparations to join forces at Winchester.
