Ordinance and Foreign Alarm Prompt Parliamentary Action
The text describes a proposed Ordinance to convert the Merchant Adventurers into a Society with parliamentary confirmation and full authority under royal assent. It reports a committee recommendation to set wine retail rates for Vintners based on excise duties, with Spanish wine at 14 pence and French wine at 8 pence per quart. It also notes a conference about a letter from the French ambassador regarding Walter Moxxrague and a decision to detain him. A joint Lords Commons committee is formed to prepare replies and secure royal approval.
