Debates on Papists Lands and War Ships in Parliament
The House debated seizing all Papists and recusants native to the realm for royal use and referred the matter to a committee. A Hague letter said Queen plans private Ireland voyage amid Orange-States tensions. Letters urged restricting Irish ships and a pacification declaration was prepared. Reports also noted Hartford’s private arrest and Bedford warrants raising troops. Kesley and Stradhag pirates captured with their ships.
