Petition for Stamp Duty repeal by Birmingham inhabitants
An 1819 Birmingham meeting unanimously adopts resolutions urging the House to repeal the Stamp Duty on newspapers and all press fetters. Petitioners argue the tax misuses the press to keep the people ignorant, urge incumbents Attwood and Scholefield to present the plea, and honor MPs who push press liberty. They call for immediate repeal and for releasing those jailed for press violations.

Debates Over Timber Duties Evidence Alterations
A House discussion centers on the alterations to select committee timber duties evidence. Mr. Young accuses Warburton and allies of unfairly modifying notes and omitting testimony, calling for verbatim printing alongside the published report in parallel columns. Warburton denies misrepresentation, arguing the changes were to reflect committee wishes and insists no new facts were added.
