Debates in the Commons on taxes and petitions
The House debated warehouse and house and window duties, with Mr. Rice deferring legal questions to the twelve judges. Petitions were presented from Cambridge inhabitants, Perthshire abolitionists, Pitcairn against corn laws, Thames coal-heaters, juvenile confinement, and BP Bromley Irish poor. Discussions covered magistrates’ powers, repeal of taxes, Catholic marriage laws, Sabbath observance, and distress among agricultural workers. Polish restoration and monetary system criticisms were voiced, with calls to curb foreign competition and support for broader tax relief and land allotments.
