Equalisation of Duties on East India Produce Debate
In Parliament the debate on duties on East India produce continues with Lord Brougham presenting a petition from planters and others urging genuine equalisation of duties. The discussion touches colonial rum effects on sugar production, slave labor concerns, and petitions from working men for the People’s Charter and release of political offenders. The Duke of Wellington’s illness is noted, and a series of motions and reports on South Australia, Syria operations, and the Copyright Bill are addressed, with many speeches praising naval actions and urging prudence and unity.
