2. Dined and Spent the Evening at Mrs. Campbells.
On this day GW was appointed to a committee of three to consider a proposed amendment to the act regarding deer hunting and the control of hounds. Today also a report was submitted from the committee on Philip Hand’s claim to which GW had been appointed on 4 Mar. Hand’s petition, the committee found, was reasonable, and the house promptly approved giving him £6 for “his present Relief” and an annuity of £5 for life (, 1770–72, 290–91).
