| Date | 24 April 1793 |
| Description | Informs Banks that William Windham MP has put off the report of the Committee on Mudge's Petition and his motion for a Select Committee to hear evidence on both sides, until 29th April.
Thomas Mudge petitioned Parliament after his Father's instrument to determine Longitude was awarded £500. Mudge believed it should have claimed the higher sums offered by the Board of Longitude and blamed Nevil Maskelyne for this. |
