Privy Council Notes:
- The EPC wrote to the Irish Lords Justices and Privy Council on 18 Nov. 'that the bill for encouragement of the linen and hempen manufacture transmitted by your lordships, having been under consideration of the lords justices and council here during the king's absence; and having been likewise laid before his majesty in council since his return; it has not been thought fit to approve thereof, for that the bill is so far from answering the design expressed in the title that if it should pass into a law it would prove a total discouragement to the effectual setting up of the linen manufacture in Ireland. We having thus given your lordships this intimation why this bill is not remitted, we do very earnestly recommend to your lordships as a matter of the highest consequence both to the kingdoms of England and Ireland that some good bill may be prepared for the effectual setting up and carrying on this manufacture, in order to be passed into a law before the conclusion of this session if possible.' (PC 2/77, p. 126).
