Campbell writes discussing the events in Parliament revolving around the arrested Captain Kidd. He mentions a nine hour debate and the Earl of Bellomont's being charged with "Obtaining a Comision for Capt Kidd Contrary to the Laws." However, being made to understand that it was Bellomont who had secured Kidd's arrest, Parliament allowed Bellomont's transgressions to be overlooked. Docketed on address leaf.
