{ANNE, 1701--1714} DISAGREEMENT ON THE SUBJECT OF THE AYLESBURY CONSTABLES.
While the house of commons, in two successive addresses, thanked the queen for the treaty which the duke of Marlborough had concluded with Prussia concerning the troops to be sent to the duke of Savoy, and desired she would use her interest with the allies that they might next year furnish their complete proportions of men by sea and land; the lords examined into all the proceedings at sea and all the instructions of the admiralty, and presented an address to the queen, explaining all the different articles of mismanagement.

She promised to consider them particularly, and give such directions upon them as might be most for the advantage of the public service.
