Relating to the abandoned nationalization bill of 1751. "In the year 1751, a Naturalization Bill was again brought before Parliament, and received the earnest support of Lord Chatham, then Mr. Pitt. It passed through a committee of this House without much opposition, when, the Session of Parliament being hurried to a close in consequence of the sudden death of the heir to the Throne —the father of George 3rd — the bill was abandoned, and it has never since been revived."—Hanzard.
