The contents are as follows:

(i) Speech made by John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich (folio 1); a slightly different version follows (folio 59);

(ii) Speech made by Charles Pratt, Earl Camden (folio 91);

(iii) Part of a speech made by William Murray, Earl of Mansfield (folio 138), with a fragment of an unidentified speech, possibly another portion of Lord Mansfield's speech (folio 161).

With the exception of the first version of Lord Sandwich's speech, these were probably transcripts made by reporters present at the debate.
