Today's Congress session began with Speaker Stanisław Małachowski expressing concerns over the lack of significant progress on a critical financial bill under discussion.

Secretary Jan Łuszczewski continued the reading of a proposal detailing how previously granted lands should be managed in various cases, referencing payment arrangements agreed upon with specific individuals, such as Antonina Rzewuska.

Representative Józef Leszczyński from Rawa Mazowiecka rose to emphasize the past failures of the Union when compassion overruled justice. He asserted that merit-based rewards had strayed from their intended purpose, often favoring the already powerful or corrupt over the truly deserving.

Discussion moved forward involving reclaimed lands and the delicate handling of highly influential benefices. These benefices were typically granted as a form of reward, though they were supposed to be off-limits to members of the clergy. Representative Leszczyński argued in favor of evaluating each case individually, noting an instance that should not be generalised with others.

Representative Józef Radzimiński from Gniezno pushed for a proposition to establish a commission for the assessment of grants given in 1775, which Secretary Łuszczewski subsequently read. Speaker Małachowski declared that this proposal should be discussed point by point.

Wojciech Suchodolski, representing Chełm, spoke about the vast consequences of the 1775 court system implementations, strongly urging for careful handling of private claims against the Union.

Michał Czacki from Chernihiv countered, emphasizing the need to address the Union's significant financial claims and losses and the necessity of establishing a commission to review such matters carefully.

As the debates continued with many reinforcing the criticality of the situation and seeking effective resolutions, the possibility of determining an appropriate commission or alternative measures for asset management and oversight was considered.

The day's proceedings included a wide spectrum of opinions, focusing on the need for justice regarding the Union's finances, property rights, and the careful examination of prior land grants and exchanges.

As the session drew to a close without reaching decisions on several contentious issues, King Stanisław August Poniatowski adjourned the meeting to the following day, with the hope of more productive discussions to come.
