The Lords protest on a motion to address His Majesty : that His Majesty will be most graciously pleased to give orders that the 16,000 Hanoverians, now in the pay of Great Britain, be no longer continued in the service of this nation after the 25th of this instant December, thereby to put a stop to the jealousies and heartburnings among His Majesty's faithful subjects at home, and His Majesty's British forces abroad : die veneris 9no decembris, 1743. - George II, King of Great Britain, 1683-1760 (Making of the modern world (Goldsmiths'-Kress Library of Economic Literature), 1743)
