Following the usual opening remarks by Speaker Stanisław Małachowski, yesterday's draft legislation continued, refined by suggestions from Under Secretary of State Jan Łuszczewski. Senator Jacek Jezierski from Łuków briefly explained his concern about certain private interests that might be affected by this draft, suggesting that specific case numbers may resolve the objection raised by the Representative from Chełm.

Bishop Kasper Cieciszowski from Kyiv defended the clergy's contributions to past taxes and hoped for the Union's consideration towards the regions affected by lost ecclesiastical lands.

The Representative from Kalisz proposed excluding certain church properties in Poland-Ukraine from the tax law.

Under Secretary of State Jan Łuszczewski then read the amended draft regarding the properties lost beyond the border, confirmed diplomatically in 1773 and allocated to governance by Prince Michał Poniatowski, the Lithuanian-Belarussian Secretary of State, in 1776, stating they should be reclaimed by the Union's Treasury but exempt from affecting certain church benefices within Poland-Ukraine.

After reading the amendment, the Representative from Chełm objected, while the Bishop of Smolensk cited the historical grant of a village church to the Tyniec Abbey and the care delivered by Benedictine priests there. He argued that neither the Presidential approval nor the notable services of a deserving man such as Sierakowski should come into jeopardy.

Prince Kazimierz Sapieha, Speaker of the Confederation, alongside the Representatives from Kalisz and Łomża, stood by Sierakowski. However, with many Representatives disagreeing, Jan Suchorzewski from Kalisz reiterated that further delays could lead to the Union's embarrassment before Europe if military taxes are not established. He called for a vote on whether to include or exclude the amendment.

Extensive debates on multiple requests for amendments followed. With no unanimous agreement, Speaker Stanisław Małachowski sought to streamline a vote, which was finally agreed upon by all, deciding to secure the church properties based on proposals by the Kalisz Representative.

The session was then adjourned by Polish-Ukrainian Under Secretary of State Maciej Garnisz until Thursday at 10 a.m.
