On September 24, Speaker of the House, Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, initiated the session with these words, emphasizing the urgent need to not waste time and to proceed with the already delayed necessary reforms for national defense and fiscal matters.

The specific content of Speaker Małachowski's address is detailed on pages 387-387v.

Secretary Mr. Jan Łuszczewski began by reading Point 3 of the Treasury Commission's note regarding increasing the sums formerly belonging to the Galician clergy. Following this, he read the Commission's judgment titled: "Permission to raise funds - &."

When Speaker Małachowski asked for consent, Representative Józef Mierzejewski from Podolia intervened:

"I must speak on this matter. If we allow the Treasury Commission to raise all these sums from the remaining Galician clergy, we would not only oppress our citizenry, since many would be forced to pay capital and could be driven to poverty, but we would also reduce the budget for the Army, which these revenues from the Vienna Convention were designated for. Therefore, I insist we should not allow the increase of these sums, as it would detract from the permanent fund for the Army."

Representative Michał Strasz from Sandomierz proposed an amendment stating that clerical funds mortgaged or secured on peasant farms, and brought into Poland proper, should not burden Polish lands and handed the matter over to the Treasury Commission for consideration.

Representative Wojciech Suchodolski from Chełm firmly stated the necessity of rejecting the proposal concerning the raising of church funds, insisting that these funds had already been allocated to the Army and therefore should not be diverted for other uses. He emphasized that any decision against this would be seen as a breach of trust by the citizens whose properties are burdened by these sums.

Representative Józef Radzimiński from Gniezno argued for balancing the Treasury by raising these sums, ensuring that both internal and external debts could be effectively managed for the good of the nation.

Overall, the session continued with lively debate on national financial strategy, emphasizing the importance of commitment to military funding and the prudent management of church assets. The speakers demonstrated a stringent approach to upholding the law and ensuring efficient use of funding for the benefit of the Army and the nation's security.

The Treasury Secretary's report was followed by other proposed laws and amendments, with various Representatives voicing their concerns and suggestions.

The session ended with an adjournment and plans to continue discussions on the following day.
