Speaker Mr. Stanisław Małachowski opened the session on a somber note due to personal grief. But given pressing matters, he swiftly passed the floor to Secretary Jan Łuszczewski.

The Secretary read an amendment stating that local congresses can start sessions at nine in the morning. This proposal was unanimously agreed upon.

The debate continued to the ringing of church bells. Representative Stanisław Sołtyk from Krakow suggested all churches should ring bells to gather the scattered nobility, especially in large areas like Krakow.

There was unanimous agreement that bell ringing before the start of the local congress session is to last until eight o'clock.

Representative Józef Mierzejewski from Podolia proposed that the session can extend beyond three o'clock if voting had already started by that time.

Under Secretary of Treasury for Lithuania-Belarus, Antoni Dziekoński, countered with a suggestion to extend sessions till nine at night, warning against potential citizen disputes.

The Congress also deliberated legacies and how best to facilitate civil and rational discourse during these local assemblies.

Representative Maurycy Karp passionately argued that local congresses are the bastions of liberty, but had also become nests for crime and violence, eroding civic spirit and freedom.

The Secretary of State for Lithuania-Belarus Prince Aleksander Sapieha requested additional judges due to the scarcity of litigators in Warsaw, presenting a project for this purpose.

Representative Walerian Strojnowski from Volhynia weighed in on the project to address civil and defense matters, while voicing concerns about the potential risks of setting precedents for future abuse.

A discussion ensconced with heartfelt speeches ensued about who should be allowed active participation in the local congresses. Some argued for restrictions based on property ownership and capabilities, whereas others contended for the inclusion of all nobility, regardless of wealth.

The Secretary proceeded to the fifth point concerning individuals qualified to participate in and vote at local congresses. Much debate centered around the nature of representation and its ties to property ownership.

As the session progressed, various proposals surfaced, some advocating for only landowning citizens to be eligible for local congress participation—a viewpoint tied to tax burdens and the perceived vested interest in the nation's welfare.

Spirited arguments ensued over who should bear the right to actively participate in local congress affairs, whether it be every noble or just proprietors.

The session climaxed with an agreement stating that all inheritors and stewards in possession of land and those contributing to the national treasury from their estates have the right to a voice at the local congresses.

With the day’s work concluded, the Congress adjourned until the next day, continuing to wrestle with the times' democratic ideals and societal structures.
