Today's session was kick-started by Speaker of the House Stanisław Małachowski. He announced that the Judiciary Reform Bill was ready for presentation, calling upon Secretary of the Congress Jan Łuszczewski to read the draft.

After the reading, The Secretary of Defence for Lithuania-Belarus, Michał Ogiński, took the floor to report on his inspection of military camps near Gołębiem and Bracław. He shared insights on the needs and potential improvements for the army. Wrapping up his address, Ogiński presented a proposal for ennobling Mr. Stanisław de Pichelsein, a translator in Kamieniec Podolski for the past two years. The proposal was met with unanimous consent from the assembly.

The Congress was also presented with a proposal to extend the exportation of diplomas for newly ennobled individuals to six months. This proposal too was unanimously agreed upon.

Furthermore, a bill was read concerning the incorporation of a Prebend's assets into the church estate of Rawskiego, managed by the Regular Canons who also run public schools in the area. This was unanimously accepted and thus converted into law.

The session was adjourned until Monday, January 16.

Summary for the folks back home: On this wintry Friday, our diligent representatives at the Congress got down to business, going over some legal drafts with a fine-tooth comb. Our Defense Secretary for Lithuania-Belarus put forward a feel-good story of rewarding a dedicated translator with nobility―because hard work deserves a shout-out. They're also making sure the freshly minted VIPs get their official papers in due time. And some good old-fashioned philanthropy was confirmed with the church getting a boost to support education. More to come after the weekend!
