Notice of the South Sea Company Guinea Trade and Robbery Events
The South Sea Company warns merchants and Guinea traders they will pursue the Afsiento trade to purchase Africans, promising support and enforcement. A separate notice seeks discoveries of Robert Thomson’s missing estate assets, offering ten years’ rent as reward, with similar reward for locating stolen goods including lace, jewelry, and a portmanteau from Mrs Hamilton’s lodgings.
