A Letter on South Sea Company Knight Ballot Debates
A long protest letter critiques the General Court’s plan to release Mr. Knight for 10000 pounds, urging Proprietors to ballot against the measure. It argues fraud’s danger to the kingdom, cites Acts from 1720 to 1728, and warns of precedents that could imperil public trust and property. The text includes questions about notices, sales legality, and director conduct, ending with ethical appeals and sport queries for stakeholders.
