South Sea Company Mismanagement Probed by House of Commons
The House of Commons orders inquiries into public money used for South Sea Stock and other securities since December 1719. It also directs examination of warrants and sign manuals tied to war debts and subsidies. Further, the House resumes consideration of relief bills for South Sea claimants and restraining a director from leaving the kingdom. A list of names cannot be found is published with notices to claimants, hearings to be held in June at Essex House.
