Engraftment plan at heart of South Sea Bank dispute 1720
A late December 1720 notice records a Bank of England court decision allowing an engraftment of 9 million South Sea Funds into the Banks capital stock with a 5 percent annuity payable from the Exchequer and authorizing directors to present proposals to Parliament. It notes upcoming mergers talks at Merchant Taylors Hall and lists subscription status, stock prices, and public notices from South Sea House and related insurers and publishers.
