Debates on Bank Sale of South Sea Funds at General Court
The court debated empowering the Directors to negotiate with the Bank for the sale of a portion of Funds and Annuities from the Exchequer to ease debts and incumbrances. A previous question was rejected despite calls for a ballot as the parliament neared its end. Notices of elections, candidates, and local advertisements followed, including public praise for Lord Baltimore and Henry Temple.
