South Sea Bill Debates and Bank Reprieve Proposals
Amid divided Commons, resolutions aim to restore stock and receipts at fixed rates. Debates center on repayment terms, with Hungerford and courtiers urging full seven million remittance, opposed by Sloper and others. Further motions discuss allowances for Grigsby and Aislabie, including 2000 for Aislabie’s estate, while Walpole seeks compensation for holdings through 1719.
