Four days after the Sawbridge and Fanf fen expulsions the Commons passed a mutiny and desertion bill. On January 31 1696 Lords' committee examined papers on the South Sea affair, and in Westminster Abbey the martyrs day service was held with sermons and thanks to the preachers. Writs were ordered for Burgesses for Devizes Yarmouth and Great Grimsby to replace expelled members.
