Court debate on delivering up Knight and securing him abroad
In a Commons led inquiry the House urged King George to press ministers abroad for Mr. Robert Knight, cashier of the South Sea Company, to be delivered into custody. Lord Viscount Townshend noted twelve expresses had already been sent to Brussels and Knight was reportedly apprehended, with Churchill ordered to Vienna to press for his surrender.
