South Sea Company Officers Prohibited from Leaving Kingdom
A 1721 Act passage orders Sir John Fellows Deputy-Governor and directors of the South Sea Company to remain within the realm for one year from December 8 1720 and to enter recognizances of 100 000 pounds with two or more sureties. The measure targets alleged fraudulent practices by the Sub-Governor Deputy-Governor and directors in confederacy with other officers, aiming to hold them to account in Parliament and recover public trust.
