Parliament Report on Stock Fraud Involving Cafwal Turner and Sawbridge
The House reviews alleged corrupt stock handling by Sir George Cafwal with Elias Turner and Jacob Sawbridge. A verdict of guilty of corrupt practice leads to Cafwal’s expulsion and imprisonment in the Tower of London. Estates are liable to answer 250000 pounds to the South Sea Company, with a plan to bring in a Bill and issue new writs for elections in Hereford and Edinburgh.
