Petition on South Sea Company mismanagement and writ for Burland seat
A 1721 House of Commons record notes a petition accusing 109 county manufacturers of mismanagement linked to the South Sea Company, calls for justice and public credit protection, and orders a new writ for Burland to replace Marquess of Granby. It also covers amendments to a bill against stock fobbing, and adjournment to await Vienna dispatches. Duplicates list directors and officers of the South Sea Company with names and titles.
