South Sea Directors Arrest and Tax Bill Progress
The Lords in grand Committee examined Mr Joye Deputy Governor of the South Sea Company and read Mr Anighe’s letter to the Directors. Five South Sea Directors were ordered into custody. The Commons engrossed the Land Tax bill and resolved to urge the King to seek surrender of Robar Knight if he hides in allied dominions. A report on Aye Harbour and a new bill to protect Woollen and Silk manufactures and curb Callicocs was considered. The Lords addressed the King to direct Trade Commissioners to present schemes to curb Callicocs and wool running.
