Knight Petition to Secure Papers in Vienna and Brussels
A House of Commons address requests the king to order ministers in Vienna and Brussels to use every effort to secure the person of Mr Robert Knight and deliver his papers to designated receivers if he is brought to Britain. The king promises to arrange safe custody via the Serjeant at Arms. An inquiry about South Sea Company stock was debated but failed to pass. An Earl in the House of Lords raises the Knight custody report as a matter of public concern.
