Debates on South Sea Contracts and Public Credit in Commons
The Commons on June 30 examined debts owed to the Army and debated public credit including South Sea stock contracts. Motions sought to bar receipts for certain subscriptions, require unperformed contracts to be entered in books, and void contracts under set deadlines. Further motions aimed to nullify unperformed sales if conditions not met by September, with actions suspended until the next session.
