Excerpts from the South Sea Company inquiry debate
The record details John Aiflabie and others in a parliamentary inquiry into South Sea Company dealings. It cites stock loans, bonds, and sums owed, including 904,451 15s. od. and 77,600 due from Turner and Company. It notes Aiflabie’s alleged consent to lending Exchequer bills, promotion of subscriptions, and involvement with directors in the perilous scheme. The House orders his imprisonment and recalls a bill to restrain him from leaving the kingdom for a year.
