Report on Craigs and South Sea stock in the House

The Historical Register notes the third report on James Craigs Sen Esq, late Postmaster General, claiming forty thousand pounds South Sea Stock paid for his use. Mr Waller’s contradictory accounts alarmed members as the motion to consolidate bills passed. The South Sea relief bill was merged with constraints on John Aiflebie and his estate, with committee instructions to align both cases. The adjournment followed the call of the House.
