Progress on Bills in the Grand Committee May 16 1727
The House reviewed papers numbered seventeen on the Lords Proprietors of Carolina surrendering their interest and amendments to the Bank of England annuity bill. May 17 saw the quarantine bill read and moved to a second reading. In a grand committee the raise of wires delivery for parliamentary elections and a motion urged an inquiry into Woods sales from Christmas 1715 to June 1727. Debates touched royal forest timber, with Walpole opposing the inquiry. A bill aimed to discharge South Sea Trustees and vest estates in the company.
