South Sea Debates Over Petitions and Marching Amendments
In the historical record, petitioners argue for relief from losses tied to the South Sea scheme, with Sir Theodore Fanffen and Robert Surman figures invoked as examples. The House refers petitions to the grand Committee on the South Sea Bill, rejects some pleas, and approves amendments to three bills. The session also orders ingrossing for measures on writ delivery, seamen wages, and bridge construction on the Thames.
