Enquiry into colonial governors and Spanish trade views
A reader writes from Kent noting an inquiry into colonial governance and potential bribe practices by deputies in 1753 and 1755, arguing such acts defy justice and royal prerogative. The letter discusses Spain’s punitive stance on pamphlets about trade benefits, and the Kent storm’s impact with thanks to Sir Philip Boteler for relief.
