Item description from seller

EXTENDED TIME FOR CLAIMS AGAINST THE ROYAL AFRICAN COMPANY. Folio (11.25 inches). 24 George II, Chapter 49. General title leaf + pages 1091-1096. Royal coat of arms and factotum initial. Text in Black Letter. Neatly extracted from a bound volume. As part of the terms of reference outlined in the Trade to Africa Act, 1750 provision was made for the appointment of commissioners to examine the claims of creditors of the Royal African Company (RAC). The examination of claims proved to be long and complicated, and Parliament found it necessary to pass the Royal African Company Creditors Act, 1751 to extend the time allowed for examination of claims. In order to prevent the RAC from evading its creditors while the claims were under review, Parliament specified in the 1751 Act that the RAC were: / / restrained and disabled from assigning, transferring, or disposing of all or any their Military Stores, Ammunition, Slaves, Canoes, Vessels and Things, necessary for the Use or Defence of their Forts and Settlements / / . Leading creditors were named in the Act, together with the amounts of their claims (some of which were large for the day and amounted to many thousands of pounds currency).
