Act of Parliament: Exonerating the Estates of Sir James Colebrooke, Sir George Colebrooke, Arnold Nesbitt, Sir Samuel Fludyer, Adam Drummond, and Moses Franks (1815)

Pamphlet containing the British Act of Parliament of July 12, 1815, exonerating the estates of Sir James Colebrooke, Sir George Colebrooke, Arnold Nesbitt, Sir Samuel Fludyer, Adam Drummond, and Moses Franks from claims related to contracts with His Majesty's Government. This act settles claims stemming from contracts made between 1758 and 1766 for supplying British troops in North America during the Seven Years' War. The original vouchers were lost in a fire, leading to this 1815 settlement many years after the death of Moses Franks. The pamphlet provides a summary of the main contracts and the events that caused the loss of property. Published in London on July 12, 1815.
