Parliament quickly passed an act to compel Robinson and Thomson to appear, or be guilty of a felony. The Commons appointed a committee to investigate, and this produced a detailed report on the affair. At the end of the session, two further Acts were passed. One appointed commissioners to determine the rights of the shareholders and creditors; for the Charitable Corporation to appoint an assignee in bankruptcy in respect of Thomson and Robinson, and to compel John Thomson. the warehouse keeper's father to appear before the commissioners in England on pain of being declared a felon. The other required Sutton, Grant, Bond, Burroughs, Wooley and Warren to deliver particulars of their estates to the Barons of the Exchequer. William Squire was required to surrender himself and do the same, while Burroughs was committed to the Fleet Prison until he complied. All of them (except Squires) delivered inventories accordingly, and they were printed by order of the Commons Committee. It is probable that Squire remained abroad, as no further reference to him occurs in the London Gazette.
