A rare broadside, originally sold for six-pence, recording the names of those English politicians who voted both for and against the Convention of El Pardo, a treaty between Great Britain and Spain designed to resolve issues regarding the freedom of the seas and ensuing smuggling operations. Delegates agreed that Britain would receive damages totalling £95,000 for harm done to vessels and crews during Spanish boardings, and that Spain be compensated in return for the non- payment of proceeds from the Asiento - the permission given to the British government to trade slaves in Spanish colonies. The convention proved exceedingly unpopular with the South Sea Company and British and Spanish merchant captains alike, and by the end of 1739 both nations would violate the treaty, thus instigating the War of Jenkins' Ear.
