Draft of proposed procedures against the Virginia Company, 1623.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49050047

In the year after the Indian massacre of 1622 and the plague ridden months that followed, opponents of the faction-ridden and bankrupt Virginia Company called for an investigation of Virginia affairs. The Privy Council appointed Sir William Jones head of a commission "to examine the carriage of the whole business." In due course the Company was forced to surrender its charter and Virginia became a royal colony.
