MINISTERIAL PREJUDICES IN FAVOUR OF THE CONVENTION, EXAMIN'D AND ANSWER'D. Responding specifically to the recently published POPULAR PREJUDICES... (Sabin 64143), this pamphlet criticizes the Convention of El Pardo and Prime Minister Walpole's other diplomatic efforts to avoid war with Spain. The House of Commons sided overwhelmingly with the belligerent faction, claiming abuses of British seamen and unfair interruption of trade by the Spanish authorities in the Caribbean, and pressured Walpole into commencing the War of Jenkins' Ear in October 1739.
