Denis Bond (MP)

Denis Bond (1676–1747), of Creech Grange, Dorset, was English lawyer and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1709 and 1732, when he was expelled for financial misconduct.

[2] Bond became Recorder of Dorchester and of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis in 1707 and held the position for the rest of his life.

They also acquired an annuity for the life of the real heir of the estate who was under age and expected to survive a full lifetime.

At this time Bond was a director of the Charitable Corporation, which was set up to make small loans to the poor.

The House of Commons declared Bond and his colleagues to have been 'guilty of many notorious breaches of trust and many indirect and fraudulent practices'.

However, in the next year, on further information, the House of Commons reduced its judgement of Bond's behaviour to neglect of duty and took no further action.
