Accessing House of Commons Parliamentary Papers

[goldie61]

I have come across a reference in The House of Commons Parliamentary Papers for 1814, for a 'Lewis Bertolle….. late of Mount street, Bethnal Green'.
This is on a site called ‘Trading Consequences’, where there is a transcription of some of the Parliamentary Pages, but they are not complete transcriptions of each entry, and on the whole just give names and sometimes addresses of the people mentioned. It looks as if there will be more information in the actual documents.

The link on the 'Trading Consequences' page takes you to a sign-in page for ‘Proquest’, which would seem to only be accessible for institutions such as universities and research libraries.
http://gateway.proquest.com/openurl?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&res_dat=xri:hcpp&rft_dat=xri:hcpp:fulltext:1814-004264
(‘Trading Consequences’ being a collaboration between two Canadian universities, and two UK universities).

Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can see the actual document? Or have access to Proquest?

Thanks very much

Their website says many libraries have an agreement with them.

Have you tried

https://hansard.parliament.uk/

If you know details of why he was mentioned, you might be able to find some details.

He's in a very, very long list of 'insolvent debtors'.
Thanks for the Hansard site.
I had a look through, but it's more to do with submitting and talking about various Bills as far as I can see.
I don't think this very long list of debtors would have been read out in the actual chamber.
Interesting site though if you were studying historical government though.

I'll check at my local library here on the other side of the world next time I go whether they can access this site. I don't hold out much hope that that librarians there will know much about it.

 If this is about debt and insolvency, then the paper of record is The Gazette (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/)

e.g.  https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/17876/page/2009

Thanks for looking degenerate.
I have seen this before. It is for Lewis Bertolle, and is dated 1822, some 8 years or so after the entry in the Parliamentary papers for Francis Bertolle.
I think they may have been father and son, and the father, Francis, is using one of his 3 first names at this time instead of the one he usually used. The father died in 1819.
I have looked in The Gazette for Francis Bertolle around the 1813 - 1818 mark to see indeed if he is mentioned in it as a debtor, but not had any luck in finding anything.
Hey ho!

Hi, you mention you're on "the other side of the world".  If that's Australia, you can join the National Library of Australia for free and access online the House of Commons Parliamentary Papers along with a whole lot of other stuff of course.

Anyway, had a look, for Francis Bertolle and attached are snips from the page.

This is the listed citation:
Parliament:  1814-15
Paper Series:  House of Commons Papers
Paper Number:  107
Volume Page:  XI.417
Volume:  11
Collection:  19th Century House of Commons Sessional Papers

Yes thanks SL. But thanks for looking and posting it. 
It was quite a find when these records came on-line.
