Alderman Heygate Defends Liberty of Debate in Commons
In a prolonged Commons session, Alderman Heygate rejects personal attacks by Mr. Brougham. He defends civil liberty, criticizes the motion to limit debate, and urges Parliament to protect the Crown and constitutional authority while hoping Queen Victoria's reign remains dignified. The speech references public documents bearing the Queen’s name and notes security in parliamentary tradition.
