The Charee Against Bolke And The Monarchical Liberty
The piece continues the attack on Bolke, alleging he ridiculed the Prince on the throne and attacked the Crown’s legitimacy. It quotes passages from Craftsman and December 1734 issues to claim Bolke mocked the king and royal family, condemned parliamentary authority, and urged popular control over Parliament. The charge list includes ridiculing monarchy, undermining hereditary rights, and portraying a weak future sovereign, arguing such satire threatens liberty and the constitution.
