Speech by Sir William Meredith against Garbern amendment
Sir William Meredith voices difficulty with the Garbern motion to reprimand Mr. Oliver rather than sentence him to the Tower. He argues for due process, condemns the gagged defense, pleads for peace over justice, and warns of public unrest if the case is mishandled. He urges restraint from ministers and emphasizes the need to keep the proceedings discreet while upholding liberty and proper governance.
