The Livery of London Demands Petition Privilege
A London civic letter argues the Livery retains an ancient right to present Address, Petition, and Remediation to the King. It claims Common-Hall assemblies, on any day, authorize public grievances and insists this privilege endures under the current sovereign. The writer warns against revoking the order, urges royal intercession, and cites America’s Remonstrance as justification for liberty.
