Riots and martial law amid London rebellion 1789
A Privy Council edict imposes martial law on London and Westminster after riots and calls for military deployment. Lord Amherst orders disposition of forces as protests surge. City officials praise the militia and authorize sheriffs to coordinate with soldiers to defend the Guildhall, Bank of England, and other key sites. Reports describe police and parliamentary disturbances, with Lord Sandwich attacked, Parliament surrounded, and widespread damage to prisons, offices, and residences.
