Election turmoil over city polling in Westminster 1747
Chroniclers recount a riotous Westminster polling night when crowds with weapons disrupted voting, doors were barred, foreigners admitted, and voters deterred. A later report singles out leaders Trenham and Warren, with Butcher Lever punished, arguing such violence undermines liberty and the integrity of elections in the to-be-remembered struggle for independence.
