Memorial of Wyvill deputies on reform and parliamentary independence
At a meeting of deputies from York, London, Gloucester, and other counties and towns, held at St Albans Tavern and later in King Street, the group resolves that all county deputations vote by deputation. They present a memorial urging reform to restore Parliament’s freedom and independence, denouncing a nine teen year despotic system and royal influence. The text argues that corruption in the House of Commons and Crown patronage threaten civil liberty and urges broad constitutional reform.
