Wigton election dispute clarifies Cumberland seats
James Lowrustr presents a detailed rebuttal of Wigton meeting outcomes on Cumberland parliamentary nominations arguing Curwen and Fletcher misrepresented the process. He asserts his fitness and condemns peer influence while praising Essex Yeomanry and local freeholders for genuine support. He concludes with apologies to Sun Tavern leaders and loyalty to Cumberland voters.
