Jersey Petition Against Tyrants In Island Revolt Threats
A Jersey island letter to the Printer of the London Evening Post appeals to the Ministry for relief from severe oppression by Lieutenant Bailly and Jurats. The narrative details imprisonments, fines, coercion, and an artificial famine as cries for redress grow amid fear of another revolt. The writer cites Dutch influence, militia fears, and failed royal orders, naming Colonel Bentinck and Doctor Shebbeare in attempts to pressure the Crown.

Dragooning Ireland and England in Ministry Politics
A critique argues that Irish peers and English commoners double as ministers, delaying Parliament until January to push policies in Ireland first. The writer condemns corruption, treasury strain, and a ruling class that ignores public opinion while predicting royal distress, court intrigues, and military and maritime concerns through the new year.
