Defamatory allegations and political defences in a Common-hall
A London Common-hall address recounts charges against Mr Wilkes for anonymous defamatory paragraphs. The speaker defends his own conduct regarding a contract and public duties, calls for proof from Woodfall, and describes clashes as Marshal clears the hall. The account preserves names like Henry Woodfall and Lord Mayor amid accusations and refusals to concede.
