Townsend's Vindication Against Wilkes Amid Guildhall Debates
James Townsend defends his conduct against charges of contracting or neglecting duties as magistrate and criticizes Wilkes for alleged faction. He cites witnesses from Holder to Treco thick and recalls prior council resolutions defending magistrates. Townsend asserts disinterested service and urges voters to judge by actions, not anonymous accusations.
