Middlesex Petition and the Onslow Pension Controversy
A historical letter discusses the Middlesex Petition in strong critique of Parliament actions. It contrasts Oliver Cromwell's dissolution with modern favours for Little George Onslow, detailing pensions, seats, and alleged corruption. The piece condemns efforts to thwart a poor man’s remedy and condemns double standards in privilege and election gains.
