The Letter to the Lord Chief Justice 1770 Mar 12
A long public letter to the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King’s Bench dated March 12, 1770. The writer argues for equality before the law, condemns Star Chamber practices, and demands accountability of authority. He outlines ten propositions condemning despotism, urging equitable justice and parliamentary limits, with planned further interrogatories to follow. The tone is bold and accusatory, reflecting colonial-era legal reform rhetoric.
