Wedderburn questioned over politics and betrayals
The Middlesex Journal quotes a letter asking who Alexander Wedderburn is and why he has stirred newspaper comment. It accuses him of switching allegiances, serving patrons in Parliament, accepting seats, and deserting friends, then notes his recent public uproar and mockingly reprimands him in Scots dialogue.
