Wilkes health orders delayed as Dun threat unfolds
The House moved for the execution of the North Briton burning order but postponed the attendance due to doctors Brocklesby and Graves report on Mr Wilkes health. Alderman Harley received thanks, pledging vigorous enforcement of laws while Alexander Dun’s threat led Wilkes to seek peace bonds. Statements from Matthew Brown and Mathias Darly confirm a plotted assault and a letter allegedly from Dun.
