| Evidence: | 'In the even read several political papers called "The North Briton", which are wrote by John Wilkes Esq., member for Aylesbury in Bucks, for the writing of which he has been committed to the Tower, and procured his release by a writ of habeas corpus. I really think they breathe forth such a spirit of liberty that it is an extreme good paper.' |
