Title: The North Briton
Content: number 45. Nonetheless, by the time Wilkes was released from prison in 1770, "45" was still a popular icon not only of Wilkes, but of freedom of speech in general. Issue numbers 47 (10 May 1768) to 218 (11 May 1771) were published by William Bingley. Bingley was gaoled in Newgate and then in King's Bench Prison on account of issues number 50 and 51. He was released after two years without trial. The North Briton The North Briton was a radical newspaper published in 18th century London. The North Briton also served as the pseudonym of the newspaper's author,

Title: Massacre of St George's Fields
Content: a clear ultimatum which has survived the repeal of the Act. In June 1762 John Wilkes started the newspaper "The North Briton". After one article was published on 23 April 1763 severely attacking George III, the king and his ministers tried to prosecute Wilkes for seditious libel. However Lord Chief Justice Lord Mansfield ruled at his trial that as an MP, Wilkes was protected by parliamentary privilege so he was released without conviction. Wilkes then proceeded to publish more material that was deemed offensive and libellous to The Crown. It was only after the House of Lords declared one of

Title: Stephen Sayre
Content: Wilkes, sympathetic to the cause of the disaffected colonialists, and who may very well have wished to embarrass the government, and possibly bring a change of political direction. There was a precedent here in Wilkes' prosecution for seditious libel in 1763, over the publication of the infamous issue 45 of "North Briton". Then "Wilkes and Liberty" was the war-cry of the London mob. The affair of 1775 certainly caused some temporary discomfiture; but there was no cry of "Sayre and Liberty" and no change of political direction. Events across the Atlantic were moving too fast for that. Stephen Sayre Stephen

Title: Hellfire Club
Content: attempted arrest of John Wilkes for seditious libel against the King in the notorious issue No. 45 of his "The North Briton" in early 1763. During a search authorised by a General warrant (possibly set up by Sandwich, who wanted to get rid of Wilkes), a version of "The Essay on Woman" was discovered set up on the press of a printer whom Wilkes had almost certainly used. The work was almost certainly principally written by Thomas Potter, and from internal evidence can be dated to around 1755. It was scurrilous, blasphemous, libellous, and bawdy, though not pornographic- still unquestionably

Title: George III of the United Kingdom
Content: member of parliament, published "The North Briton", which was both inflammatory and defamatory in its condemnation of Bute and the government. Wilkes was eventually arrested for seditious libel but he fled to France to escape punishment; he was expelled from the House of Commons, and found guilty "in absentia" of blasphemy and libel. In 1763, after concluding the Peace of Paris which ended the war, Lord Bute resigned, allowing the Whigs under George Grenville to return to power. Later that year, the Royal Proclamation of 1763 placed a limit upon the westward expansion of the American colonies. The Proclamation aimed
