London, December 8. . . [1 paragraph follows on the trial
between John Wilkes against Robert Wood, for entering his
house and taking some papers. Wilkes won a settlement of
1000L damages]
After the verdict was pronounced, there were the loudest
acclamations that can possibly be imagined. A large body of
people went to Mr. Wilkes's house in Great-George Street, &
staid there an hour, blowing French horns, and crying out,
'Pratt, Wilkes, and Liberty Forever,' and they afterwards
proceeded to Lord Halifax's, &c.
