London. . . Dec. 8. . . It was thought there was the
greatest concourse of people in Westminster-Hall ever known,
who shewed the profoundest attention to the discussion of a
cause, that in the highest degree affected the most sacred
and invaluable rights and liberties of Englishmen; and,
immediately after the verdict was pronounced, there were the
loudest acclamations that can possibly be imagined. A large
body of the people went to Mr. Wilkes's house in Great
George-street, with French horns, crying out, "Pratt,
Wilkes, and Liberty for ever." And they afterwards
proceeded to Lord Halifax's.
