London. . . [3 paragraphs]  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 inviolable rights and liberties of Englishmen; and,
immediately after the verdict was pronounced, there were the
louded 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.
