Infamy.
NOTE
* In 1750 Dr. Dr. Shebbeare L.L.D. was pilloried for writing
a libel against the then King under a Whig
Administration. He stood in triumph. The people
entertained amused him with applause. In 176 At another time J.
Williams as Bookseller was pilloried for publishing a libel
against the present King His Majesty George 3d under an administration
charged with Forgism: the people made
a collection for him. In 17 a At another time W. Beckford Lord Mayor
made a replied [made an affrontive reply] extempore in an unprecedented
and affrontive manner to a speech from the throne: the people City citizens
desired him Statue put a up his statue in Guildhall.
Shame did not then, I think, follow the finger of the Law
Note
[a] The case of a regular accusation in a court
of Justice forms the only exception.
