22.11.1794(alongside week ending) Lushington at Tooke's trial.
William Lushington 1747-1823 (History of Parliament) signed declaration of Friends of the People 11.4.92 but had resigned by November. Independent candidate for City of London in by-election March 1795 defeated Combe the Whig candidate. Justified Pitt's measures as "temporary sacrifice of liberty for security's sake". Of Marks Hall, Essex and Mount Pleasant, Tunbridge Wells. Could also be his relative Sir Stephen Lushington, East India Company director (History of Parliament) but William flirted much more with radicals.
