23.5.1796 Miller at Debrett's

The editorial notes on Miller in the GD website consider a number of Millers, so I'm just making things more complicated by pointing out that there is another Miller likely to have been at Debrett's and perhaps also at James Mackintosh's on 2.3.1795 and Fox's funeral on 10.10.1806. Patrick Miller (d1845 History of Parliament) MP for Dumfriesshire 1790-6 was the son of the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Scotland, He was a steward at the dinner of the Friends of Freedom on 4.2.1795 celebrating the treason trial acquittals, voted with Fox's patriotic motion on 16.5.1796 and joined the Whig Club on 7.6.1796. He was apparently unmarried until 1804 and Godwin noted Millers plural at Mackintosh's in 1795, but Samuel Miller, though in context in Tooke's company, would have been less so at Mackintosh's and Debrett's
