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.…

Henry Luttrell DNB 1768-1851. Farington diary Jan 1796 dined at Malone's with Luttrell & Jephson and found them "democratish". Clearly Luttrell saw miss Mansel in her debut in Road to Ruin and went to congratulate her the next day, keeping her acquaintance both shortly after her marriage and long after.The idea that his mother was a gardener's daughter from Woodstock is a confusion of…

George Lyttelton DNB 1709-1773 and Mary Robinson DNB 1756?1758? - 1800. The DNB article notes Mrs Robinson's addresses, 14 St James Place 1792-7, but then a series of other London addresses as her financial situation worsened. Careful research could probably establish this connection but I don't have time at present. See Andrews, Francis

8.2.1791 M to the papers. Evening Mail 5.2.1791 re: The School for Arrogance "it is attributed to Mr Marshall the translator of the German Hotel" St James Chronicle 5.2.1791 to 8.2.1791 "now avowed by Mr Marshall the supposed author not to be his production but that of Mr Holcroft; whom a disagreement with Mr Harris had for some time driven from the stage" James Marshall's letter to this effect was printed in Woodfall's Register 8.2.1791
 

M'Cummin 12.2.1795 at Gerald's.

Perhaps the Captain John McCumming Paymaster of the 31st Foot who was tried along with his Lt Colonel William Hepburn in 1803 for embezzling regimental funds, he was sentenced to 18 months in the Kings bench and Hepburn to 12 months (Nat Arch TS11/881) see Hepburn, William

M'Donald 9.11.1795 see MacDonnell, David Evans

M'Can 7.8.1793 at Frost's Newgate.

Thomas Townley Macan (1770-93) from Dublin had been law student at Lincolns Inn but was confined for debt, then imprisoned in Newgate for 3 years from 16.7.1792 for a conspiracy to blow up the Kings Bench prison along with another Irishman Rev Richard Burgh, and Capt John Cummings, John Davis and John Bourne (Nat Arch HO42/21/142 & TS11/780). On 3.11.1793 the Public Advertiser reported his death in Newgate, of the same bout of gaol fever that killed Lord George Gordon.

28.3.1794 at Newgate (with Gerrald) and 2.4.1794, 29.4.1794, 30.4.1794, 23.8.1794 there, 17.2.1796 at King's. In 1794 version of Godwin's 1796 list but left out of 1796 version 

Felix Macarthy (see L Werkmeister The London Daily Press p52-5 re journalist's quarrels in 1781; Patrick O'Leary, Sir James Mackintosh The Whig Cicero p30-1 where it says he worked with Mackintosh on Oracle and introduced him to Joseph Gerrald, and was a friend of Prince of Wales via Lord Moira, and p62 where it says he was a contributor to the Albion newspaper in 1801

Macdonald 7.8.1793 see MacDonnell, David Evans

27.7.1789 Macdonald at Robinson's.

Perhaps Lewis Macdonald bookseller 454 Strand 1785-90 (Maxted), from the context of Robinson's typical guests

Macdonard 30.9.1794 see MacDonnell, David Evans

30.9.1794 Macdonard adv. at Gerald's. Very likely the same person who first appeared as Macdonald adv. at Frost's Newgate on 7.8.1793 and was in Godwin's 1796 list immediately after C Pigot, (whom Godwin also first met that day), as Macdonald with the 'ald' crossed out and 'nel' inserted above and then crossed out and Macdonald also crossed right through. Macdonald appeared again at Tooke's acquittal 1.11.1794 and adv. at Gerald's 12.3.1795. In my view this was David Evans MacDonnel who was editor of the Gazetteer newspaper from June 1793 to Dec 1794 and then became editor of the Telegraph…

16.8.1795 col Mackenzie at Perry's

Possibly either Alexander Mackenzie ( later Alexander Mackenzie Fraser DNB 1758-1809) or his brother in law Francis Humberstone Mackenzie (DNB 1754-1815). Both were army colonels and MPs who by 1795 supported Pitt, though Francis had earlier been in opposition and took a strong interest in the arts
