8.12.1795 W Forum / 31.5.1798 Westminster Forum: duelling, adv M(arshall) & Montagu
Westminster Forum debating society. The subject om 8.12.1795 was "Are not the most probable means left of saving the country from the despotism of the Minister - an immediate junction of the Whig Interest and the Corresponding Society?" The debate was not concluded that night and Godwin doesn't seem to have bothered to return.

Robert Smirke DNB 1753-1845, in the GD website under person record for plain Smirke, because of his "large family of artists". But in 1795 his father was dead and his eldest child just 17. Given his known radical sympathies he is the obvious candidate for the 1795 entries and the abbreviated entries above fit the pattern of Godwin's contacts with him

Sang on 28.6.1796 at Crown & Anchor to celebrate Tooke's "election triumph" (Telegraph 29.6.1796), on 5.11.1796 at Crown & Anchor at the meeting of the Friends of Freedom, a song written by Horne Tooke (Morning Post 7.11.1796), and on 23.12.1796 sang at Grove House, Camberwell at meeting to celebrate Tierney's election for Southwark (Morning Post 24.12.1796).
