- Description:
-
- [Pontefract, 1768]
- 1 sheet ; 1°.
- Series:
- Eighteenth century collections online.
- Notes:
-
- On the left half is the 'To the person who writes Benevolence', signed: Aminadab Hotspur; and on the right 'A new song. Tune --- There was a jovial miller liv'd on the River Dee.', the sheet possibly meant to be divided in half.
- The first line of the song is "From India late a nabob came".
- Both Aminadab Hotspur and the song attack John Walsh, the "nabob", and his followers, John Walsh having tried to use his burgage votes to overwhelm the independent voters in the 1768 Pontefract parliamentary election, the tactic provoking a riot and the request by the independent voters to Sir Rowland Winn to stand as a candidate.
