Excerpt from Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England, Vol. 7 of 10: From the Earliest Times Till the Reign of King George IV

Lord Camden. Before the silence to which the noble Lords allude, I had repeatedly given my opinion upon the impropriety of the mea sures we have been discussing. But when I found that my Opinion and my advice were rejected and despised, and that these measures were to be pursued in spite of every remonstrance I could make, I did withdraw myself - under the conviction that my presence would only distract, Without preventing them. I was never farther consulted upon them directly or indirectly, because my Opinion was well known -but I was ever ready to express my opinion boldly and Openly on every question debated in council, and humbly, but firmly, to give my best advice to my Sovereign for the public good.

When Lord Chatham introduced his bill for reversing the decision of the House of Commons which disqualified Mr. Wilkes, and seated Mr. Luttrell as member for Middlesex.
