[copy in Public Record Office, 30/24/30/30, ff. 101-102]
Description:
Extracts in Locke’s hand from the Licensing Act of 1662 [14 Car. 2, c. 33],
with Locke’s criticisms.
This is the first of several documents dealing with the attempt to prevent the renewal of the Licensing Act.
On 30 November 1694, the House of Commons appointed a committee to examine expiring acts,
including the Licensing Act. The committee recommended on 9 January 1695 that the act be renewed.
On 11 February 1695, the Commons rejected the recommendation and called for a new bill.
Locke and the College (Edward Clarke and John Freke) were involved in opposing the reinstitution of licensing.
This document is endorsed “Printing 94” which indicates it was written
either in December 1694 or January 1695. A copy of the paper, in the hand of Sylvester Brounower,
is among the Shaftesbury papers in the Public Record Office.
For further papers relating to this issue, see entries for “Printing 94/5”
in the chronological list for 1695.
