Dealer Notes
John Ramey was a practising barrister and an anti-corruption party leader against the Walpole and Townshend families in the Yarmouth constituency. Richard Fuller had unsuccessfully stood as the anti-Townshend candidate in 1741, 1754 and 1756. These three pamphlets constitute the exchanges of claims of slander taken on Ramey by Fuller.
