ABSTRACT

First published as the London Examiner in The Examiner, VIII, 12 March 1815, pp. 169–70. This piece is of interest as it shows Hunt bringing together a number of events occurring at this moment: while the return of Bonaparte would dominate the news, Hunt also reports on Cochrane’s ironically parallel escape from prison (having been imprisoned himself, Hunt has sympathies with the jailed Cochrane, as he would later with Bonaparte on St. Helena) and the main domestic debate of the year, the Corn Bill.
