Synopsis
A Defence Of The Rector And Fellows Of Exeter College, From The Accusations Brought Against Them By The Reverend Dr. Huddesford, Vice-Chancellor Of Oxford by Francis Webber. This historical pamphlet, published in 1754, presents a detailed rebuttal of the Vice-Chancellor's speech to Convocation, in which he charged Exeter College with misconduct during the county election. Webber outlines a general defence of the college, argues that the actions taken were within University statutes and common justice, and criticizes the Vice-Chancellor's jurisdiction over college affairs. He recounts the back-gate voting, the admission of New Interest freeholders, and the provision of meals and shelter to poll participants, asserting that these measures preserved peace and order rather than fomented vice. The text analyzes charges of drunkenness, filth, and perjury, denying them and offering a point-by-point rebuttal. It also questions the fairness and candor of the Vice-Chancellor's programme and his refusal to provide a copy of the charged section, concluding with a defense of Exeter College's honor and contributions to learning.
