October Club : ウィキペディア英語版 | October Club The October Club was a group of Tory MPs, active around 1711 to 1714. The group took its name from the strong ale they reportedly drank.〔Pat Rogers, ‘(October Club (''act''. 1711–1714) )’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, May 2010, accessed 2 August 2010.〕 After Robert Harley refused to set up an inquiry into the former administration's financial policies, on 5 February 1711 some Tories passed resolutions calling for inquires into suspected financial abuses. Initially 70 to 80 strong, the October Club attracted not just young and inexperienced backbenchers but older Tories such as Ralph Freeman, Sir John Pakington, Sir Justinian Isham, Peter Shakerley and Sir Thomas Hanmer. The group was "a major threat to the Harley administration".〔H. T. Dickinson, ''Bolingbroke'' (London: Constable, 1970), p. 80.〕 ==Notes==
