I will start this shortly--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 06:47, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
- Clarify that Wedderburn lambasted Franklin at the Board of Trade hearing. It's kind of implicit in your current phrasing, but let's make it more explicit.
- Not sure what's not explicit to how this is written: "In the hearing concerning Hutchinson's fate, in which the aftermath of the Boston Tea Party was also discussed, Franklin stood silently while he was lambasted by Solicitor General Alexander Wedderburn for his role in the affair."
- This is the prior sentence: The Massachusetts assembly and governor's council petitioned the Board of Trade for Hutchinson's removal. On my first reading I wasn't sure who was conducting the hearing during which Wedderburn insulted Franklin. I couldn't figure out why the Solicitor General would have anything to do with the Board of Trade.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- I've noted that the Franklin meeting was of the Privy Council; is that sufficiently clear? (Not everyone knows that the Board of Trade was a subset of the Privy Council, but I don't think that difference needs to be brought up here.) Magic♪piano 00:11, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- I agree.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
