 Luttrell lost the poll (1,143 votes to 269) but was seated in Parliament, Wilkes having once again been barred as an adjudged felon.As a result of the affair, for some months, Luttrell dared not appear in the street, and was "the most unpopular man in the House of Commons".The government rewarded Luttrell by appointing him Adjutant General for Ireland in 1770.
