full_question: A story claims that this man played a practical joke by dressing a baboon up in a cape and having it jump out of a chest at his rival, John Montagu, who thought he was being attacked by the devil and repented his sins. This man fought a duel at the Red Lion Inn with another rival, William Talbot, but both shots missed. He wasn't as lucky when he was shot in the stomach during his duel with Samuel Martin. Several of this man's supporters, such as William Allen, were killed in the "Massacre of St. George's Fields" after Justice Gillam read the Riot Act to a crowd. Over the next year, this man was expelled from the House of Commons three times, initially because Issue #45 of his paperThe North Briton allegedly contained "seditious libel." This member of the Hellfire Club lost the support of many extremists after he helped quash the Gordon Riots. For 10 points, name this radical English journalist who frequently parodied George III and lends his name to an American assassin.
