The defendants attended a meeting at Birmingham on the 12th July 1819, at which speeches reflecting upon the House of Commons as then constituted were made, and resolutions were passed for the election of a legislatorial attorney, who would claim admission to the House as a representative of Birmingham. The defendants were convicted upon an indictment alleging a conspiracy to excite discontent and disaffection, and, in particular, to procure the election of a representative in Parliament without lawful authority. 82 pages, printed in double columns. A trial from the Reports of State Trials, New Series, 1889, published in facsimile, 1982. This particular trial report has been removed from a volume of Macdonell & Wallis's State Trials and is now preserved in a modern card cover for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable rebinding that favours function over finery.
