Book Description
"A high profile treason trial in a highly nervous London sponsored by a highly nervous government who considered revolution to be a real possibility. Arthur Thistlewood (1770-1820), later to be a Cato Street conspirator, had developed revolutionary sympathies by reading Paine's works and by visits to America and Paris. He joined the revolutionary Spencean Society in London (the Society aim at revolutionising all social institutions in the interest of the poorer classes) and, together with the father and son James Watson, organised a revolutionary meeting at Spa Fields. He and his co-conspirators were arrested and tried but extraordinarily all were acquitted. He was eventually hanged in 1820 after the Cato Street debacle"--description.

It is not absolutely necessary, in order to consti tute that Offence, that there should be a re ular organized force, or that the persons should be in mi ita array. If there is an insurrection, that is, a large tisin (if! The people, for the purpose Of effecting by force an violence, not any private objects of their own, but a public purpose, that is by law a levying Of war. There must be an insurrection, and force must accompany that insurrection, and the objects must be Of a general nature. This has been under the consideration Of the judges at many periods Of time, and has always received from them the same Opinion. One Of the earliest cases was one when there was a general rising of a great many people a mob of about five thousand persons, with a view, (not, to be sure, of a wicked nature but to put down all brothels, -houses Of ill-fame.
