Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Newgate Calendar Improved, Vol. 4: Being Interesting Memoirs of Notorious Characters Many of these misguided and destructive men, who had long kept the northern parts of the kingdom in perpetual alarm, by their terrific proceedings, were at length brought to the punishment due to their offence. A special commission was issued for their trial, and opened by Baron Thompson at the city of York, on Monday the 4th of January 1813, in a most impressive charge to the grand jury. On Tuesday, the 5th, the court proceeded upon the trial of John Swallow, John Batley, Joseph Fletcher, of Mr. Samuel Moxton at Whitley Upper: the jury pronounced them all Guilty. The system of atrocity pursued by the Luddites being known to every individual, we hold it needless to enter into a detail of the evidence produced against them, nearly to the same effect - administering false oaths, - riotously assembling - destroying the frames and looms and murder. We shall, however, proceed more particularly to state the cases marked with blood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
