Turmoil sweeps Naples and the Two Sicilies as proclamations promise a constitution, a Provisional Junta forms with fifteen members, and military blocs shift loyalties. Reports describe arrests, mass retirements, and street unrest amid a royal transition and calls for parliamentary convocation.
In the House of Lords on Monday Lord Erskine pressed a petition from the Queen seeking a specification of places where criminal acts are charged to have been committed. Ministers opposed, arguing inconsistency. The chamber divided: Non contents 7, Contents 12, majority opposed. On Tuesday the Queen’s affairs continued with precedents for peer attendance and penalties for absence. In the Commons, Libel on the Queen and Irish Distillery laws were debated, with adjournment motions and Dublin election concerns noted. A high treason case, James Wilson, proceeded in the Special Covalston court.
The London Papers report delayed compromise between the crown and Parliament over the Queen's innocence and the King’s wishes for reform. The text notes ministers offering concessions while maintaining royal dignity, Count Vassalé traveling to Milan for testimony, and public calls for honest justice. A call for restraint and patience from the monarch and public appears, with market notes on grain and prices appended.
An 18th century court report notes the arraigned prisoners being sent to their respective trumpets after the TOW declined to prosecute the remainder. The execution was carried out on August 30 and the condemned were described as awaiting mercy from the crowe in a bleak, ceremonial outcome.
