Trial of Crossfield on high treason charges in London
The court heard witness accounts from Le Briton, Dennis, Winter, Bennett, and others about Crossfield, a surgeon aboard the Pomona, allegedly involved in a plot to kill the King with a poison arrow. Eyewitness testimony linked him to Brest prison ships and changing names, while Chief Justice Eyre outlined two overt acts proving conspiracy. The jury returned Not Guilty, and related parliamentary notes followed on wine duty and other measures.
