Trial of Coke and Woodburn for felonious intent at Bury
An 18th century court record describes the March trial at Bury where Coke and Woodburn faced charges under a clause making aiding and abetting a serious assault a felony. Witness Crispe testifies of a January supper and an alleged ambush near Mrs Fanny Monk’s house, with Brown's deposition detailing a night of alcohol and confusion and Coke’s absence was explained as concern.
