Reprieve for Frost Williams and Jones sparks political lobbying
Amid mounting pressure from Lord Melbourne's ministers and supporters including Sir Frederick Pollock, Frost Williams and Jones were spared from immediate execution. The Home Office sent a respite, with negotiations continuing on whether to commute or transport the trio, while press coverage cites conflicting reports from the Globe and Sun about mercy and future punishment. The Monmouth case stirs national debate as petitions flood in and rival papers dispute the details of six unsuccessful and one successful appeal.
