Trial report on O Connor O Coigley case in Margate court

The court heard defence by Mr Plomer for Mcilr O Connor and OCoigley, who faced charges over a treasonous paper found in a great coat. Witnesses, including notable figures like Lord Moira and Hon. Fox, testified to O Connor’s character while evidence focused on the paper and the alleged plans for leaving the country. The jury found O Coigley guilty and acquitted the others. O Coigley faced death, and O Connor was later subjected to a separate high treason warrant and declared prepared to die.

It urges repentance and reform as necessary to avert divine chastisement. The outlook on Europe remains grim with tensions between Russia, France, and the German Deputation.
