Trial of Stephen and Jesse Boorn For the Murder of Russell Colvin Before an Adjourned Term of the Supreme Court of Vermont Begun and Holden in Manchester In the County of Bennington Oct. 26 A.D. 1819 To which is Subjoined The Particulars of the Wonderful Discovery Thereafter Of said Colvin's Being Alive And His Return to Manchester Where it was Alledged the Murder was Committed: With Some Interesting Particulars Relating to This Mysterious Affair Disconnected with the Trial.

Light browning and foxing tiny hole to front wrapper with no loss to text. Quite uncommon in the first edition. $1500. First edition. As McDade notes in The Annals of Murder annotation to Entry 111 this famous case is a "constant reminder that innocent persons can be convicted. Russell Colvin the alleged victim had married a sister of the Boorns and had several children by her. He was mentally deficient and disappeared in 1812. Local gossip credited the Boorns with having disposed of him presumably because he was a burden on the family. In the spring of 1819 the Boorns were arrested and either from fear or mental weakness they told stories involving each other in the death of Colvin--Stephen's amounting to a confession of murder. They were tried and sentenced to be hanged; the state legislature however commuted Jesse's sentence to life imprisonment. As a last resort a notice was placed in the papers requesting information about Colvin. A farmer in Monmouth County New Jersey believed he recognized a hired man in the vicinity from the description. This man who was mentally deranged was enticed to Manchester arriving.six weeks before the day set for Stephen's execution. It was definitively established that he was the missing Colvin; he had apparently wandered off on his own volition." McDade The Annals of Murder 114. unknown

Hayter's painting depicted one of the most sensational trials in English history: the repudiation of Queen Caroline by King George IV. After she refused to grant a divorce and renounce her title of Queen Consort the Earl of Liverpool introduced The Pains and Penalties Bill in Parliament in order to compel the king's demands through legislation. The bill alleged that Caroline had an affair with a commoner Bartolomeo Bergami while in Italy. The bill was approved by the House of Lords but it was not submitted to the House of Commons where it would have been defeated. Despite the King's best attempts Caroline was always a popular favorite. Indeed her popularity increased during the trial. Although she prevailed in the court of popular opinion she fell ill and died shortly after the coronation of George IV. She was certain that she was poisoned by one of the King's agents.

Clearly a salacious case it is presented here as a cautionary tale for "young gentlemen whose levity may bring them into a familiar situation."

William P. Maxwell Major Nathan Whiting Captain Allen Tillinghast: Officers of the Kentish Guards Before a General Court-Martial Holden at the Court-House In Providence April 27 1808 For Disobedience of Orders and Neglect of Duty. Warren RI: Printed by Nathaniel & John F. Phillips 1808. 41 4 pp. Errata slip pasted to verso of p.41. Octavo 7-3/4"x 4-3/4". Stab-stitched pamphlet fragments to wrapper along spine untrimmed edges. Moderate toning early owner signature to verso of final leaf. $650. Only edition. Formed in 1774 the Kentish Guards of Rhode Island boasted General Nathanael Greene as an original officer. The Guards distinguished themselves at the Siege of Boston and elsewhere. In 1807 Colonel David Pinniger refused an order to select six guardsmen for federal service asserting that the Guards's charter permitted the call up of the entire unit but not individual soldiers. Pinniger's refusal precipitated his court martial and that of the fellow officers who supported him. All were removed from office without further penalty. The guards elected replacement officers; no one went into the U.S. Army. This pamphlet was published by the officers after the "unfavorable result" of the court martial in order to protect their reputations. All aspects of the case are covered.

Only American edition. After a brilliant military career in the West Indies where his achievements impressed Lieutenant later Lord Admiral Nelson Colonel Despard was recalled from his command and dismissed on frivolous charges. He tried to clear his name and seek compensation but his complaints led to imprisonment without trial for two years. Financially ruined and bitter he came to resent the establishment. He joined the radical London Corresponding Society and revolutionary United Irishman and took part in a plot to organize uprisings in London and Ireland the latter with support from French revolutionaries. After the plot was foiled Despard and six others were convicted of treason. A highlight during the trial was Lord Admiral Nelson's testimony as a character witness on Despard's behalf. Despard and his co-conspirators share the dubious distinction of being the last men in Great Britain sentenced to be hanged drawn and quartered. However the king commuted their sentences to death by hanging followed by decapitation. Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law 14127. unknown
