Led by Arthur Thistlewood the event known as the Cato Street Conspiracy was an attempt to murder all of the ministers and prime minister of King George IV in 1820. Motivated in part by the economic depression of the period the conspirators wished to avenge earlier protests suppressed by the state such as the Peterloo Massacre. The conspirator's goal was to overthrow the government and initiate a revolution similar to the French Revolution. Betrayed by one of the co-conspirators Thistlewood and four others were captured tried and executed. There are many accounts of this trial nearly all published in London. This account printed by John Barr is rare. Library Hub locates 1 copy at the British Library.

There were tables about the room on which lay a number of cutlasses bayonets &c. As the officers entered the room the conspirators all started up when Ruthven who had been furnished with a warrant from the Magistrate exclaimed - “We are peace-officers! Lay down your arms!” A smart contest instantly commenced. A man whom Ruthven describes as Arthur Thistlewood opposed himself to the officers armed with a cut and thrust sword of unusual length. Ellis advanced to the man and presenting his pistol exclaimed “Drop your sword or I'll fire instantly!” The sword was brandished with increasing violence and Smithers attempting to seize him was stabbed in the heart. He fell into the arms of Ellis exclaiming “Oh God!” and in the next instant was a corpse.' Pollock, Printer, North Shields. No date [March 1820]. unknown
