1806pp. iv, xcv, 378, [xvi] + Frontis Portrait. Uncut. Original paper backed boards; spine almost perished, but most of the original printed paper label remains. 8vo. 230 mm. A great contemporary account of the last English impeachment trial conducted in the House of Lords. The accused was Henry Dundas, Lord Melville, considered to be the foremost Scotsman of the Eighteenth Century. The report of a Parliamentary Commission gave rise to considerable suspicions against him, as it was conclusively shown that large sums of public money during his tenure of office as Treasurer of the Navy (1782-1783 and 1784-1800) had been applied to other uses than those of the navy. It is interesting to note that Dundas could have avoided these proceedings, had he submitted to criminal charges, but he chose to face impeachment, anticipating that his chances were better before his fellow Lords. After a trial lasting fifteen days he was acquitted on all charges by his peers. Marke 1016; Goldsmiths' 19262-63. Includes an informative DNB article on Lord Melville. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W151

The first edition of this report of the last impeachment trial to be held in the House of Lords.

1800réf. AQ35203Dublin: Published by John Rea 1800. 48pp. Disbound. Inked ownership inscription to head of title. Later bookseller's ticket of Wildy & Sons Ltd. of London to foot of title. Light scattered staining and spotting throughout. The sole edition of a witness account of the scandalous trial of Assistant Deputy Post-Master and apothecary Arthur Wallace of Carlow Ireland indicted under the charges that 'on the 1st March in the 40th year of the King at Carlow he feloniously did secrete and embezzle a packet directed to Henry Loftus Tottenham at Ross which packet was sent by the post'. Despite the severity of the charges Wallace received countless recorded testimonies of good character being described by his own prosecution as 'a man of honour and integrity'. As such convicting Wallace of defrauding the mail required definitive evidence which was collected with the assistance of one Mr. De Joncourt described as a man 'of considerable sagacity’ and a ‘gentleman of considerable trust in the Department of the General Post Office'. In an almost-cartoonish fashion Joncourt's interrogation of the 'honest sober and industrious' Wallace revealed a great deal of repossessed banknotes in 'an inside concealed pocket' which were promptly identified as those missing from Tottenham's package. Wallace was accused of subsequently forging numerous counterfeit bills to replace those stolen and circulating them across the county; he was sentenced to death with execution ordered for the 16th of August 1800. .

Edges first and final leaves dust-soiled uncut small tear to outer blank margin of two leaves and gutter of last little spotting. A speech delivered to the jury at a trial for adultery in Dublin by the lawyer Mr Phillips - an 'exquisite display of eloquence'. It comments on the fact that led Mr Guthrie the plaintiff he was representing and Mr Sterne to face one another in court as the latter had a relationship with Mrs Guthrie and convinced her to escape with him. The repenting Mrs Guthrie 'a poor wretch' returned home after Mr Sterne began to beat her. It was a very successful speech - 'a burst of applause from the whole Bar and auditory followed the delivery of the passage'. An interesting ephemeral survival shedding light on Irish marital law.
