Dolby, Thomas2019
eBook
Henry Hunt, Samuel Bamford and eight other leaders of the Manchester rally were tried in York in March 1820 on charges of sedition. The two-week trial was nationally reported and 85 witnesses appeared. The authorities came out of the trial badly and no-one was found guilty of any actual sedition, but five of the ten defendants were convicted on the single charge of seditious intent and gaoled for a year or more.
