Excerpt from The Trial of John Peltier, for a Libel Against Napoleon Buonaparte?, First Consul of the French Republic: At the Court of King"s Bench, Middlesex, on Monday the 21st of February 1803
The 21st of February was the day fixed to decide on the prosecution which had been instituted against me, at the instigation of the French Government, for having caused to be printed and published certain Libels against the Supreme Head of the French Republic. By a strange and unaccountable fatality, which appears to be attached to all the events of my private life, this same 21st of February was also the day appointed for the execution of Colonel Despard, and of six of his accomplices, convicted of having conspired against the life of their lawful Sovereign.
