" An affidavit was produced on the part of the Prisoner , stating , that he went to see the King go to the House of Peers merely from curiosity ; that he was not
connected with any party or body of men , nor did he speak to any person in the crowd , or intend in any respect to insult his Majesty ; that his principles were perfectly in favour of the Constitution and Government of this Country , and that the reason of his running so near the King's coach was , because he was very short-sighted , and anxious to see his Majesty . Thirteen persons swore to the prisoner ' s being short-sighted , and bore testimony to his being a young man of good character . Mr . Erskinc addressed a few words to the Court , in mitigation of punishment .
He dwelt upon the circumstance of the prisoner hot going to the procession in company with any disaffected persons , but his being a casual spectator , totally unconnected with ; u \ y association or conspiracy formed for any disloyal purposes . Mr . Serjeant Sh-jpherd followed on thy same side .

It was an outrage o . i the person of the King , while he was in the discharge of one of the most important
duties to the country . The Court considered the offence to be' of a vary serious nature , and therefore would take time to consider of the punishment . In the m .-aii time the prisoner was remanded to Newgate .
