London, 1806. Second ed. Edward Mangin's copy. With Interesting Manuscript Commentary by a Notable Irish Writer [Trial]. [Great Britain]. Patch, Richard, Defendant [c.1770-1806]. The Trial of Richard Patch, For the Wilful Murder of Mr. Isaac Blight, September 23, 1805, At Rotherhithe, In the County of Surry; Before the Right Hon. Sir A. Macdonald, Knt.
