'Though a good lawyer, he was known to be grossly immoral, quarrelsome and unscrupulous.While a protestant, he professed ardent Jacobitism, and hoped to be made lord chancellor in the event of a restoration of the Stuarts. Accordingly he went to Rome In the summer of 1721, and there unfolded to the Pretender the details of a wondrous plot 'which', he declared, 'no one would understand till it had been carried out successfully.' He proposed to enlist broken soldiers, seize the Tower, the Mint, the Bank, and other public buildings, secure the royal family, and murder the commander-in-chief and ministers whenever the conspirators could find them together.He tried to entice soldiers at Romford and Leytonstone, and succeeded in enlisting a handful of malcontents.He was betrayed by two female friends and placed under arrest in a messenger's home, from which he managed to escape, but was retaken after an exciting chase the same evening and losely confined in the Tower.The case was carried to the court of king's bench on 31 Oct. 1722.The trial was opened on 21 Nov.after a trial of eighteen hours, the jury unanimously found a verdict of guilty.He was condemened to be hanged, drawn, and quartered.'
