A trial held in front of Lord Kenyon on July 9 1792; Rose a minister of the exchequer and supporter of Pitt had been involved in a controversy over election fraud and payments in March and an unsuccessful Parliamentary inquiry had been launched against him on March 13 1792.

Williams and Tattersall were both found liable for damages of £100--something of a hard blow for Tattersall who had earlier that day been found liable for £4000 for a libel against Lady Elizabeth Lambert after the Morning Post had alleged she was unchaste after her elopement with a footman.
