Synopsis
Excerpt from The Housekeeper, or the White Rose: A Comedy in Two Acts
IN 1772, says a history of the reign of George the First, the partizans of the Pretender began once more to bestir them selves in his favour, in the supposition, doubtless, that the shock produced by the failure of the South Sea project, would be favour able to their designs. The measures of government, however, were so judicious and prompt, that the conspiracy was crushed in embryo. Several noblemen were arrested on suspicion: Bishop Atterbury was exiled for life; but only one person, Christopher Layer, a barrister of the Temple, suffered capital punishment. He was convicted of high treason, in enlisting men for the service of the Pretender.
