Robert Walpole foiled the Atterbury Plot by preventive arrests and
holding those he suspected illegally without bail or trial. When
Parliament met and the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended, he used
show trials, decided by votes along party lines and depending on
forged evidence, to curb the Tory party, to reuinted the Whig party
and to consolidate his hold on power. Rich in new material, this
book unravels for the first time the scale and international
dimension of a plot which posed the most serious challenge to the
Hanoverian regime before the '45 rebellion.
