[edit] Pains and Penalties Bill 1820

ODNB says ". . . convince many peers of her guilt, many also feared that her condemnation would spark off popular rioting or even revolution. Ministers realized that even if the Lords passed the bill the House of Commons would almost certainly reject it under intense pressure from their constituents. The bill passed its third reading in the Lords by only nine votes and Liverpool, the prime minister, announced on 10 November that it would proceed no further. SOURCE: E. A. Smith, ‘Caroline (1768–1821)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 accessed 30 Sept 2006.
