| Description | Lord Suffolk and George III discuss the case of Jones, who is due to be executed, in light of Justice Willes's report. Lord Suffolk advises caution due to the suspicious nature of the testimony against him and the likely consequence of future false allegations. George III is convinced of his guilt and that his execution will show others, guilty of the same crime, that they will be brought to justice. |
