On the 9th of June, 1817, an alarming insurrection broke out at SouthWinfield, in this county. The insurgents, who were chiefly inhabitants of South-Winfield and some neighbouring villages, proceeded towards Nottingham, in pursuit of their rash enterprise; the object of which was the overthrow of the constitution. They were met by a party of the military within a few miles of the above-mentioned town, and speedily dispersed. Many of the insurgents taken on this occasion were committed to the prisons of Nottingham and Derby, and tried by a special commission at Derby, in the month of October following; when three out of four of the ringleaders, who had been tried and convicted of high-treason, were executed at Derby, on the 7th of November. Nineteen others, who had pleadednot guilty,withdrew that plea, and having pleadedguilty, by the advice of their counsel, were reprieved: and twelve were acquitted, no evidence having been offered against them.

P. for Nottingham, and one of the judges of King Charles I. The late Mr. Holden of Darleyabbey, who died without issue, was descended from Alexander, third son of Samuel Holden above-mentioned, by the heiress of Atkinson.
