        <mods:title>Attempt to Assassinate [sic] the King</mods:title>
        <mods:subTitle>On the second of August 1786 Margaret Nicholson under the pretence of presenting a Petition, attempted to stab his Majesty as he was alighting from his Chariot at the garden entrance to St. James's Palace, near Marlborough Wall, but was happily prevented by Mr. Topper one of the King's footmen and an attendant Yeoman by whom she was secured. At the same time the Sovereign with great coolness &amp; humanity said "I have received no injury - Don't hurt the Woman - The poor Creature appears to be insane." After several examinations no doubt of her insanity remaining she was sent to Bethlem Hospital.</mods:subTitle>
