“The trial here described was on an indictment alleging that Lyman had charged Webster with having conspired with other leading Federalists in 1807-‘08 to break up the union on account of the Embargo acts, and to re-annex the New England states to the mother country.” (Dial). The case was submitted to the grand jury in the supreme judicial court, and an indictment returned. It was then tried with the result that the jury disagreed, and when the solicitor-general proclaimed that every resource had been exhausted, the case was dropped. The trial, based as it was upon political rather than personal motives, did not disturb the relation of friendship between the two men.
