(London, 1714) and "The Bristol Riot; Containing I. A Full and Particular Account of the Riot in General with Several Material Circumstances Preceding and Contributing to it; II. The Whole Proceedings Relating to the Tryal..."(London, 1714). The latter pamphlet was apparently published before the trial. I have not seen a copy that contains Part II.
