Goring appears only once, on 19 May 1793, 'Dine at H Tooke’s, with Gonzaga, Tooke, Harwood,
Seward, Knight, Goring, Wathen, Sharpe, Joice, Symonds and Dyson.' However, he features in
the 1796 list - under 1793. Because of the context - dinner at Tooke's - we
can identify him as Charles Goring, member of the Society for Constitutional Information. In Thomas Hardy's trial, printed
in A
Complete Collection of State Trials and Proceedings for High Treason and other Crimes
and Misdemeanors, there is a reference to Charles Goring as one of the stewards of an SCI meeting
on 2 May 1794. Several of the other stewards were also at the Tooke dinner - Knight, Joyce, Sharp -
or have known Tooke/SCI links, so I think we can be confident that this Charles Goring is the same
Goring that Godwin meets in 1793.
