Trial Narrative
A FULL REPORT OF THE HIGHLY INTERESTING BREACH OF PROMISE CASE: John J. Gaul and Mary H. His Wife
New York: New-York Transcript 1835. Presumed first edition of this narrative. 27 pages of densely packed small type. Harvard University in the introduction to their web-based "Studies in Scarlet" digital collection notes that tracts such as these are "especially valuable as sources for the study of the history of women as the cases involve not only trials for divorce domestic violence bigamy seduction breach of promise to marry and the custody of children but also those for murder and rape." In this particular case the plaintiff has brought suit against the woman to whom he was engaged because she married another. Disbound faded and stained though wholly legible.

Trial of Isham Stone
Proceedings of a Court Martial of long-AWOL Confederate soldier that imposed punishment which would be considered cruel and unusual today
Camp near Kenston North Carolina 1863. Unbound. Very good. This three-page summary of the proceedings of a Confederate Army Court Martial is dated "28th July 1863." The document is in nice shape. Transcript provided. Images in this listing not included. The proceedings document the trial of Isham Stone a Private in the 50th North Carolina Infantry who had been "absent without certification" for nine months after being discharged from an army hospital at Petersburg Virginia. Stone pleaded guilty and was sentence to what today would be considered cruel and unusual punishment: "And the Court do therefore sentence the said prvt Isham Stone Co 'B' 50th Regt N.C.T. to be bucked and gaged four hours each day for twenty days with a stick ¾ of an inch in diameter two hours in the morning and two in the evening and be compelled to walk the Guard line around the camp before the sentinels at the point of a bayonet with a 'Barrel Shirt' on for five days two hours in the morning and two in the evening of each day and be closely confined during the execution of the sentence.". Bucking and Gagging was a tortuous punishment. A soldier was forced to sit on the ground and bring his knees up to touch his chest. His arms would be wrapped around his legs and tied together with his ankles. Then a rough rod would be inserted under his knees and over his arms. The pain was excruciating. Finally the soldier was gagged usually with a stick or bar forced between his jaws like a horse's bit and tied tightly behind his neck. This was done both to cause more pain and to partially muffle his screaming. Upon release any movement of the legs was almost as painful as being bound so to stagger around a camp's perimeter in a "barrell shirt" at bayonet point must have been equally agonizing. This punishment was usually reserved for deserters who were not sentenced to execution and it made a vivid impression of other members of the unit. A less painful version was used for less serious offenses during the Mexican War; see p 394 Dolph's Sound Off! Soldiers Songs. Barrel shirts are exactly what they sound like. A prisoner would have a large heavy barrel lowered over his head and onto his shoulders. Manuscript records kept by Confederate court martial boards are decidedly uncommon and ones imposing bucking and gagging and barrel shirts are rare. At the time of listing other than this example none are for sale in the trade or have appeared at auction per the Rare Book Hub and Worthpoint. OCLC shows none held by institutions. unknown

TRIAL PHILLIPS Mr
The truly eloquent speech of Mr. Phillips at full length in the Court of Common Pleas Dublin in the case of Guthrie v. Sterne for Adultery
London: Printed by W. Glindon 1815. 16pp. Unbound with remains of original stitching. Edges first and final leaves dust-soiled uncut small tear to outer blank margin of two leaves and gutter of last little spotting. A speech delivered to the jury at a trial for adultery in Dublin by the lawyer Mr Phillips - an 'exquisite display of eloquence'. It comments on the fact that led Mr Guthrie the plaintiff he was representing and Mr Sterne to face one another in court as the latter had a relationship with Mrs Guthrie and convinced her to escape with him. The repenting Mrs Guthrie 'a poor wretch' returned home after Mr Sterne began to beat her. It was a very successful speech - 'a burst of applause from the whole Bar and auditory followed the delivery of the passage'. An interesting ephemeral survival shedding light on Irish marital law. COPAC records a single copy Oxford; OCLC adds no further. . 8vo. Printed by W. Glindon unknown

Trial Ticket
Ticket for the Trial of Warren Hastings
No Place: No Publisher Single sided ticket for the trial of Hastings n.d. but probably 1788 mounted framed and glazed. Lightly creased with possible repair to tear to bottom half not examined out of frame small piece missing from the top left hand corner apparently removed as a method of cancellation once the trial had been attended though this seems unlikely to this cataloguer. Remnants of an old auction description pasted to reverse. The ticket is for the twenty-third day of the trial and so it is likely to have been in the first year of the trial. The trial of Hastings which took place sporadically between 1788 and 1795 was an attempt to impeach the first Governor-General of India for misconduct mismanagement and corruption. The proceedings began with a lengthy address by Burke and Hastings himself noted "for the first half hour I looked up to the orator in a reverie of wonder and during that time I felt myself the most culpable man on earth" Wikipedia. Hastings was eventually acquitted in 1795. First Edition. Framed and Glazed. Good. 16mo. Ticket. No Publisher Hardcover

It fell to Pinney as mayor to receive him. Crowds gathered to meet Wetherell and stoned the carriage in which he and Pinney were riding and later the mansion house where they had taken refuge. Incensed the crowd broke in and ransacked the ground floor. Pinney followed Wetherell's example and escaped over the roof while the rioters looted the house.

On 25 October 1832 Pinney was put on trial in the court of king's bench charged with neglect of duty in his office as mayor during the riots.

A fine copy. First edition. A celebrated and publicly controversial court-martial Colonel Quentin or Quintin being charged with 4 counts of behaviour 'unbecoming and disgraceful to his character as an officer prejudicial to good order and military discipline and contrary to the articles of war'. The charges related variously to events in the field in France in the valley of Macoy in Jan. 1814 near the village of Hagelman in the Landes in Feb. 1814 and during the battle of Toulouse in April 1814. The fourth charge was a catchall charge of 'general neglect of duty by allowing a relaxed discipline to exist in the regiment under his command when on foreign service'. Though a number of the charges were found against Quentin the army authorities decided that the insubordination of his officers was of greater threat to military discipline and had the officers transferred to other regiments a move that earned them the sobriquet of the 'elegant extracts'.

TRIAL: Duncan STEVENSON
Report of the trial of the issues in the action of damages for libel in the Beacon James Gibson of Ingliston Esq. Clerk to the Signet - Pursuer against Duncan Stevenson printer in Edinburgh - Defender.
Edinburgh: Archibald Constable and Co. 1822. 8vo. 8 139 1 2 2pp. including the half-title and final advertisement leaf recently well bound in cloth spine gilt lettered. A very good copy. First edition. This action relates to allegations printed in the Beacon> newspaper subsequent to prosecution of Frances Mackay for passing forges banknotes and is a notable Scottish libel trial. Duncan Stevenson & Co. was a highly successful Edinburgh printing company Stevenson himself being a dyed-in-the-wool Tory entirely opposed to political and social reform. The early 1820s was a time of considerable political confrontation with Stevenson's company being used to print highly contentious material. From its very first issue printed by Duncan Stevenson & Co. the Beacon> contained a vituperative attack in its leading article on the Whigs and their paper the Scotsman.> In 1821 occurred a nasty confrontation with James Stuart of Dunearn and in the following year 1822 a libel action brought against the Beacon> by Lord Archibald Hamilton M.P. 'Much more serious was the Beacon's> libel of John Gibson of Ingleston a Writer to the Signet and agent of the Bank of England in Edinburgh who was described as 'a great agent of Whiggism.' The newspaper accused Gibson of impropriety in bringing a prosecution in 1819 for counterfeiting then a capital offence against Frances Mackay whom he had paid to turn King's evidence. With the backing of the Bank Gibson went to court. The trial which followed that of Lord Archibald was aglitter with many senior figures in Scottish public life appearing at witnesses. As the Beacon> had also cast doubt on the independence of the Scottish judiciary the judge and counsel at the trial of Frances Mackay along with Frances herself and her father appeared as witnesses. The trumped up nature of the attack became obvious when it emerged that Frances who believed she was on trial for her life had been relieved to be spared the alternative punishment of transportation by a Royal Pardon. The evidence made it clear that her trial had been conducted fairly and properly. During the trial questioning of William Mitchell a friend of Stevenson revealed that when Mitchell had urged him to apologise to Gibson Stevenson had admitted 'Ruined I am backed by those who could stand for a million of damages'. It then emerged that none other than the Lord Advocate Sir William Rae and other leading Tories had signed a bond as sureties for �100 each for any debt that Stevenson might incur with the Bank of Scotland. In the circumstances the jury took little time in awarding Gibson �500 damages. The hot-blooded James Stuart was not satisfied and demanded satisfaction of the Lord Advocate who with no taste for duelling disavowed his association with the paper. Gibson then challenged Walter Scott who had been a reluctant signatory of the bond to a duel. The Earl of Lauderdale agreed to be his second but before the bullets flew good sense intervened. It was agreed that the Beacon> should cease publication immediately and the threats of duels were withdrawn. These events seem to have done Stevenson no harm for in 1823 he became Printer to the University.' Michael Moss The curious case of Duncan Stevenson: printer to Edinburgh University.> Edinburgh: Archibald Constable and Co. 1822 hardcover

TRIAL: Edward Gibbon WAKEFIELD
The trial of Edward Gibbon Wakefield William Wakefield and Frances Wakefield indicted with one Edward Thevenot a servant for a conspiracy and for the abduction of Miss Ellen Turner the only child and heiress of William Turner Esq. of Shrigley Park in the county of Chester.
London: John Murray 1827. 8vo. xv 1 350pp. complete with the half-title and Appendix pp.305-350 half-title rather soiled rebound relatively recently in cloth with a leather gilt lettered spine label. A solid workmanlike but not very appealing binding. A good copy nonetheless. First edition: complete with the rare Appendix. The original account of one of the most celebrated English criminal trials of the 19th century which resulted in the young Edward Gibbon Wakefield 1796-1862 later to be the acclaimed colonial statesman being sent to prison for three years. In 1816 he had made a runaway match with an heiress and ward in chancery Eliza Susan Pattle the orphan daughter of a Canton merchant. He afterwards returned to Turin as secretary to the under-secretary of the legation and after his wife's death on 5 July 1820 he became connected with the Paris legation. In 1826 urged on by the persuasions of his friends in Paris he made a foolhardy attempt to improve his prospects by a second marriage. On 7 March by a false message he beguiled from school Ellen Turner the daughter of William Turner of Shrigley a wealthy Cheshire manufacturer inducing her by representing that her father's fortune depended on her compliance to go through a ceremony of marriage at Gretna Green. He took the lady with him to Calais but forbore to consummate the marriage; at Calais he was overtaken by his bride's enraged relatives who induced her to leave him. Wakefield returned to England to share the fate of his accomplice his brother William who had already been arrested. They were both sentenced to three years' imprisonment. The question of the legality of the marriage was involved in so much doubt that it was cancelled by special Act of Parliament. Some two years after his release he published the result of his prison experience and reflections Facts relating to the Punishment of Death in the Metropolis> London 1831 8vo a book remarkable alike for its insight and for its extraordinary power of portrayal. To his clear demonstration that punishment is deterrent according to its certainty not according to its severity the amelioration of English criminal law was largely due.

TRIAL: George ROSE
The trial of George Rose Esq. Secretary to the Treasury &c. for employing Mr. Smith a publican in Westminster upon a late Westminster election and not paying him; on which he was on Thursday the 21st of July 1791 cast in the Court of King's Bench by a special jury in the sum of one hundred and ten pounds five shillings. Taken in short hand by a barrister. This is the most curious trial ever yet published for displaying the arts of our heaven-born minister to obtain his candidates seats in Parliament.
London: J. Ridgway. 1791. 8vo. 64pp. including the half-title contemporary half calf over marbled boards neatly rebacked to match spine lettered in gilt. A very good copy. First edition. This was a trial that exposed to public scrutiny the worst excesses of a corrupt electoral system and probably hastened the unstoppable clamour for electoral reform. George Rose 1744-1818 politician and publicist was one of Pitt's political fixers. 'The emergence of William Pitt as premier in December 1783 transformed Rose who had pledged his allegiance to Pitt following their meeting in Paris in autumn 1783 into senior patronage secretary to the Treasury. In 1784 he acquired the mastership of the exchequer pleas for life which in 1797 he exchanged for the office of keeper of records in the receipt of the exchequer. His management of elections and public relations as well as his responsibility for financial questions required his constant attendance in parliament where he sat for Launceston on the duke of Northumberland's interest from 1784. He was elected for Lymington on 1 July 1788 after failing to secure the support of the new duke for his re-election to Launceston on succeeding to the Lords clerkships. He was by now enjoying an annual income of over �4000 and so ceded the emoluments of the Journals> office but ensured that his wife received a pension of �300 per annum in lieu. At this time Rose won the confidence of George III who visited his house Cuffnells near Lyndhurst in Hampshire in June 1789 when travelling from Weymouth. From 1788 to 1790 he was preoccupied with electoral surveys for Pitt to ensure a more secure majority at the next general election. He also secured his own parliamentary success on purchasing the interest at Christchurch where he had a cottage in addition to his Cuffnells estate. He retained this manageable seat from 1790 until his death. It was the kind of constituency that Pitt himself would have abolished in his parliamentary reform proposals of 1785 the first of Pitt's measures that Rose candidly opposed. He had cultivated his interest in Hampshire by obtaining the office of verderer of the New Forest in March 1788 and became deputy warden in 1808 but his bumptiousness did make him some enemies. In 1791 he was successfully sued in the king's bench for unpaid debts to George Smith a publican who had helped detect improper votes in the 1788 Westminster by-election. For this he was castigated notably in an unsuccessful motion for a parliamentary inquiry on 13 March 1792 and in the pamphlet Trial of G. Rose> which added impetus to the radical campaign for parliamentary reform.' Roland Thorne in ODNB The report of George Rose's trial in the present volume is followed pp. 54-64 by a hard-hitting anti-Rose essay entitled Reflections addressed to George Rose Esq.> and signed 'Alfred' in which the pseudonymous author should be 'permitted to retire to Cuffnels; and escape by seclusion the scornful pointed finger of your indignant country'. Cuffnells was Rose's country house near Lyndhurst in Hampshire. London: J. Ridgway. 1791 hardcover

Kress C.556. One of several versions of the trial published more or less simultaneously in Manchester Leeds London and perhaps elsewhere. This Dolby printing sympathetic to the defendants is said to be 'excessively rare rigidly suppressed' although this is surely an exaggeration.

He had unsuccessfully conducted his own defense. The trial is here reported more or less verbatim it lasted from 16th to 27th March and includes the statements of the defendants and the cross-examination of some 84 witnesses. The editor probably Dolby suggests that 'this important trial will be read and listened to with the liveliest interest wherever there is a spark of humanity or justice to be found' Preface.

TRIAL: James MACKCOULL
Memoir of the life and trial of James Mackcoull of Moffat who died in the county jail of Edinburgh on the 22d December 1820; containing a full account of his trial before the Jury Court and High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh for robbing the branch of the Paisley Union Bank at Glasgow of twenty thousand pounds. Illustrated with notes anecdotes and a portrait. With an appendix containing Mr. Donovan's Journal from Glasgow to London in trace of the robbery and other curious papers.
Edinburgh: John Anderson Jun. 1822. 8vo engraved portrait of Mackcoull vii i 317pp. including a folding table with 4pp. of publishers' advertisements bound in at the beginning efficiently but not beautifully bound fairly recently in cloth-backed boards spine simply lettered. A very good uncut copy. First edition. The fascinating almost gripping anatomy of a big-time bank robbery �20000 was by any standards a massive amount of money. James Mackcoull was born in London in 1763 the son of a respectable pocket-book maker and small shopkeeper but of a disreputable mother. Of James's sister and two brothers one brother was hanged for theft in 1786 and the sister was a habitual and notorious thief like her mother. The oldest of the boys John moved in and out of crime but ended up in Worthing where he opened the Apollo Library and lived in relative respectability. James embarked on and continued a life of crime. For the bank robbery in Scotland he was sentenced to death a sentence later to be commuted. The case and this description throws light not only on the criminal underclass of late Georgian Edinburgh but also on Scottish banking systems and methods of remitting large sums of money. Edinburgh: John Anderson, Jun., 1822 hardcover
