At head of text: "Times" Report the first of three editions published by the Boston Daily Times. One of several publications about this celebrated notorious case consuming much contemporary print. Fairchild allegedly seduced a young woman Rhoda Davidson of Edgecomb Maine while she was a domestic in his family. She had a child and nominated Fairchild as the father. Fairchild claimed that rival ministers had defamed him by calling him an habitual libertine and adulterer. This pamphlet includes witnesses' testimony including that of Miss Davidson. "In all he might have had 15 or 20 connections with me." The pamphlet closes with the verdict of Not Guilty; "the audience burst out in involuntary applause which was immediately checked."

Adolf Beck was twice the victim of wrongful conviction on two related cases due to mistaken identity. The efforts of the judge who presided over his second trial led to the establishment of a committee of inquiry chaired by the noted jurist and Master of the Rolls Sir Richard Henn Collins 1842-1911. The committee determined that Beck was convicted twice through unreliable methods of identification erroneous eyewitness testimony and a rush to convict the accused. Along with its influence on police procedure the committee's report led to the creation of the English Court of Criminal Appeal in 1907.

They were tried under the Witchcraft Act of 1603 by the eminent judge Sir Matthew Hale. Found guilty of all the charges the women were hanged in Bury St. Edmunds a week after the trial. Well-known in its day this remains the most famous English witchcraft trial because it was thanks to this account well-documented.

Moderate toning occasional light foxing negligible light soiling to title page and verso of final leaf. $2500. Only edition. People of the State of New York v. Harry Croswell also known as People v. Croswell is a landmark case in the history of the First Amendment. It was a prosecution for criminal libel under the Sedition Act in the Court of General Sessions of the Peace of Columbia County New York. Croswell was indicted for an article published in The Wasp a Federalist newspaper he edited that accused Jefferson of hiring James Callender to write articles attributing various crimes to Washington and Adams. Crosswell was defended by a distinguished team of lawyers among them Alexander Hamilton. In one of his greatest and most influential speeches and one of the last he gave in his lifetime Hamilton argued that freedom of the press consists in publishing the truth from good motives and for justifiable ends however it may reflect on its subjects. More important he argued for a rejection of libel based on English rules which remained a part of New York law especially the rule that truthfulness is not a reason for acquittal. Croswell was convicted but he was not sentenced or retried. And the cause of his case was mooted the following year when the New York State Legislature abandoned English libel law in favor of one based on Hamilton's argument. It became the law of the land when the other states and the Federal government followed New York's example. Ford Bibliotheca Hamiltoniana 90. Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law 13322. unknown‎

Dickens's model for Mr. Jaggers in Great Expectations Harmer was a lawyer who practiced in the criminal courts. His daily experience led him to expose miscarriages of justice in order to promote reforms in criminal procedure. One such instance was the trial of Holloway and Haggerty who were convicted through flimsy evidence and the testimony of a witness with questionable motives. It was a controversial trial so the execution attracted an unusually large crowd of about 40000 people. About 40 people were trampled to death as the crowd attempted to push closer to the scaffold.

Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas And a Special Jury; Together with the Proceedings of a Public Meeting of Merchants Bankers and Others Held at the Mansion House London Friday October 1 1841 On the Subject of Such Action And of the Committee then Appointed; And Also a List of Subscribers to "The Times" Testimonial.

A sensational case of a million-pound plot to defraud continental bankers by forged letters of credit or lettres circulaires purporting to have been issued by the bankers Glyn Hallifax Mills & Co. The plot was exposed by a Times of London correspondent in a letter published in the newspaper on 26th May 1840 which referred to "the great forgery company established on the continent lately detected" and naming the co-conspirators. These included the Marquis of Bourbel "the chief of the gang" the Baron Louis d'Arjuzon alias De Castel Pipe "an Englishman who professes to be a solicitor in London" and Cunningham Graham "an anonymous partner in the house of Bogle Kerrich and Co." The case was sensational in both social and in banking circles. It exposed the largely unregulated and certainly sloppy banking practices associated with letters of credit easy to forge and difficult to police and the almost brilliant ingenuity of an international gang of con men. The naming of Allan George Bogle-who was almost certainly involved-triggered this libel action against John Joseph Lawson the printer and publisher of the Times and resulted in the award of one farthing damages for Bogle but enormous expense and the co. unknown‎

The Sham-Robbery Committed by Elijah Putnam Goodridge on His Own Person In Newbury Near Essex Bridge Dec. 19 1816: With a History of His Journey to the Place Where he Robbed Himself: and His Trial with Mr. Ebenezer Pearson Whom he Maliciously Arrested for Robbery: Also the Trial of Levi & Laban Kenniston. Concord NH: Printed for the Author 1819. 151 1 pp. 12mo 6-3/4" x 4-1/4". Stab-stitched pamphlet in plain wrappers untrimmed edges. Light soiling and a few minor stains wrappers worn but secure. Light browning to text light foxing in a few places faint dampstaining to a few leaves "Daniel Webster Jr" in pencil to front endleaf and recto of rear wrapper "Polly Webster" to rear free endpaper. $450. Only edition. Full account of the several trials connected with this famous Massachusetts case by one of the accused. Daniel Webster served as one of the defense attorneys shortly after his return to private practice following his two terms in Congress. The respected and well-connected Major Goodridge's accusation of robbery against the witless low-life Kenniston brothers was supported by popular sentiment until Webster began his defence which meticulously unraveled the Major's story and succeeded in gaining the Kenniston's acquittal. The trial was an early landmark in Webster's legal career and his final address to the jury first printed here is considered a classic of Webster's oratory. It was later anthologized. Daniel Fletcher Webster 1818-1862 known as Fletcher Webster was Daniel Webster's eldest son. Chief Clerk of the U.S. State Department when his father was Secretary of State he commanded the 12th Massachusetts Infantry during the Civil War. He was killed at the Second Battle of Bull Run. We are unsure of the identity of Polly Webster. Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law 14017. unknown‎
