‎THE EDGWARE ROAD MURDER.‎

‎A volume of contemporary newspaper clippings pamphlets and broadsheet publications relating to The Edgware Road Murder of 1837.‎

‎London: various publishers 1837. Horrible Murder and Mutilation Quarto 305 x 180 mm approximately 100 leaves of clippings articles and pamphlets mounted on wove paper. Recent brown cloth dark brown skiver label lettered in gilt. Some wood-engraved illustrations. A few closed-tears to newspaper clippings otherwise in very good condition. A fascinating assemblage of printed material relating to the cause celebre of 1837 the brutal murder and dismemberment on Christmas Eve 1836 of Hannah Brown by James Greenacre 1785-1837 forever after known as The Edgware Road Murderer. This collection was compiled by someone eagerly following the case and attests to the grip that it exerted on the public mind: at the time of the trial ephemera of all sorts poured onto the market and after his execution "plays based on the Edgware Road murder were given in the penny theatres and an effigy of Greenacre was made for Madame Tussaud's waxwork exhibition" ODNB. Included here are the scarce Paddington Murder Sheet - a lurid "special" issued by The Weekly Chronicle - and other decidedly uncommon pieces including Fairburn's comprehensive coverage of the trial and an issue of The New Doctor with the front page given over to the phrenological aspect of the Greenacre case. "About September 1836 when living at 6 Carpenter's Buildings Camberwell Greenacre advertised in The Times for a partner to provide £300 for the commercial exploitation of his washing machine which he had designed and built while living in the United States; it was answered by a washerwoman named Hannah Brown. She was the widow of a shoemaker Thomas Brown who had met his death at sea when he left her to go to America. She stated that she had just the sum of money Greenacre was looking for and a marriage between them was arranged for Christmas day 1836 in St Giles Camberwell. On 24 December when she joined him at his house he murdered her. He cut up the body and disposed of the pieces in various localities round London where they began to be found later in December the head for example in the Regent's Canal at Stepney the torso was discovered at the exotically named Pineapple Gate Edgware Road giving the case its soubriquet. Inspector Feltham was put in charge of the case and on 24 March 1837 arrested Greenacre who was preparing to sail for America at St Alban's Place Kennington Road. With him was also arrested his mistress Sarah Gale: Hannah Brown's earrings were found in Gale's possession. Greenacre who was by now aged fifty-one or fifty-two of middle height and stout build was visited in prison by members of parliament and noblemen. The trial at the central criminal court at which Greenacre appeared clad in a blue coat a fancy waistcoat and a black stock lasted two days 10 and 11 April 1837 and both defendants were convicted and sentenced to death. Greenacre insisted that Gale had not known about the murder to which he ultimately admitted and her sentence was commuted to transportation for life to Australia where she died in 1888. Greenacre tried to hang himself in his cell and spent his time writing many letters and explanatory documents. He was hanged on 2 May 1837 in front of Newgate the execution being witnessed by at least 20000 persons who gathered over two days; a fairground atmosphere prevailed with prize-fighters sparring under the gallows to keep the crowd amused. Greenacre showed great self-possession and strength of nerve on the scaffold where he asked 'Don't leave me too long in the concourse and make the rope tight'. Back in Newgate Greenacre's head was shaved for examination by phrenologists before he was buried in the prison. He was survived by four of his children. Plays based on the Edgware Road murder were given in the penny theatres and an effigy of Greenacre was made for Madame Tussaud's waxwork exhibition. Greenacre's death mask made on 4 May 1837 by J. Miller of Theobald's Road later became an exhibit in New Scotland Yard's Black Museum along with handwritten notes which he passed to his counsel during the trial" ibid. Contents: "Frontispiece" of a Gothic archway printed on purple paper probably cut from the front wrapper of a periodical. Autograph letter signed: "Sunday evening Dear Crow I send you some Greenacreiana which I saved while cutting out some dramatic scraps - I also send a Satirist a weekly London scandal sheet & an Age another weekly not having time to clip you out the other tidbits concerning the great Criminal. Pray keep the dramatic bits of both for me. Yours ever Moor and addressed at the foot to: Jim Crow Esq". An interesting contemporary letter addressed joshingly to "Jim Crow Esq" - Thomas Dartmouth Rice the American blackface performer and originator of the persona of "Jim Crow" had performed to enthusiastic audiences in London in 1836. Approximately 45 pages of contemporary newspaper clippings relevant to the case dated in a contemporary hand. The Edgware-Road Tragedy.

‎The Trials of Henry Sanderson, for Shooting Wm. Carr, and Robt. Bamford, Adam Adie, and William Knight, for the Murder of John Timms, at Nottingham Lent Assizes, 1822; with some Particulars of their Lives, Behaviour, and Execution.‎

‎12mo (150 x 85 mm) 37, [1]pp., several leaves mounted on stubs, new boards. Henry Sanderson, Adam Adie and Robert Bamford, were for murder, on Friday, March 22, 1822. Sanderson was out shooting pheasants, when he was apprehended by William Carr, gamekeeper to Sir Thomas Wollaston White. While wrestling with the gun Carr was shot, but he lived just long enough to identify his assailant. Adie and Bamford underwent the penalty of the law for the murder of John Timms, aged 17. The three, along with William Knight, were out on the town, after they decided to go poaching but only just got passed Trent Bridge before it began to rain. They then abandoned their plan and went to the Three Horse Shoes public house. Here they argued who was to pay for the drink consumed, Timms, having treated them all in the afternoon, refused to pay more than his share. On the way home the three robbed Timms of his watch and three shillings in silver. Knight then knocked him down, and Adie threw him over the battlements of the bridge into the river Trent. Adie and Bamford were executed after Bamford confessed, but Knight could not be identified, and was consequently acquitted. NOT found on JISC or OCLC.‎
