1836ref. 859071836. Rare Account of a "Brutal and Barbarous" Victorian Assault in Northern England: 1 Copy Located by OCLC and Library Hub Broadside. Rape. Urwin Nicholas 1807-1898. Smith Thomas. The Trial and Conviction of Nicholas Urwin and Thomas Smith At Durham Assizes March 1836 For a Brutal and Barbarous Assault on the Body of Mary Dodds An Old Woman Aged 77 Near Crawcrook On Sunday July 5 1836 sic. Newcastle: W. Kent Printer 99 Side 1836. 10" x 7" 25.4 x 17.8 cm broadside mounted to 10-1/2" x 7-3/4" 26.7 x 19.7 cm backing sheet. Text in two columns below headline. Moderate toning small spot near upper-right corner. A well-preserved copy of a rare broadside. $1750. A harrowing account of a "brutal and barbarous" Victorian assault. The broadside details the trial of Nicholas Urwin 25 and Thomas Smith 29 for the violation and robbery of 77-year-old Mary Dodds. The text utilizes the period's characteristic euphemistic reporting noting the witness described the scene "in a manner which left no doubt that she had undergone violation." The assault was particularly vicious; Dodds was beaten until her "nose bled for three weeks" and threatened with decapitation if she cried out. A Notable Bibliographic Error: While this broadside concludes with the dramatic assertion that both men were sentenced to be executed on April 7 1836 contemporary records reveal a different outcome. While Smith's fate followed the gallows Urwin's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment; he was subsequently transported to Australia to serve a life term of penal labor. Such discrepancies underscore the rush of local printers like W. Kent to capitalize on sensational crimes before the final judicial ink was dry.

2002Very light shelfwear to DJ else Fine. ; Cambridge Classical Studies; 0.8 x 8.7 x 5.5 Inches; 260 pages; Were acts of sex which we would call rape and regard as a criminal offence similarly regarded in classical Athens? That is the main question posed in this book, the first in-depth study of the topic ever to be undertaken. It considers the legal terminology for rape and discusses exactly what these different terms describe. It also examines literary stories where rape and/or seduction feature as plot devices and looks at different characters' responses to them. The book's presentation makes it accessible to a wider readership of non-classicists.
