1869Best.-Nr. 830041869. Manchester NH: Daily Mirror Office 1869. 46 pp. Manchester NH: Daily Mirror Office 1869. 46 pp. A Rare Somnambulism Sleepwalking and Insanity Defense: McDade 770 Trial. Prescott Abraham 1815-1836 Defendant. Report of the Trial of Abraham Prescott For the Murder of Mrs. Sally Cochran Of Pembroke June 23 1833. Executed at Hopkinton January 6 1836. Manchester NH: Daily Mirror Office 1869. 46 pp. Octavo 8-1/4" x 5-1/4"; 21 x 13.3 cm. Stab-stitched pamphlet in self-wrappers. Moderate toning very light foxing light soiling to exterior light edgewear and a few small tears to front wrapper which is separated but secured by thread. $450. First and only edition. Abraham Prescott 18 years old at the time had lived and worked with the Cochran family for several years. In January 1833 he had attacked both Chauncey and Sally Cochran in their sleep with an axe an incident the couple dismissed as an "unhappy occurrence of somnambulism" and did not press charges. Months later in June 1833 Prescott bludgeoned Sally Cochran to death with a wooden stake while they were picking strawberries. Prescott's defense attorneys argued that he committed the murder while sleepwalking and was not mentally responsible for his actions. Extensive testimony from medical experts and family members was presented to support claims of his troubled past history of sleep disturbances and hereditary insanity. Despite a vigorous defense the jury was unconvinced by the sleepwalking plea a novel legal strategy at the time. Prescott was found guilty in two separate trials and sentenced to death. The case garnered significant public attention and the controversy surrounding his mental state and eventual public execution led to the founding of New Hampshire's first mental institution. According to McDade "the defense was one of the best for that time on the subject of insanity" but the jury was unconvinced and Prescott was hanged. McDade notes that there is "much interesting information in this case on the superstitions and treatment of the weak-minded." An historical account offering insight into 19th-century law societal attitudes toward mental illness and the justice system of that era. McDade The Annals of Murder 770. unknown books

1848Best.-Nr. C14507London 1848. First Edition. Hardback. Slight rubbing otherwise very good. 8vo. pp. ix iii 165. Contemporary half light brown calf marbled boards lettered gilt on spine. A report of the case that caused a serious crisis in the professional career of Abraham Hayward Q.C. 1801 Ð 1884. He was appointed Queen's Counsel in early 1845 which was surprising to some as it was without the backing of a large legal pratice. When he was not elected a Bencher of his Inn in the usual manner it transpired that John Arthur Roebuck Q.C. 1801 Ð 1879 a politician had a past grievance that caused him to black-ball Hayward. In 1832 Hayward had made it known that Roebuck had circulated an obscene publication entitled 'What Is Love' and had therefore damaged Roebuck's prospects in the Bath election. According to Hayward in a pamphlet he wrote it was simply gossip at the time and was never intended to harm Roebuck's chances at the election. The Benchers were criticised in 'The Times' and an appeal was heard. The outcome was that the judges decided the Benchers were legally right and morally wrong. They also stated that the selection process was outmoded. However after the case Hayward virtually withdrew from legal practice. Spine and corners a little rubbed. VG. hardcover
