[Insert your name here] at the Old Bailey
As a follow-up to the previous post, this is the trial transcript of a female pickpocket, sentenced to hang after her day in court at the Old Bailey.
The records from the famous English court -- best known to Americans via Leo McKern's indelible protrayal of the English barrister Rumpole, are fully searchable, giving the reader a front-row seat at countless trials.
I can almost hear John Mortimer's fictional barrister, grumbling about "She who must be obeyed."
Very, very cool.
