The book ' deals with tho trials in a popular j fush Ion, making them of even greater Interest to the layman than to tho lawyer or student. The cases re vie weil are principally those which ramo hefuru the juries of the Old Italley court of London. Tho Old Italley court room was tho scene of many a tragic ending to promising careers. Many a man was sent to the gallows for crimes which enuld bo laughed out of court In this enlightened gon eratiou.

The Old Hitiley court was re cently torn down and many of the dusty and old records were brought to light, forming a basis for the book.
