In a historical vein today, I wanted to tell you about a way to discover English criminal law through the ages. Fascinating.
The Old Bailey Proceedings Online makes available a fully searchable, digitised collection of all surviving editions of the proceedings of the Central Criminal Court in London, known as the Old Bailey, from 1674 to 1913, and of the Ordinary of Newgate’s Accounts (accounts of prisoners’ last speeches) between 1676 and 1772. It allows access to over 197,000 trials and biographical details of approximately 2,500 men and women executed at Tyburn, free of charge for non-commercial use.
