A report of proceedings of nineteen felony trials in the Old Bailey.

Among the assault and murder cases was that of Elizabeth Wigenton, a coat maker who whipped a servant girl to death and was convicted of wilful murder. Others concerned bigamy and recusancy. The trial of John Bully, "Popish priest," was apparently one of several; Bully pled that he had already been tried (for an unmentioned offense related to his Catholicism) and managed to put off his new trial.

2 vols. 8vo. 6 5/8 x 3 7/8 inches. [1-2] [i-iii] iv-x [xi-xiv] [1] 2-336; [i-viii] [1] 2-358 pp. Contemporary full calf neatly rebacked, spines with raised bands forming six compartments, red and black morocco lettering pieces in the second and fourth compartments A significant work for historians, criminologists, and collectors of legal history, a document of legal and social history, reflecting contemporary public's fascination with the macabre and the criminal underworld. This collection features accounts of murders, thwarted insurrections, daring robberies and the trial of a midwife accused of negligence. Female criminals feature prominently, with detailed accounts of infamous figures such as Mary Blandy and Elizabeth Jeffries, both tried and executed in 1752 for murder. The inclusion of these women's cases underscores the broad scope of the compilation, which does not shy away from exploring crimes committed by women, a reflection of contemporary fascination with female offenders. Beyond its recounting of heinous acts, the work offers a window into the justice system, societal norms, and the public's appetite for tales of scandal and punishment in 18th-century Britain. A significant resource for scholars of legal history, social customs, and gender studies, the present work serves as both a historical record and a testament to the enduring intrigue surrounding crime and its consequences.

The trials deal with matters such as theft, assault, forgery and murder; the high number of capital cases and punishments reflects the punitive nature of British justice in the eighteenth century. Other convicts were sentenced to imprisonment, whipping and "navigation," which in practice meant hard labor or imprisonment during the suspension of transportation from 1776-1787 after the American Revolution. Complete volumes such as ours are scarce. OCLC locates 4 in North America for the years 1779-1780, 2 in law libraries (Yale, Library of Congress, which has an imperfect copy).

First Edition. London, 1734-1735. Two vols. Complete set. Old Bailey Sessions: Crime, Print, and the Public Imagination in Early Georgian London [Trials]. [Great Britain]. Select Trials for Murders, Robberies, Rapes, Sodomy, Coining, Frauds, And Other Offences: At the Sessions-House in the Old-Bailey. To Which are Added, Genuine Accounts of the Lives, Exploits, Behaviour, Confessions and Dying-Speeches of the Most Eminent Convicts. London: Printed for J. Wilford, 1734-1735. 2 volumes. Complete set. Octavo (7-3/4" x 4-3/4"; 198 x 122 mm), [iv], 479, [9]; [viii], 500 pp. Text in double columns. Contemporary calf, recently and sympathetically rebacked, spines with black morocco labels lettered in gilt. Some light rubbing to boards and wear to corners. Occasional spotting and toning as usual. A very good, sound, and attractive set. $1,250. * First edition. A scarce early Old Bailey compilation, produced for a widening readership eager for accounts of crime, punishment, and notoriety. Though grounded in proceedings of London's central criminal court, these volumes expand the scope of reportage through appended lives, confessions, and "dying speeches," recasting trial records as structured narratives of transgression and retribution. Issued at the height of the so-called "Bloody Code," the collection traces offences-from highway robbery and coining to murder-through conviction to execution, often at Tyburn, and reveals the reciprocal dynamic between court, scaffold, and print. In contrast to the more strictly documentary Proceedings of the Old Bailey, the present work is editorially shaped for narrative continuity and moral exemplarity, aligning it with the emergent market for criminal biography and popular print. A primary source of enduring importance for the study of eighteenth-century English criminal justice and print culture. English Short-Title Catalogue T82604. London, 1734-1735. Two vols.

Although these titles were issued by different publishers they have a uniform format and were later re-published as a five-volume work in 1764. English Short-Title Catalogue T82548.
