By Natasha Bailey This post is the first of a series looking at the LawBod’s pre-1800 collections (yes, we do have them!) and one of (hopefully) several on cases that have caught my eye from the proceedings of the Old Bailey. The original print copies of these proceedings from the early 1700s onward are in the LawBod’s Official Papers collection but thanks to the wonderful ‘The Proceedings of the Old Bailey’, you can now search over 190,000 trial records online.
