In relating the cases heard in the Courts of the County Assize in
Gloucestershire nearly two centuries ago this book offers a variety
of examples of the sins and sinners of those days, together with a
fascinating insight into the consequences of those wrongdoings. The
punishments awarded varied considerably, from time spent in
Gloucester Gaol or a House of Correction, where hard labour or
floggings could be expected, to deportation or, the ultimate
penalty, hanging. The reports reproduced in this book come from the
Gloucester Journal, the local newspaper of the day. They introduce
the reader to all of the characters in each case: the eloquent
counsel, the equally eloquent judges, the many witnesses and the
condemned themselves.
