EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir John Fielding: The Blind Magistrate of Bow Street, London (1780) This evocative image captures Sir John Fielding, the renowned magistrate of Bow Street in London during the late 18th century. Known for his exceptional dedication and commitment to law enforcement, Fielding is remembered as a pioneering figure in the history of criminal justice. Born in 1721, Fielding was a man of remarkable determination. He lost his sight at a young age due to smallpox, but this did not deter him from pursuing a career in law. With the help of his brother Henry, who wrote many of his decisions, Fielding became a magistrate in 1753, and in 1754, he was appointed as the chief magistrate of Bow Street. Fielding's tenure at Bow Street saw the establishment of the Bow Street Runners, the first organized police force in London. He also played a significant role in the development of the criminal justice system, introducing measures such as the use of warrants, the appointment of constables, and the establishment of a centralized police force. Despite his blindness, Fielding's keen senses and remarkable memory enabled him to effectively manage his courtroom. He was known for his ability to identify criminals by their voices and mannerisms, and his extensive knowledge of London's criminal underworld. This photograph, taken in 1780, captures Fielding in his later years. He is depicted sitting at his desk, surrounded by papers and legal documents, with a determined expression on his face. The image serves as a testament to his unwavering commitment to justice and his remarkable ability to overcome adversity. Sir John Fielding's legacy continues to inspire and influence the criminal justice system to this day. His innovative approaches to law enforcement and his unwavering dedication to justice have left a lasting impact on the history of criminal justice in London and beyond.
