Bailey Courts Evidence High Way Highway Man Justice L Aw Outlaw Robbery Rogue Trial Tyburn Witness Manacled
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century print captures the tense atmosphere of a trial at the Old Bailey, London's central criminal court. In the foreground, a manacled highwayman, his head bowed in despair, stands next to a witness unfolding damning evidence against him. The window behind them reveals the scene of the robbery, a stagecoach being held up by a masked outlaw and his accomplices. The other window offers a prophetic glimpse of the villain's end, with Tyburn Tree, the infamous gallows where highwaymen and other criminals were hanged, looming in the distance. The trial at the Old Bailey was a crucial moment in the administration of justice during the 19th century, a time when the roads were dangerous and the threat of highway robbery was a constant concern for travelers. The image serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of the law and the consequences of a life of crime.
