Trial of Robert Emond for the Murder of Catherine Munro or Franks, Widow, and Her Daughter, Madelina Franks, Before the High Court of Justiciary, on Monday, 8th February, 1830

1830. Original wraps. Very Good +. The complete, of-the-period transcript, and a detailed documenting of this February 1830 trial of Robert Emond for double-murder. He was convicted and --on the last page of text, no less-- was sentenced to die by hanging a month later, on March 17th. And his body "to be aftrerwards publicly dissected". (Clearly, justice was swift and exacting in early 19th century England). The transcript, in its later --though still early-- brown wrappers, consists of 32 pgs. of text, which has held up well. Octavo, crisp and bright, and easily VG to VG+, with very minor, occasional spotting. An uncommon case study of 1830 British criminal law and justice.
