ANON CRAWFORD V. CRAWFORD (THE QUEEN'S PROCTOR INTERVENING) Plus NOTES ON CRAWFORD V. CRAWFORD
London/Gloucestershire F.W.J. Henning/J. Cooksey 1891 First Edition Thus Hardcover VG No Dj

Original paper wrapper of first title is bound-in, pages are lightly browned, small mark to last page but text legible. Sig. to e/p. The volume of Notes is very clean internally. Crawford v. Crawford was a sensational Victorian trial ranking with Tichborne and Parnell and was first heard in February 1886 before The Hon. Mr Justice Butt. The case against Sir Charles Dilke for adultery with Mrs. Crawford, Dilke did not give evidence having been advised that as he had already had an affair with Mrs Crawford's mother, this would not be a good strategy. During his judgement Butt stated that he could not see a case against Sir Charles Dilke and that although Mrs Crawford had been guilty of adultery with Dilke, there was no admissable evidence that he had been guilty of adultery with her! Due to the efforts of investigative journalist, William Thomas Stead, a public campaign against Dilke was launched. Using the legal device of the Queen's Proctor being brought into the case, a second hearing took place, Dilke proved an unconvincing witness and the jury found that Mrs Crawford had presented the true version of the facts. Dilke was ruined, his political career was over and he spent the remainder of his life trying to exonerate himself. An annotated reprint of all the evidence given. Both volumes are in exceptionally fine matching bindings.
