Original Judge’s trial notebook – Crown Circuit Vol 15 and Vol 16 – Mr Justice Darling

Volume 15, front board detached, rear missing, all pages probably present, a couple detached.

Volume 16, front cover detached but otherwise holding together.

Read real life reports from the Judge’s bench of cases before him and notes of his summings up.

The writing is pretty awful but this is a highly unusual insight into  cases from the Judge’s bench.

As far as is known these are nearly unique in being publicly available.
