Excerpt from Mr. Punch in Wig and Gown: The Lighter Side of Bench and Bar, With 120 IllustrationsHere and there you come across echoes of famous law suits - of the Tichborne trial, the Parnell Com mission, here and there you have reminders Of Bradlaugh's fight to get into Parliament without taking the oath, of the days when London was agitated by the Fenian scare and valorous house holders were sworn in as special constables, and again when everybody passing into the law courts had to open his bag that the policeman on duty might be assured that he was not carrying a bomb inside it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
