The background to the present correspondence is dealt with exhaustively in C. J. W. Allen's 'The Law of Evidence in Victorian England' (1997) and David Bentley's 'English Criminal Justice in the 19th Century' (1998), chapters 17 ('The Campaign for a Prisoners' Evidence Act') and 18 ('Reform'). ONE: Autograph Letter Signed from Poland ('Harry Bodkin-Poland') to Harington ('His Honour Judge Sir Richard Harington Bart.'). 4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. He begins by informing Harington that he has sent a letter to The Times, but that he fears it is 'too long for this busy time with the newspapers'. He asks him his opinion of 'the calm & sober judgment of Stephen', i.e. Sir Herbert Stephen (1857-1932). The letter continues: 'The Bill will not be in Committee for a week or ten days, so you have plenty of time to consider your letter to the A. G. | When notice of all the Amendments has been given the Lord Chancellor will no doubt I should think consult the Cabinet as to which, if any, of them the Government will accept. The L. C. Lord Cross, Lord James, Sir Matthew Ridley, Lord Salisbury, & others in Cabinet with actual experience, & the A. G. & S[olicitor]. G[eneral]. & men like Sir Edmund Clarke & others out of the Cabinet, ought to make a good working Bill.' He concludes by stating his point of view: 'The more I think of the subject, the more I am convinced that no safeguards can be of any use, & that everything must be left as at present to the good sense & judgment of the Court & Counsel.' TWO: Two Autograph documents by Poland, headed by him 'Rider A' and 'Rider B', giving his legal opinion for insertion in Item Three below. The first (2pp., 8vo) is in poor condition, aged and frayed. It begins: 'Poland thinks the instructing Solicitors or Counsel or both on behalf of prisioners is absolutely impracticable. See the Calendars of the C[entral]. C[riminal]. C[ourt]. the London Sessions & of large towns.' The second (1p., 12mo) is in fair condition, lightly aged. It begins: 'Poland thinks that care must be taken that prisoners should not be able to say that the Prosecutor & his witnesses have sworn so & so &c, & the Prisoner and his wife only stated so & so. The affirmation must be like the affirmation of people who object to be sworn.' THREE: Autograph Draft of Letter from Harington to the Attorney General (Sir Richard Webster). 9pp., 12mo. With emendations by both Harington and Poland, including directions by the latter for the insertion of the two riders (Item Two above). Begins: 'I have had a long talk with Poland over the prisoner's evidence bill, on the assumption that its principle is taken to be established & is not open to argument. We agree very decidedly that its operation should extend equally to every class of criminal case whether triable on indictment at a General Session of Oyer & Terminer or Quarter Sessions or at Police Courts & Petty Sessions'. Harington proceeds to argue his position forcefully and in great detail. At one point Poland writes: 'Poland cannot go so far as this & the danger of injustice already exists from incompetent judges Chairmen of Q. S. & Recorders & magistrates'. From the papers of Sir Richard Harington (1835-1911) of Ridlington, 11th Baronet.

Minor dampstaining but good to very good. From the library of Alfred Swaine Taylor, founder of forensic toxicology, an archive relating to the notorious and sensational Charles Bravo poisoning, a case that is still unsolved. The Bravo mystery has inspired several works of fiction, including Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle (1962) and a three-part BBC serial titled The Poisoning of Charles Bravo (1975). Bravo (1845-76), a 33-year-old barrister, died of tartar emetic (antimony) poisoning on 21 April 1876, less than five months after his marriage to a wealthy widow; the marriage was reportedly an unhappy one. The inquest on Bravo's death, held on 25 and 28 April, returned an open verdict, but the circumstances of the case were so suspicious that Taylor offered his expert advice to Harry Bodkin Poland, one of the attorneys for the Crown. Our archive includes the letter Poland sent thanking Taylor for "your letter about the Bravo Case and for the offer of further advice and assistance," and informing Taylor that he "will show your letter to Mr. [Augustus K.] Stephenson the Solicitor to the Treasury." Stephenson is represented in the archive by three letters asking for Taylor's expert opinion on the case: "You have read the account of the Post-mortem encl. by Dr. Payne . . . That being so, does it enable you to form an opinion as to whether the antimony was taken in solid food . . . (letter of 3 June). "Assuming small traces of antimony to have been found in the liver of a deceased person-Can you form any opinion as to length of time before death that the antimony was taken?" (letter of 5 June). "Can you tell me whether antimony in the form of tartar emetic wd. if taken in small doses at intervals during pregnancy induce a miscarriage? (letter of 22 July). The last item in our archive is a galley proof, corrected in Taylor's hand, of the first two-thirds of an article on the Bravo case published on 20 May in the British Medical Journal; although the article is unsigned, it was most likely written by Taylor. Based on the medical evidence, Taylor concluded that Bravo had ingested the fatal dose of antimony during his last meal. He severely criticized the investigators in the case for not testing the remains of the bottle of wine he had drunk with the meal-"the only article of food not shared in common with the three who sat at the dinner-table . . . If tartar emetic had been found in this wine much of the present mystery hanging about the case would be removed . . . In tracing the further history of this bottle, we learn that no one now knows what became of it or its contents." .
