Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Like new and appears unread but has an ownership sticker to the first page. In 1861, five months after gold was discovered at Gabriel's Gully, Henry Beresford Garrett gained notoriety when his gang robbed 15 gold miners on the trail back to Dunedin. Garrett spent the rest of his long…life in New Zealand jails. He taught himself to read and write and wrote secret accounts of his convict experiences on Norfolk Island and in Australia and portraits of his fellow prisoners and historical figures such as Mary, Queen of Scots, and Judas, whom he defended as the only loyal disciple obeying Christ's command to betray Him. This recreation of Garrett's life from his brutal childhood and graduation to surviving the vicious commandant fictionalised in Marcus Clarke's 'For the Term of His Natural Life', includes Garrett's insights into the punitive Victorian penal system. He rated Dunedin jail as bad as any he had experienced.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 299 pages. Cover slightly worn, Text lightly tanned.Was Roy Stacey as good a lawyer as Hanlon before him and Bungay after? He was , and was more amusing and unconventional. From the late 1940s to the 1980s he w as the capital lawyer to go to, including those charged with murder when hanging was the ulti…mate penalty, such as the Sikh who shot three times an unarmed man and a woman who beat her nagging grandmother to death with a breadboard. He defe nded the downtrodden and the different: displaced immigrants at the war's end, w ar-weary sailors jumping ship, slygroggers, bookmakers, brothel keepers like Ma Hallam, backstreet abortionist Flo Radcliffe, truckers fighting rail monopoly, m ost famously transsexual Carmen from the champing jaws of Robert Muldoon and the powerful Parliamentary Privileges Committee when she alleged one MP in four was homosexual. The casebook of Roy Stacey is a social history of New Zealand emerg ing from a punitive and uptight era, prodded continuously by a liberal lawyer wh o liked a drink at any hour with a wide circle of friends from all levels of soc iety and thought the law should let him. Roy was the closest we have come to a r eal-life Rumpole of the Bailey, a colourful character in and out of court who ca red and shared long before it was PC.
