LIST OF TRIALS. (Part II) This list is a follow up to the first release of execute.txt, listing executions carried out in England from 1606 to 1895 but may not be comprehensive. All the information contained here is extracted from the publication `HAYDN`S DICTIONARY OF DATES`, 21st Edition, to the Autumn of 1895. Published by WARD, LOCK, AND BOWDEN LIMITED 1895. As the list of trials is quite large, I have decided to split the topic into smaller, more compact files to make it easier to download. All files will have the title 'List of Trials. (Part *) * = part number. E-Mail address: paul@yeoldesussexpages.co.uk The capital letters (MI) in the comments section mean that other information is available should it be required. E-mail / snail mail me. Regulations for conducting trials were made by LOTHAIRE and EDRIC, kings of Kent, about 673 to 680. ALFRED the GREAT is said to have begun trial by jury; but there is good evidence of such trials before his time. Arrangements were made for much more speedy trials by "the Winter Assizes Act," 1876. This is a list of the more remarkable trials conducted at the dates mentioned and as with the list of executions, will not be comprehensive. Some of the names in this text file will also be found in the list of executions where sentance of death was given. NOTE: In order to be able to supply this text file as 'searchable text', I have to scan a copy of the page and resize; OCR the file and then make whatever corrections are required as I lay the text in a readable format. The condition of the publication also makes it harder to get an excellent scan. As you can imagine, doing all this takes a lot of time and I have much else to occupy my time, so updates on this may well be periodic.
