Democritus Darwin on Trial at the Old Bailey

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Sir richard bully: Very well. Before I proceed to explain the nature of the charge I may mention that at the prisoner's place of business a large portfolio containing indecent photographs has been found. Mr. Macintosh wood: I object to this statement, which is brought forward only to prejudice my client's case. These photo graphs do not form part of the indictment; but besides they are reproductions of masterpieces of art. The recorder: I suppose that counsel for the prosecution will produce the photographs only to show the kind of literature in which the prisoner dealt at his shop.
