Thomas Love Peacock 1785-1866
Peacock was a man born both too soon and too late: too late for the truly Classical outlook, a little too soon for the truly Romantic. Satirist, wit, and poet, there is no one quite like him in English literature.

The rules of our system of criminal trial have traditionally been based on the belief that it is better that 10 guilty men should go free than that one innocent man should be convicted. Are these rules today, at a time of growing concern about crime and law and order, unduly favourable to the accused? A discussion by NEIL LAWSON.
