Famous trials reconstructed with postscripts by Lord Birkett.

Eighteen-year-old Elizabeth Canning disappeared while walking to her employer's house near Moorgate on New Year's Night 1753. Some weeks later she returned home badly injured and in rags: she said that she had been kidnapped and robbed of her own clothes. A gypsy woman was sentenced to death for the robbery; a second woman was convicted as an accessory and suffered public branding. Largely because of the efforts of the Lord Mayor of London the death sentence was rescinded, and some months later Elizabeth Canning herself stood trial at the Old Bailey on a charge of wilful perjury.
