Opis: Darwin on Trial at the Old Bailey (Classic Reprint) - Democritus Democritus

Excerpt from Darwin on Trial at the Old Bailey

[The Prisoner, a haggard and worried-looking man of gentlemanly appearance, standing in the dock between two warders. Jurymen chattering in the box at the left, counsel and solicitors busying themselves with papers in the well of the court, which is crowded with lady and gentlemen spectators. The turmoil abates in consequence of a rap by the usher and the emerging from behind a heavy curtained door of the Lord Mayor and of the Recorder in their official robes.]

The Usher: Silence! His Lordship. - After a pause - Regina v. Gilbert.

The Clerk of Arraigns: Alexander Gilbert, you are indicted for being a person of a wicked and depraved mind and disposition, having unlawfully and wickedly devised, contrived, and intended, to vitiate and corrupt the morals of the liege subjects of our Lady the Queen, to debauch and poison the minds of divers of the liege subjects of our said Lady the Queen, and to raise and create in them disordered and lustful desires, and to bring the said liege subjects into a state of wickedness, lewdness, and debauchery, and for having on the 20th day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight, at a certain shop in Booksellers Lane in the county of London, and within the jurisdiction of this court, unlawfully, wickedly, maliciously, scandalously, and wilfully published, sold, and uttered a certain lewd, wicked, bawdy, scandalous, and obscene libel . . .

A Voice in Court: Splendid, beautiful! Grand indeed!

The Recorder of London: Silence! This interruption is quite scandalous; if anything of this sort is repeated, the court will be cleared.
