Fookses and Pranks in Court Tales from Old New England
A river of anecdotes from the English and American courts recounts odd verdicts and comic mishaps. The piece recalls a North of England inquest labeled felo de se followed by a judge’s joking “Fiddle-dee-dee” remark, a Rockingham County dog case ending in a juror's confession, and a quiz of acquittals tied to juror conflicts. It also describes Sir Frank Lockwood’s wary warning to an acquitted defendant and a Western cattle dispute resolved after a juror miscasts guilt. The Vermont night shirt parade ends with jurors in the Belfry and the sheriff’s snoring wake-up call.
