Murder Trial at Maidstone Nabett for Parker Murder
The Maidstone assizes open with James Nesbett on trial for the murder of Thomas Parker and Parker’s housekeeper at Woolwich in March 1820. A crowd heard witnesses describe a fireside scene, burglary, arson, and blood soaked rooms as the case against Nesbett unfolded with detailed testimony from witnesses across London and Portsmouth. The jury found Nesbett guilty of murder after a lengthy, circumstantial case, and the judge sentenced him to be hanged and dissection.
