Court hears trial of Jane Gibbs for alleged harassment near Bow Street

The trial recounts Jane Gibbs's alleged methods in street encounters with men, including claims of robbery and coercion. Witnesses from the Navy Office and St Bartholomew's Hospital describe her behavior as violent and persistent. Gibbs is described as tall, thin, with a coarse face and missing front teeth, and the court guards her from an enraged crowd as she is acquitted.
