Lord Hale and the Bribery Fear in Assize Courts
A Scottish or English account recalls Lord Hale’s dread of bribery. It recounts a judge paid in venison to delay a trial, the dean and chapter of Salisbury gifting sugar loaves to judges, and a western circuit settlement. The piece ends with a grim Massachusetts note on a four and half year old girl harming a baby.
