Justice at Gloucester Street Case With Deaf and Dumb Prisoner
An 1840s Gloucester court session relates a hearing where Edward Bridgewater, a deaf and dumb man, was charged with pocketing 37s from Richard Holford after being invited to drink. The jury debated his ability to plead and understand the trial, ultimately ruling he was not of sane mind and ordering custody pending the sovereign's pleasure.
