1824BB056Murder Trial Account of the Murder of the late Mr William Weare . the coroner's inquest the trials of the prisoners and the execution. By George Henry Jones. London 1824. With 3 landscapes 2 folding plates finely lithographed by C J Hullmandel. 8vo iv344pp; half-leather marbled boards spine label "Thurtell's Trial" lightly scuffed very solid and clean throughout. First edition. William Weare was a solicitor of Lyon's Inn and a gambler. His killer was John Thurtell 1794–1824 a sports promoter amateur boxer a former Royal Marine officer and a son of the Mayor of Norwich. Thurtell owed Weare a gambling debt of £300 an immense sum at the time equivalent to £24500 in 20151. Thurtell believed Weare had cheated him of the money. Whatever the truth when Weare demanded payment Thurtell murdered him rather than pay up. He invited Weare to join him and his friends – Joseph Hunt a tavern landlord and William Probert a former convict and alcohol merchant – for a weekend of gambling at Probert's cottage at the site of Oaks Close off Gills Hill Lane subsequently popularly known as Murder Lane23 Radlett. On 24 October 1823 they journeyed from London in Thurtell's horse-drawn gig but Weare was killed in a dark lane just short of their destination. The gruesome and callous events created such public sensation that it attracted numerous ballads and theatre shows at the time along with comment by the essayist Babington Macaulay and the crime used variously in the work of Sir Walter Scott William Hazllitt and Robert Louis Stevenson. After the trial one of the accused was hanged and another Joseph Hunt was transported to Botany Bay Australia. Charles Joseph Hullmandel 1789–1850 studied art and printmaking and is considered amongst the most important figures in the development of British lithography. He developed a method for reproducing gradations in tones and for creating the effect of soft color washes which enabled the reproduction of Romantic landscape paintings of the type made popular by J. M. W. Turner. Hullmandel's essay The Art of Drawing on Stone 1824 was an important handbook of lithography issued the same year as this account of the trial.

1693D12884Printed by Edward Jones. and Published by him and Randal Taylor 1693. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Modern half calf and marbled paper gilt-stamped lettering on spine; 300x187mm; pp. 4 64. Binding is fine. Text block browned as expected; tiny chips at corners of first two leaves. In December 1692 the young but already dissolute Cornish peer Charles 4th Lord Mohun was involved in a fracas arising from a botched attempt to kidnap the popular actress Anne Bracegirdle. Mohun was acting as accomplice to a young army officer Captain Hill who had taken a fancy to Bracegirdle and decided not to take no for an answer. Their plan to bundle her into a coach was thwarted by the intervention of several of Bracegirdles neighbours but principally by her fellow actor William Mountford. In the ensuing scuffle Mountford was stabbed; he died shortly after. His trial was one of the society events of the year as Mohun had already been part of numerous duels and brawls and tho he was not yet a member of the House his father had been a good Whig and the young Lords future vote was not something that either party were keen to squander. His acquittal proved as sensational as the trial itself had been. One newsletter commented bitterly that a commoner would not have been so fortunate; others debated the intricacies of an attempted appeal that it was thought Mountfords widow intended to lodge but which was expected to be stifled by the Lords. Perhaps most intriguing of all was the conclusion drawn by Queen Mary herself that the verdict was symptomatic of a rot at the very heart of society. Mohun did not learn his lesson. He continued to brawl and only a few years later he was again arrested for another murder of an apparently unrelated Captain Hill. On this occasion he was spared a trial though and took advantage of a royal pardon. Over the next few years he repaid his Whig colleagues trust in him by proving a dependable lieutenant in the House. He may well have been fulfilling precisely the same role when he took the field against the Tory Duke of Hamilton with fatal consequences for both.
