Abraham Thornton a bricklayer was accused of the rape and murder of Mary Ashford when she was found dead the morning after a dance where the two had been seen together. Thornton admitted that the two had been consensually intimate but denied the charges of rape and murder. Eyewitness accounts backed up his story and in the absence of other evidence he was acquitted of both charges. Public outcry around his acquittal led to Mary's brother William invoking an "appeal of murder." This uncommon legal practice allowed a retrial of a defendant acquitted for murder but crucially gave the defendant the right to trial by battle. Thornton invoked that right and was released after William Ashford declined the challenge. The case resulted in the abolition of appeals by murder and thus the end of trial by battle. Despite his protestations of innocence the public was thoroughly convinced of his guilt. Unable to lead a normal life Thornton moved to the United States and settled in Baltimore Maryland.

95800Very Good. Single leaf folded to form four pages with list of 83 names on first two pages. Three later horizontal folds probably for filing. Has some pencil markings beside most names -- either a red "x" or an black line. Ink note at top of one of the narrow folded section on last page:Jury of 80 Men for trial of Jorden on Tuesday 28th Inst. Waterstain -- name still quite readable -- a bit wavy but covers about the right third of both leaves as folded. No information as to date or location. Looks like it probably dates sometime in first two-thirds of 19th century. Someone might be able to narrow it down -- most juror names seem common but Plesant W. Ponder probably is not. Later pencil note in unknown hand on last page: possibly Lawrence County Alabama. unknown

A "Fairburn's Edition" which provides the "whole proceedings" of the trials.

The men organized two mass meetings at Spa Fields to protest and petition the Prince Regent. While the first meeting was largely peaceful the second on December 2 1816 devolved into a riot. unknown

22164'C. B. Fields i.e. Cold Bath Fields Prison London October 14th 1824'. See Fauntleroy's entry in the Oxford DNB. Although accounts of his depravity are exaggerated Fauntleroy led a dissolute life and appropriated securities worth around £360000. During his trial at the Old Bailey he called seventeen merchants and bankers to testify to his integrity but his defence was unsuccessful and he was hanged outside Newgate before a crowd of 100000. The present item is 1p 4to. Bifolium addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'Sir Cuthbert Sharp &c &c' with endorsement. In fair condition lightly aged and worn with slight damage to inner edge of second leaf caused by removal from mount. With several folds. Written in a clear hand with a good bold signature. Reads: 'My Dear Sir Cuthbert I have heard from you with every attention what you have proposed from the Assignees to me – I will give it every consideration & shall hope in a few days to communicate with you upon the subject I remain Most faithfully Yrs H Fauntleroy'. Sharp was presumably an assignee of an estate which had suffered as a result of Fauntleroy's forgeries. 'C. B. Fields [i.e. Cold Bath Fields Prison, London] October 14th 1824'. unknown
