Synopsis

Fascinating and entertaining tales of cases and trials from the Birmingham Court of Requests, such as "The meek husband and the bouncing wife" and "The servant and his two masters," a witchcraft trial held before Sir Matthew Hale, 1664, taken down by an attendant at the proceedings, and six New England Salem witchcraft trials from 1692.
