Disbound. 52pp. Thornton was found not guilty of raping and murdering Mary Ashford. Ashford's brother William launched an appeal against the verdict and Thornton was rearrested. Thornton claimed the right to 'Trial by Battle' - dating from the time of Norman rule - which Ashford refused, and Thornton was released. The right to t…rial by battle was repealed in 1819.

FIRST EDITION. (44)pp. Contemp. half calf. Booklabels of Warwick Castle and Warwick Castle Local Library. v.g. The preface, signed 'S.N.E.', refers to a pamphlet called a 'Melo Drama' in which 'many details are narrated and scenes disclosed, as unfit for the public eye, as they are ill-calculated for dramatic representation; and… still more improper for the inspection of the fair sex, or of the rising generation.'. This drama, the action transported to Normandy, is clearly based on the alleged murder of Mary Ashford by Abraham Thornton, depicted here as 'Marie' and 'Thornville'. The author clearly believes in Thornton's guilt and the villain here shoots himself in the head at the end of the play.

Horrible Rape and Murder!! The Affecting Case of Mary Ashford, A Beautiful Young Virgin, Who was Diabolically Ravished, Murdered, And Thrown Into a Pit, As She Was Return…ing From a Dance; Including the Trial of Abraham Thornton, For the Wilful Murder of the Said Mary Ashford; With the Whole of the Evidence, Charge to the Jury, &c. Tried at Warwick Assizes, Before Mr. Justice Holroyd, On the 8th of August, 1817. Taken in Short Hand. To Which is Added Copious Elucidations of this Extraordinary Case; And a Correct Plan of the Spot Where the Rape and Murder were Committed, &c. &c. London: Published by John Fairburn, 1817. [ii], 60 columns (34 pp), 64, [1] pp. Several newspaper clippings concerning this case pasted to final leaf, rear wrapper and verso of title page. Woodcut folding map of crime scene. Octavo (8-3/4" x 5-1/2"). Stab-stitched pamphlet in printed wrappers, untrimmed edges. Some soiling and edgewear, spine and fold-lines of table reinforced, fore-edge mended, some toning to text. Early owner inscriptions to front wrapper ("Bright" and "St John Crookes") and verso of map ("St John Crookes/ Sunderland/ 1856"). $950. * "Third Edition." 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. One of the former owners of our copy may have been John Bright [1811-1889], a r. Appeals of murder were abolished after this case (illustrator).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Erstwhile salvage pilot Volya Frye certainly has a reason for his anger. His meager existence hadn't been much, but even that had been stripped from him. Members of the Planetary Union government, in concert with a corporate tycoon, had tried to frame him for piracy in order to get their han…ds on the Marco Polo, a vessel that would revolutionize both energy production and interstellar travel. Frye, however, had foiled the plot and returned the Marco Polo to its rightful owners. Along the way, he met Alainn Marwol, a woman as smart and deadly as she was beautiful, and discovered a life-changing truth: in order to be free, he has to take control of his future. Right now, that means it is time to exact justice on those responsible for attempting to ruin his life. It is time for retribution. But will justice be served, or will Frye succumb to the temptation for petty revenge? And what will happen when he learns that "In a tyrannical government, the real crime isn't a single massive conspiracy, but a thousand minor ones?" This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At the edge of the Planetary Union, Volya Frye, a desperate salvage operator in need of some good news, makes a curious discovery: a derelict vessel with no indication of origin and signs of foul play. What's more, the ship itself shouldn't exist, at least according to what Frye knows about…interstellar travel. Before they can unravel the mystery of the ship, however, Frye and his crew find themselves caught up in a conspiracy that involves some of the most powerful people in the galaxy, and threatens to take what little Frye has left - including his life. Set in a time long after mankind has settled the galaxy, Zero Point weaves a tale of technology, intrigue, and conspiracy, while touching on the timeless themes of greed, corruption, and abuse of power, coupled with a search for freedom and justice.

Observations Upon the Case of Abraham Thornton, Who was Tried at Warwick, August 8, 1817, For the Murder of Mary Ashford: Shewing the Danger of Pressing Presumptive Evidence Too Far, Together with the Only True and Authentic Account…Yet Published of the Evidence Given at the Trial, The Examination of the Prisoner, &c., And a Correct Plan of the Locus in Quo. London: Printed for J. Mawman, T. Miller, 1819. 88 pp. Folding map. Portrait frontispiece, misbound before preface. Octavo (7-3/4" x 4-3/4"). Disbound stab-stitched pamphlet, untrimmed edges. Moderate toning, light soiling to exterior, dampspotting to map, small library stamps to title page and frontispiece. $500. * Third and final edition, one of three printed in 1819. Abraham Thornton, a bricklayer, "was accused of rape and murder after attending a dance where he became intimate with a gardener's daughter named Mary Ashford. They left the dance together and her body was found the next morning in a deep pool of water near a local footpath. Thornton was tried at the Warwick assizes on 8 August 1817. Since the marks on Mary's body were not necessarily inconsistent with Thornton's claim that she had consented to sexual intercourse, and since the times on the morning in question when Thornton was seen walking home to Bromwich suggested he could not have been with her when she met her death, the jury found him not guilty. The case aroused much interest and reminded people of a similar murder of a local woman a year earlier. Many were convinced of Thornton's guilt and he was assailed in local and London newspapers. A group collected around the Birmingham solicitor William Bedford invoked the old legal process of 'appeal of murder,' by which a person acquitted of murder could be tried again for the same offense. This process was generally regarded as obsolete, though there had been several instances in the eighteenth century. More controversy arose when Thornton came before the court of King's Bench in November 1817 and demanded ordeal by battle, which was open to the subject of an appeal of murder but had not been claimed since Charles I's reign. After several hearings between November 1817 and April 1818 the court decided that the appellee did have this right. The appe.

Appeal of Murder: The Decision of the Judges in the Case of Ashford, ver. Thornton, Court of King's Bench, April 20th, 1818. Nottingham: Shorrock, and Son, (Successors to E.

Moderate toning, light soiling to edges, a few faint creases, printer's flaw and clean tear to right column, no loss to legibility. Rare. $3,000. * Ashford v. Thornton dealt with the aftermath of the murder of Mary Ashford in 1817. Abraham Thornton, who had seen and been intimate with Ashford the previous night, was tried for rape and murder but acquitted of both charges due to a lack of evidence and inconsistencies in the prosecutor's case. 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. After extensive proceedings in the Court of King's Bench, the court found that he was eligible to do so. Our broadside documents the final hearing, in which Ashford declined to battle with Thornton and withdrew his appeal. Thornton was given a pro forma arraignment and released. The case resulted in the abolition of appeals by murder and thus the end of trial by battle. This broadside is rare and appears to be unrecorded. No copies located on OCLC or Library Hub. Not at Harvard or the British Library.
