Transcript of 18th century court cases

I got this link from the Smithsonian Museum of History newsletter. It's a listing of court records from "the Old Bailey", the famous British "hanging court".

The home page of the database is here: www.oldbaileyonline.org

For a detailed trial of a case of piracy in 1737, click here.

Pretty cool stuff to read!
