The Murder of Edward Lutterell : Trial of Hugh Reason and Robert Tranter, 1722.
London: Cobbett's State Trials, 1812. Booklet - Unbound Pages. Very Good Condition. Item #518778
Hugh Reason and Robert Tranter tried for the killing of Edward Lutterell in a violent encounter. 27 pages, printed in double columns. Printed between 1809 and 1826, these historic documents are vivid extracts from Cobbett's State Trials; pages from the courtroom record that preserve the voices, arguments, and verdicts which helped shape the course of British justice and still echo through its constitutional legacy. Over two centuries old, each leaf is a tangible fragment of legal history, compelling, original, and rarely encountered outside institutional collections. These are not reprints or replicas, but authentic 19th-century printings that are rich in drama, and steeped in history. This particular trial report has been removed from a volume of Cobbett's State Trials and is now preserved in a modern card cover for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 15 x 25 cms. Category: State Trials; State Trials::Octavo;.
