Özet
 Bow Street Magistrates Court is justly famous as the birthplace of an efficient system of summary jurisdiction. Less well-known are some of the fascinating characters who have taken part in the court's dramas over the years. Most people know of the early pioneer stipendiary magistrates, Henry and John Fielding. But what of Nicholas Bond, the ambitious and devious Bow Street Runner, who (under John's patronage) became a clerk of the court, and later a Bow Street Magistrate? And what of the “noted highwayman Hawke” who had escaped prison in 1774, and now terrorised the wealthiest Londoners? Not to mention Mary Scroote, who brutally felled the man who refused her advances. At the turn of the nineteenth century, Bow Street took on a legally armed Britain. Tales from Bow Street is a gripping narrative of the history of London’s policing. Join Joan Lock as she delves into the criminal underworld of 18th century London, a city riddled with pick-pockets, prostitutes, highwaymen and murderers. From the hanging murders of the 1700s, through to Cold War espionage, and the birth of the 1950s policewoman, Lock’s book is rich in periodic detail, readable history and enlightening anecdotes.©1982 Joan Lock (P)2018 W.

I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting, informative and at times humorous. More of the same please.

Trip back in time

Some interesting information but the narration and poor editing made for difficult listening and so, unusually, after really trying to persevere, I gave up at chapter 19. I think that this is a book for reading rather than listening to. The long-winded, language of the age and the multitude of people in the book would be easier to follow if I was able to quickly look back and re-read sections.

Okay
