The Tichborne Trial:

£100 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Refusing to accept the loss of her son, Sir Roger Charles Doughty Tichborne, Lady Tichborne made enquiries across the globe for his whereabouts. In 1865 she received a letter from a Sydney solicitor advising that her long lost son was acutally working as a butcher in Wagga Wagga. The Tichborne claimant is one of the most famous and audacious of all criminal cases; this work provides a history of the case as well as the judge’s verdict.
