Victorian London's Police Court and Crazy Criminals (19th Century Crime and Punishment)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2022
- Police Courts were magnets for criminals from Victorian London's dark streets - known today as a magistrate's court, all the darker side of London life accumulated in legal cases as serious as burglary and highway robbery to an endless stream of lesser law-breaking - false cheques, difficult tenants, theft, drunkenness, quarrels and assault - the complaints and dilemmas of the working class that sought assistance and council from the 'poor man's lawyer,' before appearing to a magistrate for sentencing, himself weary of passing judgement on a never ending tale of human woe.
In a genuine account from 1878 you will discover the characters you could meet in a typical day at the capital's most famous court - Bow Street Police Court, London. Many famous people accused of crimes passed through Bow Street Police Court, often before being committed to central criminal court, including Dr Crippen, William Joyce, Oscar Wilde, as well as Emmeline and Chistabel Pankhurst. In this video, you will learn about the crimes of which some of the everyday people of London were accused and the sentences they received from the magistrate - all the while watched and jeered by a mob baying in the public gallery, betting on how long a prisoner would be 'sent down.'

My great great grandfather was a police Bobby with the Metropolitan Police force in London from 1858 till he retired in 1883. I have a copy of his retirement papers with his signature on it.
His son my great great uncle was a police Bobby from 1901 to his retirement in 1929.
Very cool.
Yes, it's great to have such historic documents! I wonder what stories he could have told.
@@FactFeast well my great great grandpa was born in 1829, and passed in 1916 at the age of 86, grew up near Coveney Cambridgeshire, in a farming community where he remained till 1858 and going to London to work as a Bobby, there he met my grgr grandma Clara who lived with her brother who worked as at the British Museum.
After retiring and having 6 kids moved back to Cambridgeshire. Pretty amazing he lived till 86 in that time.
Sadly his two sons, one passed at 27 in 1918 WWI as a POW in Brandenburg, Germany and my gr grandpa passed in 1918 at 32 due to Spanish flu in Canada.
Sad if one thinks about it.
Thanks for making this Sunday evening interesting !
Nice of you to say. Thank you!
@@FactFeast I’m actually fascinated by Victorian London so it’s a pleasure to watch your broadcasts !
Thank you for another intimate insight into Britain's social history. I do appreciate the narration of the original historical sources as being highly evocative of the era and social conditions. Did this account originate in the London Illustrated News?
The banner was just used for presentation. I'm sure I'll make more use of newspapers in future.
Happy Sunday All!🖐️😊 & Thanks F.F.❤️
I wish you the same ...and I thank you very much!

How are you doing sir thank you for cultural documentary channel we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well although victorian age is very painful memories especially for poor people low class but deserves research so that as always iam gathering main points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s police men in Victorian era were poorly paid they would patrol certain area known as their beat carried truncheons rattle to raise alarm . Many people didn’t trust new police , police officers were soon known as ( bobbies) or ( peelers)they wore uniform included dark blue long coat and tall hat they were unarmed except for truncheons. Key facts summary of police in Victorian age was replaced by organized by individuals from same communities. Shire which is composed of hundred ten men led by shire reeve where word sheriff came from sir Robert peer through metropolitan act of 1827 . Concept of organized police department as father of modern policing. First official police is considered to London metropolitan police established in 1829 . London police were often referred to as bobbies or peelers as away to honor sir Robert peeler .
I'm glad you found this video useful for your research about Victorian police officers. Thank you for taking the time to write. I appreciate your support.
When our beloved Queen Victoria heard about this she remarked "We are not amused!".
Steal me 🤣🤣 another great video
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed :)
had no idea Oscar Wilde was tried at bow street - and I wrote my dissertation on dorian gray, the lippincot text and his trial and subsequent sentencing
Would love to hear your take on the Wilde case, and/or the medico-legal criminalisation of sexuality of the nineteenth century
Thanks again for a great video
Hmmm…In New York you’re sent up, not sent down!
so basically it's exactly the same - witnesses don't show up, cops don't prepare, crooks walk free
*Question:* what Magistrates court (if any) was near Bethnal Green in the year 1904?
Kings Cross hasn't changed much over the years!
Interesting but up and down volume is a problem.
This was good except for the LOUD to quiet narration that had be scrambling for the volume button. For example at 10:45 it goes from whispering to SHOUTING!
Metropolitan Police 1829.
City of London Police 1839.
A revolving door of the pretty damn hard done by not necessarily their, fault as it in the beginning is now and ever shall be etc
The British judiciary do not use gavels.
Very interesting and so much kike reading Dickens. Quite enjoyable -- each video.
Thanks very much! I'm glad you find the history enjoyable.
The human condition has always been a bitch.
first! yay!!!
Super!
First!
Great!
Still the same one law for the rich another one for working class
OINK PIG OINK. OINK OINK PIG. OINK PIG OINK PIG OINK. Bring it PIGS. welcome to me.
Last and most important part of my research in colonial America slave patrols were organized to control slave population in south they are notorious for being violent brutal , at beginning of 19 th century growing population in urban cities increasing number of immigrants had led to various social disputes disturbances Americans look to England for structure development of their police and first organized police department in New York City police department in 18 45 , detective policing in America started in 1857 in New York City and 1861 in Chicago. Crimes was common place in Victorian age from pickpocketing to house breaking to violent affray calculated murder Vice was easily available prostitution and opium dens. Most common punishment in Victorian times hard labor sometimes tough physical work they were forced to turn crank heavy metal handball walk on treadmill hundreds times a day as punishment. Famous criminals in Victorian time Mary Ann cotton , Lydia Sherman , wild bill longley, jack ripper. In 1800s persons could be hanged for murder, asron , forgery, cutting down trees , stealing horse or sheep, destroying turnips roads , stealing from rabbits warren pickpocketing goods worth shilling but children under age can’t be arrested or charged with crimes it’s really hilarious crying any way thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones
