0:00:02 > 0:00:04Your son does not belong to you. Nothing belongs to you.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Samuel is not here, Sarah.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Issue the writ!
0:00:07 > 0:00:12Success is unlikely, the cost astronomical and you do not possess the means.
0:00:12 > 0:00:18We command you that you bring before us in the Court of Chancery, the body of Samuel Hill.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I took the jewels I used to wear.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Under the law, they do not belong to you!
0:00:22 > 0:00:25He has stolen my son!
0:00:25 > 0:00:28My absolute right as a father is to be questioned.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Avenge it.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- Bambridge, open up! - Open up, Bambridge!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03No, wait!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25You say that she took you by the hair of your head,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28threw herself on the bed, pulled you to her
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and in her passion scratched you until the blood came.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36You said were up on a mounting-block and your britches dropped,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39but were interrupted before you could access the cow.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41LAUGHTER
0:02:41 > 0:02:45For now you would have us believe you were not there.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48You never saw the purse, then you say you saw it drop.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Mr Garrow, less cake, more law.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54And in doing so he robbed you. You lost it then.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59- Is there a purpose?- He was after your purse. I say you're lying.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Mr Garrow!
0:03:19 > 0:03:23It is a mistake, I did not do it.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26The biggest misfortune is that you are my nephew
0:03:26 > 0:03:29and I must pay your debt.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Sir!
0:03:32 > 0:03:35You are released, there is an end to it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- And I am free to do what, Uncle John? - You have not the means?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I will take the money
0:03:42 > 0:03:46but I could profit so much more were you to let me be alongside you.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I have not the work for you.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52And have not the stomach for me to want to know me?
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- You are a nephew to me, I cannot venture more. - Am I still to call you uncle then?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00You are my brother's son. What else should you call me?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09You say that there were three candlesticks on the counter
0:04:09 > 0:04:11and when you looked, they were taken.
0:04:11 > 0:04:17Take him hence to the place whence you camest and thence to the place of execution
0:04:17 > 0:04:21where you will be hanged by the neck until you are dead.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26And not having the fear of God, but moved by the instigations of the devil,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29did on the 15th May last...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Do you defend this also, Mr Garrow?
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Yes, my Lord!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34You pull like a dray horse.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Lady Sarah.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02HE COUGHS
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Lady Sarah!
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I have no wish to see more of you. Go away!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16What is this?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18He has issued me with a writ!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Sir Arthur?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Being in need of funds, I brought away my jewellery.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Ah, but it is not...
0:05:27 > 0:05:32My jewellery, so I discover. All I ever had is his in law.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35All I ever had.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39I hope you might find it in some way wanting.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44It is sound. it cannot be otherwise.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48The law is no less plain in that matter
0:05:48 > 0:05:50than in the matter of your child.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44COUGHING
0:06:47 > 0:06:50They are charged with breaking looms and cutting silk.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Did you do this?
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- We did not! - And have the proof of it! - Did you have cause?
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- As could all the brave lads who went out that night. - The night Spitalfields burned.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Much good it did. Next morning the mercers' soldiery kept the streets.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Matthew Bambridge will bear witness.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15he spoke against us at the Magistrate's.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18It was his house they went into where Thomas Capel's looms are.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Both men are mercers?
0:07:20 > 0:07:25Capel is the mercer. He it was who brought the charge. Bambridge is Capel's foreman.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Why does Bambridge take against you?
0:07:27 > 0:07:34There was bad feeling between us. Mr Capel had him lay us off from our work and he was glad to do it.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35And who brings the proof you speak of?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Catherine Quinn.- Who is?
0:07:38 > 0:07:39My wife.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42And my sister.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45You are brothers in law and you are work-fellows.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Yes, and now bedfellows in this.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52We have asked for you.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55You have asked. Have you the means?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- What is it?- A guinea.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02We've had no work since Bambridge laid us off.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04We stand near destitute.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I will take the brief.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- They are but a step from the workhouse. - Nonetheless, I will take the brief.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Much was done that night in Spitalfields.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21There were mercers' heads cracked.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25If they cannot find men that should hang for it, they will find men that can.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Their only defence lies in the wife of the one who is the sister of the other.- I believe them innocent.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Their defence is slender!
0:08:31 > 0:08:36I spend my days on the Bailey treadmill, Mr Southouse, because I have no choice.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37It is much of a muchness.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40These men are different, they have a cause
0:08:40 > 0:08:43and their affliction rises from their love of it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Bambridge is their principal accuser. Do you know him?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I could come to know him.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Are you unwell, Mr Southouse?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I have a damnable chill.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Then we must feed it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00You will join us, I will mull some wine.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Sir?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Why do you dog me? My duty to you is done, I cannot own you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Sir, I can be of help. - No, you cannot!
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Stand aside, sir. Stand aside!
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Your looms would be placed here, sir.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37We work good hours,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40so you can be sure of a pleasing return for your outlay.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41I expect no less.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Ah, what happened here?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50It was the night of the riots, sir.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Many a Spitalfields mercer had looms broke.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- And heads broke, too. - Scoundrels.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00I take much of my business now to Glasgow for that very reason.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02The common Scotchman is not so radical.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04You need not fear a repeat of it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07We have hired men on the street to keep order
0:10:07 > 0:10:09and soldiery from the tower.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Those who led the attack here are taken to Newgate
0:10:12 > 0:10:14and will shortly stand at Tyburn.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15As they should.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Those weavers you now employ...
0:10:20 > 0:10:22All true men and content.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Then let us consider an agreement.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Over a nip of brandy?- Oh, yes!
0:10:43 > 0:10:44I will take my jewels back.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47You see that I received 40 guineas from you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I must have 50 now.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Yes, I thought you would comply.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Doubtless Garrow advised on the matter?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You do it to humiliate me, Arthur.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I do it because it is the law.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38You took from me what is mine.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Is you hatred for me so deep, you delight in my hurt?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47You are mistaken, it is a simple matter of ownership.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Arthur.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Give him back to me.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You loved me once, you practiced to be kind.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03It would be a fine thing to do. It would set us right, you and me.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06You are wrong to hang this matter on feeling.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09As with the baubles, so with Samuel, it is the law.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15You served a writ of habeas corpus on me, you invoke the law as I do.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18We shall see whom the law prefers.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35It put me in fear of my life.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I could do nothing but watch.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38It must be stopped.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41And will be - for the two that were arrested.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Now, where is your silk most used, sir?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Where I can best make a profit.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54And how many yards will you ask of me each day?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Your men are keen workers? - They are.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Then let us say 300 yards a day.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I jest, sir! I jest.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19You have no doubt the men accused were the men you saw?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I knew them both as men who had worked the looms.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24And I knew them for union men.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27How so?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29They had spoken out for unions many a time.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30It was known of them.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32And you saw them, plain?
0:13:32 > 0:13:37When I protested, one of them raised his axe to me.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41He was as close to me as you are now, sir, and I shall swear it.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42But will you be believed?
0:13:42 > 0:13:47At Middlesex sessions, a barrister tried to shake me.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I stood my ground as an honest man should.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52You have given testimony before?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Aye, and to good effect. The man was hanged.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- At Middlesex, was it? - Mm.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Blessed be the Lord who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13Our soul is escaped, as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15The snare is broken and we are escaped.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Which union exactly are you with?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Are you Liberty Men?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Dreadnought Sloop? Combinators, is that it?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33You kept it back that you are union men.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34It tells against us.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Indeed it does.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38And more so had it come a surprise to me in court.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Mr Capel, who brings this case against us,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42once had 1,000 men at his looms.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Then came the machines and it is 400.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49As men lose their work, so women and children their homes and provender.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Because so many are in want, he pays low.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55And that at a time when bread costs more.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58There are many like him. But there are many more like us.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03- We organise because we must. - Right or wrong, unions are unlawful.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07We have spoke out against weavers' conditions and weavers' pay.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09That does not prove us union men.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11It weighs in that direction.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Catherine!
0:15:19 > 0:15:22A collection was took up among friends.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Beidh tu imithe on oig seo go luath.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31You are Mr Garrow?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- I am. - I'm Catherine Quinn.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35What passed between you just then?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I told them they will soon be away from here.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40There will be a strong case against them, I fear.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41It will not stand against the truth.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45My husband and my brother were in my house when the breaking was done.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48We talked into the night. It was said that Mr Bambridge's house
0:15:48 > 0:15:52was broke into at midnight. We had not gone to our beds at that time.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55And there was no-one else there who might say so?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Why would there be?
0:15:59 > 0:16:00What did he read from?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02The psalms.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04So will I.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06I will take my leave.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16They sent runners to the house.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19The letters you sent me to copy, they found them.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33The beef is excellent.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36It has been six weeks hung.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39The pickle helps it.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42The pie also looks promising.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Oh, then cut some, Mr Southouse.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50You say that it was costly to redeem the jewels, how costly?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55All we had, save five guineas.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- To bring a case in chancery? - 400 guineas would be the least of it.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Thought it is a lost cause, whether or not you have the means.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Does the law never yield to circumstance?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It is not the way of things, no.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Mr Southouse? - There is little precedent for any
0:17:15 > 0:17:18but the father having sway in such a case.
0:17:18 > 0:17:25If that were not enough, forgive me, you have been stated an adulteress.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27It was not true.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Perhaps not when criminal conversation was brought.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32But now...
0:17:36 > 0:17:38You must put it behind you.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43The child will at least prosper as Sir Arthur's heir.
0:17:43 > 0:17:49You think I should be content to have my son in the care of that...
0:17:50 > 0:17:52..That man and his demi-monde?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Never!
0:17:54 > 0:17:56But I do say there is no help for it.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00And in yearning after the boy, you only do yourself harm.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I forget, sir, you do not have children.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Excuse me...I have said too much.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Samuel's absence...
0:18:33 > 0:18:34..Is a wound.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39It will not heal until I have him by me.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I can think of nothing to say.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04The gallows cart goes quickly.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06At break-neck pace.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00You served her with a writ, she returned the jewels,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02all went as you intended.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Why are you out of sorts?
0:20:05 > 0:20:06It's not enough.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09What more could you have done to disrupt her?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Nothing.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Hence my mood.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Why must you keep Samuel from her?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Why legitimise another man's bastard?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Do you want the child? I do not!
0:20:22 > 0:20:23But she does.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27And my one contentment is in her pain.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Take of them what you want.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I would never wear another woman's jewellery.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Especially that of a rival.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49And, in any case, these are daywear trinkets.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Did you never buy her better than this, Arthur?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57You have sweats?
0:20:57 > 0:20:58I do.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01A dry cough?
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Yes.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04What more?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I have fierce aches in my body.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I am chilled and feverish by turn.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12You say you are an attorney?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Do you go sometimes to prison houses?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Often. To Newgate, for the most part.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22It is gaol fever.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25You are sure of this?
0:21:25 > 0:21:26I have seen it before.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Will it leave me?
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Some it leaves, others not.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Then tell me how I might find myself among the happier crew.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41You must take to your bed.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Have someone by to swab you each hour.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Undertake an inner cleansing by means of an emetic
0:21:47 > 0:21:50and also a purgative for the bowel.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Will I die from it?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It has a hold of you.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22There is work to be done.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30These two.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Sit!
0:22:45 > 0:22:48We are looking for anything concerning custody of a child.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52I have such a case at the back of my mind.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55But I have more than half forgot it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Am I now to be employed here?
0:22:58 > 0:22:59You are apprenticed.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01So you will own me now?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03I will.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07And, mark me, it will be honest labour.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22KNOCK AT DOOR
0:23:25 > 0:23:26There might be a way!
0:23:27 > 0:23:31I have discovered certain things.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Not least from Chancery records in the case of James Hertford.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Hear what my Lord Farnham said in summary.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50"I would be better pleased, and justice better served,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54"if the law of the land should follow the law of nature
0:23:54 > 0:23:56"in a matter such as this.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01"For it must be evident to all that she who will best nurture a son...
0:24:01 > 0:24:03"is his mother."
0:24:05 > 0:24:09It is the only instance of such a judgment.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13But, where there is a first, there can be a second.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Change does not come easily or quickly to the law, but it does come.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I offer it in hope.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27And indeed there would be hope, Mr Southouse,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30were Will and I not hand to mouth.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Yes.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Of that, there is something I would like to say.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41I have not been encouraging in the matter of Samuel.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47Now we have cause to advance, there is more I can do.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53I can furnish the funds needed to bring the case in chancery.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- I could not possibly allow it. - Why not?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02It would be impossible to say when we might repay such a loan.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I do not offer it as a loan.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07I offer it as a gift.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I offer it as a friend.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14John.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I have no words.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I need none.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Mr Silvester?
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Lady Sarah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I propose to apply at chancery for the custody of my son.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Do you, madam? You will lose.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45I thought so, once. Now I find there is a precedent.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I ask you to plead my case.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53But you have your advocate... to hand, as it were.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55You know he could not.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59And why do you come to me?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I need a man of experience and skill.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07One whose reputation goes before him.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I've taken your ward of chancery case.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15But it's known you are strapped. I must be sure of the fee.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18There will be no difficulty with the fee.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22I'm glad of it. She's determined to have me.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Sarah, you have taken on Silvester to plead for Samuel?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I have, yes.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- And the fee? - We have a benefactor.- Who?
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Mr Southouse.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40He offered it as a gift from a friend.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42And, as a friend, I accepted.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54Therefore, my heart is glad and my glory rejoiceth.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57My flesh also shall rest in hope.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Will you sleep, Ciaran?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10If you sleep, I shall be alone.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I could read to you.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Yes, Cathal.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Read to me.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32He leadeth me beside the still waters.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34He restoreth my soul.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40for his name's sake.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I will fear no evil.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47For Thou art with me.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Thou anointest my head with oil.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59My cup runneth over.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Ciaran Quinn and Cathal Foley.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41You are charged that you did, with others unknown,
0:28:41 > 0:28:44feloniously and not having the fear of God before your eyes,
0:28:44 > 0:28:47break into the house of Matthew Bambridge...
0:28:47 > 0:28:48These two are lost.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50You think so?
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Oh, I'm sure of it. Just as Lady Sarah is sure of me.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58..And against the King's peace. How do you say?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00- Not guilty.- Not guilty.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02SHOUTING AND JEERING
0:29:24 > 0:29:27How many were they who broke into your house?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I would say eight.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32And of these eight, do you see any in court?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- These two.- Say what they did.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38They broke a reed and a harness.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40They also broke looms and cut 100 yards of silk.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42What do you know of these men?
0:29:42 > 0:29:46I know them to be agitators and troublemakers.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51They go to meetings where people speak for the setting up of unions.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Are they men of violence?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57I'd instruction from Mr Capel to lay them off from their work.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I paid them their due, for which they must sign in receipt.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05As he made his mark, the man Quinn spat in my face.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16Bambridge gave testimony against two men before a reward were offered.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19It is clear evidence that this man is a blaggard.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Mr Garrow, will you begin?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Something has come to light, my Lord.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Really?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Really?!
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Eight came into your house?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39So I judge.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42And, of the eight, you can only be sure of two?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45All had their faces covered save three.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50One I did not know. These fellows, I know well.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- You had been woken from sleep, Mr Bambridge?- Yes.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56And do you sleep with lit candles?
0:30:56 > 0:30:57How did you see the men?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59There was a full moon coming through shop window.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02It was light enough to see a rat, had it run across the passage.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Oh, I suspect there was a rat, Mr Bambridge.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- Were you fearful when the men broke in?- I was.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11And so, fearful, barely awake, able to see only by moonlight,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13and yet these two men you are sure of,
0:31:13 > 0:31:16who took no care to cover their faces?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18They had their faces covered at first.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Their exertions caused their disguise to slip.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22Ah, now we have it.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24So they were covered but not covered.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26You would do well to remember, sir,
0:31:26 > 0:31:30that you are on oath for this. And you swore by Almighty God to it.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I am a Christian man, Mr Garrow.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34I have a sure and fast belief in Christ my Lord
0:31:34 > 0:31:36and the salvation of his blood.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45"I do hereby declare, as my last and dying words,
0:31:45 > 0:31:47"in the presence of Almighty God,
0:31:47 > 0:31:51"that I am innocent of what I am now to die for.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54"Let my blood lie to that wicked man who has purchased it with gold
0:31:54 > 0:31:56"and who swore it falsely away."
0:31:58 > 0:32:01These are the words of one John Doyle, do you know the man?
0:32:05 > 0:32:06I do remember.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09An Irishman and a weaver, tried at Middlesex.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12One of two men hanged outside the Salmon and Ball pub
0:32:12 > 0:32:15for cutting silk and breaking looms.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Know you the wicked man that he speaks of?
0:32:20 > 0:32:22It is you, is it not?
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- My Lord, this is of no matter here. - My Lord, I will show that it is.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27Be sure you do!
0:32:27 > 0:32:32The main witness called against Doyle was one Matthew Bambridge.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Was this you, or was it some other Matthew Bambridge?
0:32:36 > 0:32:37It was I.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- And how did you profit by it? - My profit was in telling the truth.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45And by the receipt of a reward. There was a reward, was there not?
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Put up by mercers and requiring conviction?
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- It is often so. - Is it? Yes, of course.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55I am sure you are well versed in the frequency of rewards.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59And how long have you known Quinn and Foley?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- I worked alongside them four year. - Alongside for four years, sir!
0:33:03 > 0:33:08- And now you speak out against them? - I was required to tell the truth.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11And yet waited near a month before doing so. Why did you?
0:33:11 > 0:33:13I came forward when I was needed!
0:33:13 > 0:33:16You came forward when a reward was posted and not before.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21You are a man who will testify for a reward.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24You are a man who will have others hanged for a reward!
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- I witnessed from Christian probity! - You witnessed from greed!
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- My Lord!- Mr Garrow!
0:33:30 > 0:33:32You have said your say!
0:33:35 > 0:33:38I call Thomas Capel for the prosecution.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Call Thomas Capel.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46That night of rioting, your looms were broke and your silk was cut.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Is this not so?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50It is.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52What damage was done?
0:33:52 > 0:33:56The silk alone would likely make £100 or more.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00What can you say of these men in the dock?
0:34:00 > 0:34:04They go against the law with talk of unions
0:34:04 > 0:34:07and the rights of weavers. They're rabble-rousers.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09You have heard them speak so?
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Both. But in particular Foley.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Do you know them to have been members of any union?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I was told they were.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- Told by whom? - By their fellows.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24Is there...other evidence of this?
0:34:24 > 0:34:28A letter found by the runners at Quinn's house.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31A call to arms.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Is this a letter by a group called the Conquering and Bold Defiance?
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- It is. - My Lord, we have it in court.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43This is a letter encouraging people illegal acts, is it not?
0:34:43 > 0:34:46It calls for the setting up of unions
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- and encourages the breaking of looms.- It does.
0:34:48 > 0:34:55So we have both Quinn and Foley seen to break looms and cut silk.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58And we have a letter calling for criminal action,
0:34:58 > 0:35:02waiting only to be copied and sent out.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03My thanks, Mr Capel.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Have you no doubt that it was Quinn who wrote that letter?
0:35:14 > 0:35:18None. It was found in his house and it spouts his ideas.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Must this mean that he is its author?
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Unless it was his dog that writ it!
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- Here is the Bible that you swore on?- Yes.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33Now I will swear something to you.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38If Ciaran Quinn will read some lines from this to the court,
0:35:38 > 0:35:40I will convey him to Tyburn myself.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Please, read Mr Quinn. - My Lord, he speaks to Quinn!
0:35:43 > 0:35:44Mr Garrow, you are outrageous!
0:35:44 > 0:35:47My Lord, you will have nothing from him.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50As he cannot read or write, he must be read to.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54So says Mr Garrow! It is arranged. The man simply holds his peace.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58You heard Mr Bambridge say that, when he was laid off,
0:35:58 > 0:36:03Quinn signed his mark to get his money and then spat in his face.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05He reported as much to me.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Why does a man make his mark?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13You will answer the question.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18When does a man not put his name but make his mark?
0:36:20 > 0:36:22When he cannot read or write!
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- We will continue in the morning. - Court shall rise.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- My Lord! - In the morning, Mr Silvester!
0:36:51 > 0:36:56I never thought it would go for me, that I do not know my letters.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59Yes.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Better they had not found it.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Foley!
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Regarding your offer, Mr Southouse.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37I cannot take the money, in all conscience.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40What has your conscience to do with it?
0:37:40 > 0:37:41What have YOU to do with it?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I made my offer to Lady Sarah and she has accepted.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47It is a great sum and it would beggar you.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Who are you to know what it would take to beggar me?
0:37:50 > 0:37:51You have 400 guineas?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55I have always lived economical and prudent.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57I have marked it.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Why this profligacy now?
0:38:01 > 0:38:06Each man's life should carry at least one moment of recklessness.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13If one walks free, it will not be you.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14They have the letter.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Quinn cannot write. Can you?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Mr Garrow speaks for us.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Mr Garrow cannot guarantee your freedom. I can.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Turn King's Evidence against Quinn.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Do this and the charge against you will be withdrawn.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- How so?- It is the law.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Newgate has a...smell about it.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Had you noticed this?
0:38:44 > 0:38:45It is dung.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47No.
0:38:49 > 0:38:50It is death.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57Turn King's Evidence and your guilt is set aside at that moment.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03Your shackles will come off. You'll walk from here a free man.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04But Ciaran must hang?
0:39:06 > 0:39:09He is my sister's husband!
0:39:09 > 0:39:11He is my friend!
0:39:11 > 0:39:15And you will stand shoulder to shoulder with him at Tyburn.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48You're not well, Uncle.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Not at all.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54I had a chill of late, but it has passed.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Why did they fetch you out, Cathal?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Why were you summoned, if no-one came to meet you?
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Cathal!
0:41:00 > 0:41:04- Mr Silvester will try your alibi. He will be harsh.- I know it.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06He will do his best to shake you.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08The truth cannot be shaken.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- With your consent, my Lord?- Yes. - Stand by that.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33I call Cathal Foley as witness for the prosecution.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35He turns King's Evidence.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37My Lord, this is irregular!
0:41:37 > 0:41:41No, Mr Garrow, it is not, as you well know.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Inconvenient, perhaps.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth
0:41:57 > 0:41:59and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
0:41:59 > 0:42:01So help me God.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Jurymen, the circumstances here are that Foley has elected
0:42:05 > 0:42:09to turn King's Evidence against his fellow.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11He is for the prosecution now.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Do you admit to the charges laid against you?
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- I do.- That you broke into Mr Bambridge's house,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- that you destroyed looms, that you cut silk?- Yes.
0:42:28 > 0:42:34Do you say that Ciaran Quinn was there with you and did the same?
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- Yes.- Why do you own to this now?
0:42:40 > 0:42:42The burden of untruth lay heavy on me.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44I would clear my conscience.
0:42:48 > 0:42:53The burden of untruth must... lie on you much more heavily now.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56As must that of betrayal and cowardice.
0:42:56 > 0:42:57God is my judge.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01A judge in much closer attendance can read your face.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03As can I, sir.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- You do this from fear of death.- No!
0:43:05 > 0:43:09By turning King's Evidence, you go free. That is the law.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11What matters truth?
0:43:12 > 0:43:16You believe that things turn against you.
0:43:17 > 0:43:22The evidence of Bambridge and Capel, the seditious letter.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25Your fear is that my Lord will not believe you,
0:43:25 > 0:43:26jurymen will not believe you.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30You smell the gallows, you smell the rope.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33So you tell these lies to gain your freedom.
0:43:36 > 0:43:37That is not why.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41This man is your childhood friend, is he not?
0:43:44 > 0:43:45The man you send to Tyburn,
0:43:45 > 0:43:48the man whose death buys your freedom.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51Is this not a despicable act?
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- The burden of untruth... - Yes, yes!
0:43:55 > 0:43:59We all know what you've been schooled in.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02Do you say that Mr Bambridge saw you with your face uncovered?
0:44:02 > 0:44:05- He did.- And Quinn?- Yes.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07Was that not foolhardy?
0:44:07 > 0:44:10In the heat of things, the disguise slipped.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13- You're repeating what Bambridge said.- Because it is true!- Is it?
0:44:13 > 0:44:16The seditious letter, did you write that?
0:44:16 > 0:44:17I know nothing of the letter.
0:44:17 > 0:44:21But you do belong to an illegal union of working men?
0:44:21 > 0:44:25I am guilty of nothing but what I am charged with here.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Who briefed you, briefed you well.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33See yourself as a free man, Foley.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36See yourself on the public street,
0:44:36 > 0:44:39unfettered, where your lies have taken you.
0:44:40 > 0:44:45Hear the people haloo and cat-call as a cart goes by,
0:44:45 > 0:44:47taking a man to Tyburn.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52See the man inside the cart.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54It is he who you have condemned.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59Do you look him in the eye?
0:44:59 > 0:45:02Or do you turn aside from his gaze?
0:45:02 > 0:45:04I ask you, sir...
0:45:05 > 0:45:09..in the name of what is true and what is honourable...
0:45:09 > 0:45:11to recant.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14What I have said is true.
0:45:18 > 0:45:20Though not honourable.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25- Mr Garrow, have you any more for this man?- No, my Lord.
0:45:28 > 0:45:33No, no! Don't put him back in there. He's no longer accused.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36- Put him here?- It will serve.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Mr Garrow.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43Call Catherine Quinn.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00I swear by Almighty God to tell the truth,
0:46:00 > 0:46:02the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07Catherine.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09I will take you through this if you will follow me.
0:46:09 > 0:46:14Simply say all that you first intended. All of it.
0:46:17 > 0:46:22When Mr Bambridge's house was broke into, were you at home?
0:46:22 > 0:46:23Yes, sir.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27And please tell me and the court if anyone was there with you.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31My husband, Ciaran Quinn, and my brother Cathal Foley.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34And you talked late into the night, all three?
0:46:35 > 0:46:37- Yes.- Did anyone go out and come back?
0:46:37 > 0:46:40No-one.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42And did you talk until near dawn?
0:46:42 > 0:46:44We did.
0:46:44 > 0:46:48Your brother says that this is not so.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50He says that he and your husband went to break looms
0:46:50 > 0:46:53at the house of Mr Bambridge. Do you say he is lying?
0:46:54 > 0:46:55Yes.
0:46:55 > 0:46:59Do you say he is... self-serving in the matter?
0:46:59 > 0:47:04That he turns King's Evidence merely to save himself?
0:47:04 > 0:47:05Yes.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Do you denounce your brother?
0:47:15 > 0:47:17I do denounce him.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26You came here to speak for these men?
0:47:26 > 0:47:30Wife of one, sister of the other.
0:47:30 > 0:47:31Yes.
0:47:33 > 0:47:38You have heard your brother say he and Quinn did as they are charged.
0:47:38 > 0:47:43Do you say he was a liar from childhood or has he just begun?
0:47:43 > 0:47:46He speaks from fear. The truth is as I have stated it.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52You knew they were guilty, but you determined to help them.
0:47:52 > 0:47:53It is natural.
0:47:53 > 0:47:59But now your brother turns King's Evidence and everything comes apart.
0:48:01 > 0:48:02Well...
0:48:03 > 0:48:08..one of them is lying, that much is certain.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12One of them will go to his maker with that sin on his head,
0:48:12 > 0:48:14be it sooner or later.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20Mr Garrow has asked your brother to make in his mind
0:48:20 > 0:48:22a picture of your husband in the gallows cart.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25I ask you to do the same.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28See him in the cart.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32See him standing under Tyburn Tree.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36His hands are bound. His feet also.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42The hangman places the noose around his neck.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47Will he pray, do you think? Does he have entitlement?
0:48:47 > 0:48:50See it on your mind's eye.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53The cart pulls away. The rope starts to do its work.
0:48:54 > 0:48:59Will he go to his maker clean, or is he a liar?
0:48:59 > 0:49:01A sinner bound for hell?
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Save him! In the name of God!
0:49:28 > 0:49:30We adjourn...
0:49:30 > 0:49:32for a respite.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Court shall rise.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45We will do all that we can, Catherine.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Mr Southouse!
0:49:50 > 0:49:54Southouse the liar, Southouse the impostor.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57My deceit was in pursuit of the truth, sir.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00Yours was in pursuit of money. Blood money!
0:50:00 > 0:50:05Nothing more than a just reward for an honest account of affairs.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07Foley and Quinn are guilty both.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09Though to escape one kills the other.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11Their guilt or innocence is nothing to you.
0:50:11 > 0:50:16The mercers need men to hang, so others will be discouraged.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19You saw profit from their deaths.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22And may your soul be damned for it!
0:50:25 > 0:50:28He is lost, Mr Southouse. He is lost, I fear.
0:50:28 > 0:50:29So it seems.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35You must play to the jury.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38You must speak not to their heads, but to their hearts.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41They may think him guilty, but still acquit.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42Pious perjury?
0:50:42 > 0:50:47A young man will hang, Will. His life has barely begun.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49< Court is in session.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57Mr Garrow, have you more?
0:50:57 > 0:51:02I shall call a witness as to the defendant's character, my Lord.
0:51:02 > 0:51:04Thomas Capel, now for the defence.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06Call Thomas Capel.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08Who is this, Garrow?
0:51:08 > 0:51:11Anyone who knows him, might shed light on a man's character, my Lord.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16Mr Capel, be advised,
0:51:16 > 0:51:19that the oath you swore before still obtains.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24Mr Capel, weavers sometimes sleep where they labour, do they not?
0:51:24 > 0:51:25Sometimes.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28Their conditions are not good. Many complain of it.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31Malcontents complain of it.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33What wage does a weaver have?
0:51:33 > 0:51:35It depends on the mercer.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Very good. What wage do those have who work for you?
0:51:37 > 0:51:39Three shillings a week.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41And what was it before power looms were brought in?
0:51:42 > 0:51:44You will answer the question.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46A guinea, perhaps.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49So, a man must keep his family on a seventh of what he once had,
0:51:49 > 0:51:52or find himself put out of work by a machine?
0:51:52 > 0:51:54My Lord, this is not to character.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56Mr Garrow, you are beyond your limits!
0:51:56 > 0:51:58Mr Capel, you must have found Mr Quinn a good man,
0:51:58 > 0:52:02a capable man, otherwise you would not have employed him.
0:52:02 > 0:52:06I thought as much, but he turned out to be an agitator and a miscreant.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08YOU would have him so.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10You would have him hang as an example, guilty or no.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14He is a union man and a breaker of looms!
0:52:14 > 0:52:18Mercers must hire men to protect their property from such as he!
0:52:18 > 0:52:21A militia who serve you while innocent men hang
0:52:21 > 0:52:23and the Spitalfields workhouses overflow.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25There's work for them if they choose!
0:52:25 > 0:52:27A man might think it is work or penury.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30- With you, it is work AND penury.- My Lord!
0:52:30 > 0:52:32Here we have a man of good character,
0:52:32 > 0:52:34thrown out of work on nothing but hearsay.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37- A man who could earn three shillings a week... - My Lord, he addresses the jury!
0:52:37 > 0:52:41- ..Where once he had a guinea, gentlemen.- My Lord!- Mr Garrow!
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Whose labour has been taken from him by use of a machine.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46And who now stands victim to a false testimony
0:52:46 > 0:52:47and to a friend's cowardice.
0:52:47 > 0:52:51- And if he is given guilty today... - My Lord, this is an outrage!
0:52:51 > 0:52:54- Mr Garrow, you must desist! - Is that meet? Is it?!
0:52:54 > 0:52:57If he were he guilty, which I state plainly he is not,
0:52:57 > 0:53:01must he hang alongside murderers and cutpurses?
0:53:01 > 0:53:07- Mr Garrow, you will be in contempt! - All for the breaking of wood and the cutting of silk?!
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Is that a just end for any man?
0:53:13 > 0:53:17Gentlemen...you must know that Mr Garrow
0:53:17 > 0:53:20was playing you like a harpist.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22This is a simple matter.
0:53:22 > 0:53:27Quinn was seen to commit the crime of which he stands accused.
0:53:27 > 0:53:31More, his fellow has turned King's Evidence against him
0:53:31 > 0:53:32and says the same.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35There is no equivocation here. Bring me a verdict!
0:53:48 > 0:53:50We need time to consider, my Lord.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53There is nothing to debate!
0:53:59 > 0:54:00Well?!
0:54:05 > 0:54:08We find him...not guilty.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10You will reconsider!
0:54:10 > 0:54:11It is our verdict!
0:54:11 > 0:54:16Huh! Justice this day goes to rank sentiment.
0:54:18 > 0:54:21Foley! Stand up.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25You will come before me in four days time.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28It will be perjury. Expect no mercy.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30Take him to Newgate.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35Quinn, you may go.
0:54:49 > 0:54:50Cathal!
0:54:52 > 0:54:55Dia leat.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59Did you curse him?
0:55:00 > 0:55:02He said, "God be with you."
0:55:05 > 0:55:06Did I defend a guilty man?
0:55:08 > 0:55:10What matter now?
0:55:17 > 0:55:21Robert Jones, otherwise called Charles Warner
0:55:21 > 0:55:25was indicted for that he, on the 3rd of November...
0:55:50 > 0:55:54I shall retire, Arthur.
0:55:56 > 0:55:58Good night, then.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19I am not wrong in this.
0:56:19 > 0:56:21No, you are not...
0:56:22 > 0:56:25..if it brings Samuel back.
0:56:32 > 0:56:33And would that please you?
0:56:36 > 0:56:38To see that burden lifted from you? Of course.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41What if that burden should shift from me to you?
0:56:43 > 0:56:48It is the child you must want, not my release from grief.
0:56:51 > 0:56:55Can you take him as your own,
0:56:55 > 0:56:58though he is another man's son?
0:57:00 > 0:57:02If you doubt that...
0:57:04 > 0:57:08..It is because your feeling in the matter is so great,
0:57:08 > 0:57:10that it leaves no room for mine.
0:57:43 > 0:57:45A sweet, young, free-born female
0:57:45 > 0:57:49is tortured by the vicious governor general of a slave colony.
0:57:49 > 0:57:51Torture in Trinidad, it's a sensation.
0:57:51 > 0:57:55Do I not have claim to the child I laboured long to bring into this world?
0:57:55 > 0:57:59- You abandoned him! - You lie! You stole him from me!
0:57:59 > 0:58:02He used me most cruelly and I want him paid out!
0:58:02 > 0:58:05Dare you stand up for me, Mr Garrow?
0:58:05 > 0:58:08Will. What's this? What have you done?
