Book Overview
""The Trial of Richard Patch for the Willful Murder of Isaac Blight"" is a historical account of a murder trial that took place in 1806. The book is written by Joseph Gurney and provides a detailed description of the events leading up to the murder, the trial itself, and the verdict. The victim, Isaac Blight, was a wealthy merchant who was found dead in his home with multiple stab wounds. The accused, Richard Patch, was a former employee of Blight's who had been fired and held a grudge against him. The trial was closely followed by the public and was seen as a test of the British legal system. Gurney's account provides insight into the legal proceedings of the time and the attitudes of the public towards crime and punishment. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of crime and justice in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
