Marlborough Street; The Story of a London Court
Joan Lock
Works of: Non-fiction
Once referred to as’the most troublesome court over which a magistrate is called upon to preside’. It’s difficult reputation stemmed largely on the fame, power and influence of those likely to put in an appearance in or out of the dock and Press attention they gained. But the writer thought that the everyday characters were just as colourful with their dramatic, sad and sometimes hilarious tales. There were many foreigners from Soho or tourists; hoards of shoplifters including tourists enjoying nearby Oxford Street and several Magistrates themselves were also interesting. The jacket is decorated by an assortment of Press cuttings proving the case.
