註釋"A detailed analysis of the Thornton trial by Edward Holroyd (1794-1881), a young Gray's Inn lawyer and almost certainly a close relative (son?) of the distinguished Gray's Inn judge, Sir George Sowley Holroyd. Edward Holroyd's re-examination of the evidence concludes, controversially, and in spite of the popular view that Thornton was guilty of murder, that Thornton was 'probably' innocent, and 'that although Mary Ashford's death was indisputable, yet that no muder had been in fact committed by any one'. It had been a simple, but terrible, accident."--John Drury catalogue listing
