Justice in Middlesex Summary

Justice in Middlesex: A Brief History of the Uxbridge Magistrates' Court by Eileen M. Bowlt

The connection between Middlesex, London and Westminster means that it is packed with facts about such well known interesting places and events as: Old Bailey, Newgate Prison, Coldbath Fields, Hicks's Hall, Ludgate Prison, the start of the Metropolitan Police, Tothill Fields, Tyburn, the Gordon Riots, Clerkenwell explosion and Middlesex. Guildhall is now scheduled as the home of the new UK Supreme Court...to mention just a few such items. From former times to the present day: plus 100 years at the Uxbridge Courthouse. It looks at justice ancient and modern, imprisonment, bridewells, 'houses of correction' and intriguing cases from the archives - the life and times of a part of Middlesex and the justices of the peace who gave up their time to public service.

Justice in Middlesex Reviews

'This is a very informative and affectionate piece of work by a JP who displays her affinity for the work undertaken by magistrates. It is a book that is of interest to all who work in the magistrates' courts and is recommended as a stocking filler for Christmas': The Justices' Clerk
