The website Proceedings of the Old Bailey London’s Central Criminal Court has increased its case coverage by some 100,000 more trials, to cover the period 1674-1913. It has also begun adding the Ordinary’s Accounts – adding even more detail to the lives (and deaths) of the convicts executed at Tyburn 1690-1772. For more details about this another developments on the website, please consult the What’s New pages.
Along with the additions have come changes in functionality – but in case you are used to working with the old system, this is being preserved at a separate URL until December 2008 – but of course it only has the original coverage 1674-1834.
