Trials and Sentences of all the Prisoners at the Old Bailey Sessions, April, 1828, With the Sentences of William Jones, who was Tried last Sessions, for the Murder of Mrs Jeffs

Broadside printed with a list of the names, trials and sentences of prisoners tried before the Old Bailey in April 1828. The broadside includes an account of the infamous trial of William Jones who was found guilty of stealing a coat but not guilty of the murder of the widow and domestic servant Betty Jeffs at Montague Place.
Such cheaply produced trial broadsides were published by a small number of printers many of whom, such as Thomas Birt, James Catnach and James Pitts were based around the Seven Dials area of London. Spelling and grammar was often poor and the details not always accurate.
