> Between 1670 and 1834 the proceedings of the central criminal court in

> detail 100,000 trials, and include over 60,000 pages of text. They
> represent the largest single source of information about non-elite lives
> ever published, and provide a wealth of detail about everyday life, as
> well as hugely valuable evidence for the history of crime.

> defendant by type of crime, and generate results as either tables or
> graphs. Information on related documents and sources found in the
> libraries and archives of London can also be linked to each trial,
> creating a trail of information leading from the internet to original
