sources[edit]

Have you managed to find (perhaps by interlirbrary loan) :

 Beattie, J. M. London Crime and the Making of the 'Bloody Code', 1689-1718. In Stilling the Grumbling Hive, ed. by Lee Davison and T. Hitchcock and T. Keirn and R. Shoemaker. 1992. --Jfclegg (talk) 00:25, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry it perhaps was not clear: what I recommended was only one title - an essay by Beattie in a book - edited by Davison et al. If its in Turin you should be able to get it through interlibrary loan. Try looking on JStor for essays on the subject? Actually Bloody Code is a sort of nickname invented later so you might well find info under other heading e.g. "Willamite penal laws". By the way theres a real error in Wikipedia - the page says its of the 19th c! Perhaps the source was the Daily Mail!

Here is a v basic link http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/candp/punishment/g06/g06cs1.htm

and another http://www.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/medialibrary/law/main_site/Research/Student_Law_Review2/MSLR_Vol2_3(Evans).pdf It cotes Gattrell. The Hanging Tree (which I have)

Actually you could go straight to the classic history of the law (which must be somewhere in Ca' F!!) Leon Radzinowicz, A History of English Criminal Law and its Administration from 1750, Volume I (Stephens & Sons 1948) 4.

Come to office hours if stuck. --Jfclegg (talk) 10:40, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
