The Trial of Charles Pinney in the Court of King's Bench is a legal document that recounts the trial of Charles Pinney, a British politician and plantation owner, in 1806. The book provides a detailed account of the legal proceedings against Pinney, who was accused of mistreating his slaves in Jamaica. The trial was seen as a landmark case in the fight against slavery, as it was one of the first times that a slave owner had been brought to trial for mistreatment of their slaves. The book includes transcripts of the witness testimonies, legal arguments, and the verdict of the court. It also provides a historical context for the trial, discussing the abolitionist movement and the political climate of the time. Overall, The Trial of Charles Pinney in the Court of King's Bench is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of slavery and the legal system's response to it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
