The judges and jury in the Tichborne trial


A cabinet card showing portraits of the panel of judges and the members of the jury in the second (criminal) Tichborne trial.

This jury were markedly more middle-class than the members of the jury in the first (civil) trial. Rather than bankers, naval captains and a future earl, this jury comprised two publicans, two hosiers, a milkman, a shoemaker, a lodging house keeper and a butcher; the foreman was a linen draper.
