Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fellow Commoner, Vol. 1 of 3
James dillon, known many years to a considerable portion of the comitatus vulgus, under the facetious sobriquet of the Hobgoblin, from his extraordinary adroitness and activity of locomotion, or by the more characteristic cognomen of Slippery Jim, from the eel-like lubricity with which he escaped from the ofii cial clutches of watchmen and thief-catchers, Was born in Plumtree-street, St. Giles's, to wards the close of a hot night in June, some where about the latter end of the last century. He first saw the light in the cellar of a small house, which, with only eight rooms, and these of very moderate dimensions, gave nightly shelter to a hundred and ten squalid creatures.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating account of James Dillon, a notorious career criminal known for his agility and cunning. The author traces Dillon's life from his childhood in abject poverty to his execution for burglary at the age of 23. The narrative is peppered with amusing and harrowing anecdotes, showcasing Dillon's audacity and resourcefulness as he repeatedly outsmarted the authorities. Set against the backdrop of early 19th-century London's criminal underworld, the story provides a unique glimpse into Victorian-era crime and punishment. The book also explores the broader themes of fate, free will, and morality, as Dillon wrestles with his own culpability, grappling with the consequences of his actions while maintaining a defiant stance against a society he believes has dealt him a poor hand. The author argues that this struggle is not confined to Dillon alone but inherent in the human condition, making this book a fascinating and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in true crime, social history, or the complexities of the human psyche.
