Item description from seller

12 vols folio, of the full transcript of the 188-day trial: I. Speech of Mr. Hawkins, Counsel for the Prosecution, pp.1-306; II-V: Witnesses for the Prosecution, pp.1-2,520 to the end of the 57th day; [without: Days 58-89; VI-VIII, Witnesses for the Defence, to the end of 122nd day]; IX, Witnesses for the Defence and Evidence in Reply to the end of the 145th day; [without: Days 146-158]; X: Mr Hawkins' Reply, to the end of the 168th day; XI & XII, the Charge of the Lord Chief Justice (Summing up and Verdict) to the end of the 188th and final day.

There are three locations in the USA for 14 vol. sets, presumably complete: Temple Law Library, Philadelphia; Pritzker Legal Research Center; and the Gallagher Law Library, University of Washington.

The latter was vilified by the legal establishment, lost his status as Queen's Counsel and was disbarred. Orton served ten years of his 14-year sentence and was released in 1884, dying in 1898. He was given a pauper's burial. …
