This is an original 1903 black and white halftone print of the trial of Thomas Bambridge by the Gaols Committee in the House of Commons of the British Parliament. He stood trial for charges of murder and extortion that he committed to gain the office of the Fleet Prison Warden. He was found guilty and sentenced to debtor's prison. Ironic, that a man would illegally obtain a Prison Warden position.
