James Crowley book 1845
« on: Wednesday 16 April 25 14:24 BST (UK) »
I am trying to locate a copy of a book published by William Rose of Warwick in 1845 titled
"A correct report of the trial, affidavits, etc, of the late James Crowley; together with several affecting letters and other writings, printed from his own manuscripts." The only reference that I have found is in the catalogue of the Shakespeare Archives in Stratford upon Avon but they are unable to locate the physical document (it appears to have been mislaid!). Does anyone know of a copy anywhere else, perhaps in a private library?
Regards

hi
The National Achives seems to hold an account of the trial which is available to view on FindMyPast

And was James Crowley executed or not?!

Good Luck

Thanks for the reply. I already have a lot of details of the trial but the book I am looking for has a number of letters in it that I want to see. I also have copies of the affidavits from the National Archives and some letters from another book that was published at the same time. It is just the book that I need to complete my research.
