During the Victorian era, new laws allowed more witnesses to testify in court cases. At the same time, an emerging cultural emphasis on truth-telling drove the development of new ways of inhibiting perjury. Strikingly original and drawing on a broad array of archival research, Wendie Schneider's examination of the Victorian courtroom charts this period of experimentation and how its innovations shaped contemporary trial procedure. Blending legal, social, and colonial history, she shines new light on cross-examination, the most enduring product of this time and the "greatest legal engine ever invented for the discovery of truth." 1800-1899 fast Procedure (Law) Great Britain History 19th century Cross-examination Great Britain History 19th century Cross-examination (OCoLC)fst00884167 fast Procedure (Law) (OCoLC)fst01077984 fast Great Britain (OCoLC)fst01204623 fast History fast (OCoLC)fst01411628 https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt1kft8hg Volltext frei zugänglich http://oapen.org/record/604618 Volltext frei zugänglich BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 OAPEN JSTOR eBooks: Open Access E-Books von 360MarcUpdates IDSBB FREE FREE OL IDSBB FREE FREE OL IDSBB 100 1- Schneider Wendie Ellen author IDSBB 856 40 https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt1kft8hg Volltext frei zugänglich IDSBB 856 40 http://oapen.org/record/604618 Volltext frei zugänglich SWISSBIB 403232279
