| 520 | 3 | |a The Boulton and Park case has become one of the cause célèbre regularly cited by historians and lawyers studying the regulation of sexuality. The trial, and the role of expert witnesses in the ultimate decision to acquit, has been meticulously picked over. Rather less attention has been paid to the inception of the prosecution and the way in which that frames the subsequent trial in May 1871. Placing that trial in a wider socio-legal perspective reveals how masquerading as females regarded by the Victorian court process and the media in the light of deception, and contemporary fears about the nature of that deception which went beyond the ‘wickedness' of sexual deviance into other areas of criminality. It also leads to a suggestion that one of the most significant thing, for contemporaries, about the episode was the delaying of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1879, setting up the office of the Public Prosecutor, given the perceived failure of the Treasury Solicitor's Department in this case. | |
