Whenever Justice miscarries it is usually in favour of the prisoner, although in such a case it is seldom followed by a public agitation. The reason for this is that we all profess to believe it is better to allow ninety-nine guilty persons to escape than that one innocent should be convicted, though if that smugly philosophical theory could be tested by actual fact it is certain there would be an outcry exceeding that following the acquittal of Abraham Thornton in 1817 and the popular indignation inspired by the conviction of Mrs. Maybrick in 1889.
