For those wishing to know: Richard Harris was a Barrister in Victorian 
London and wrote this to expose sharp-practice and major failures in the 
legal system.  It does assume some familiarity with the legal system 
as it then stood, but is written as a story.  The humour comes mainly from 
the dialect of the characters, it's a pretty grim tale.

All the best,
