Description

Oddities of the Law is a book written by Franklin Fiske Heard and published in 1881. The book is a collection of strange and bizarre cases that have been tried in courts of law throughout history. Heard, who was a lawyer himself, has compiled a wide range of cases that range from the absurd to the downright outrageous. Some of the cases included in the book involve animals being put on trial, such as a rooster being charged with disturbing the peace, while others involve people committing bizarre crimes, such as stealing a corpse. The book provides a fascinating insight into the legal system and the strange cases that have been tried throughout history. It is an entertaining read for anyone interested in law, history or simply bizarre stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
