Publisher's Synopsis

The 'whores' and 'highwaymen' of Gregory Durston's title are just some of the dubious characters met with in this absorbing work, including thief-takers, trading justices, an upstart legal profession whose lower orders developed various ways to line their own pockets and magistrates and clerks who often preferred dealing with those cases which attracted fees.
