Excerpt from Charge of the Lord Chief Justice of England in the Case of the Queen Against Thomas Castro, Otherwise Arthur Orton, Otherwise Sir Roger Tichborne, Vol. 1 of 2: Reprinted From the Official Copy Taken From the Shorthand Writer's Notes; Corrected by the Lord Chief Justice Gentlemen OF the jury, I congratulate you heartily on having T arrived at the last stage of this protracted and, in many respects, 0 painful inquiry. I wish I could hold out to you any reasonable prospect that the last stage was likely to be a short one; but when I look at the extent of time over which this inquiry ranges, the host of witnesses whose evidence we shall have to consider, the multitude of documents and letters which we shall have more or less to go through, and the complicated nature of the facts involved in the inquiry, I am afraid I shall have to draw somewhat largely on your time and patience, in order to place this case before you in its various lights and bearings. But you have shown such unwearied attention, such inexhaustible patience, such a desire to get at the bottom of the case, and thoroughly to understand it, that I am sure you will bear with me while I make those observations to you upon it which may appear to me necessary to enable you to arrive at a satisfactory and conclusive judgment.
