The Mr. A. Case presents the edited proceedings of a sensational 1924 trial in the King's Bench Division of the High Court, in which Charles Ernest Robinson was accused of conspiring to blackmail Sir Hari Singh, Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir. Edited and introduced by C. E. Bechhofer Roberts, this volume belongs to the Old Bailey Trials series and offers a detailed account of the legal arguments, courtroom dynamics, and broader implications of the case. Roberts, a barrister and prolific author, illustrates the intersection of criminal law, social scandal, and imperial politics, framing the trial as a study in motive, manipulation, and judicial process. The book includes black-and-white photographs and a frontispiece, enhancing its appeal to collectors of legal history and rare trial literature.
