Literature | Lydford Law is, punish first and try afterwards. Lydford, in the county of Devon, was a fortified town, in which was an ancient castle, where were held the courts of the Duchy of Cornwall. Offenders against the stannary laws were confined before trial in a dungeon so loathsome and dreary that it gave rise to the proverb referred to. The castle was destroyed by the Danes. (See Cupar Justice, Cowper Law .) "I oft have heard of Lydford law, How in the morn they hang and draw, And sit in judgment later." A Devonshire Poet. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
