This is quite a quirky little courtroom drama that illustrates some of the daftest elements of the ancient coroner's court practises. When "Margaret Hamilton" (Elizabeth Allan) is accused of her husband's murder, she appears before Herbert Lomas ("Thomas Knight") and his rather kangaroo court where luckily for her, she has a decent defence solicitor (Hay Petrie) who challenges the assumption that she is guilty and sets off to discover the truth. It's got two strong performances from a comically on-form Lomas and Petrie as the doughty K.C. who engage in a fun well written battle of wits. Hardly a vindication of the English judicial process but a great little watch.
