At the same time, an emerging cultural emphasis on truth-telling drove the development of new ways of inhibiting perjury. Strikingly original and drawing on a broad array of archival research, Wendie Schneider's examination of the Victorian courtroom charts this period of experimentation and how its innovations shaped contemporary trial procedure. Blending legal, social, and colonial history, she shines new light on cross-examination, the most enduring product of this time and the "greatest legal engine ever invented for the discovery of truth." 606 $aProcedure (Law)$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aCross-examination$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 610 $ahistory 610 $aAdultery 610 $aBarrister 610 $aCross-examination 610 $aDefendant 610 $aDivorce 610 $aDivorce Court 610 $aPerjury 610 $aProctor 610 $aVictorian era 615 0$aProcedure (Law)$xHistory 615 0$aCross-examination$xHistory 676 $a347.075 700 $aSchneider$b Wendie Ellen, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0925013 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136398303321 996 $aEngines of Truth$92076146 997 $aUNINA
