- Garrow, despite Sarah's assurances, in a deeply depressed mood having failed to save Thomas Whiley, a twelve-year old-mute boy, from the gallows, enters the civil court to hear Hill's accusation of adultery against him. Silvester, previously his adversary, defends him in the spirit of fair play and does well, demolishing the prosecution witnesses, Hill's Admiralty cronies. Meanwhile, Sarah's loyal maid Mary refuses to perjure herself and it is the dogged and devoted Southouse who saves the day by bringing in a surprise, last minute witness to expose Hill's hypocrisy.—don @ minifie-1
- Thomas Wiley, a twelve-year-old mute boy, is accused of theft of the Mail. Garrow knows who the organizer of the thefts is, with this boy being the latest among several to appear. Unfortunately, he can find no witnesses against the culprit and the boy is scheduled to hang. It all has a serious effect on him as he cannot accept the law as just when it condemns a boy to die and lets the true criminal go free. Garrow also has his day in court on a charge of adultery brought by Sir Arthur Hill with respect to his wife, Lady Sarah. He's surprised by Silvester, who offers to defend him. Sir Arthur's solicitor has bribed and blackmailed witnesses and seems to have arranged for an airtight case against Garrow. Sir Arthur's own background is their only defense.—garykmcd
