Abstract

The last sixty- five years has witnessed a growing interest by
historians of crime in the so- called Bloody Code of the eighteenth
and early nineteenth centuries. Most, if not all, of the existing
historiography on the Bloody Code has, however, focused on the
south- east of England and the Old Bailey. The aim of this article is
to examine the broad trends in the operation of the Bloody Code in
Wales between 1805 and 1830, the last quarter of a century of the
Wales Courts of Great Sessions.
