| 1 – 9 | "Are you a regular attendee at courts? Have you visited London's finest?" The usher beams. "It's got nothing on this! We could fit three Old Bailey's in here." He's not exaggerating. The Magistracy is profligately large. |
| 10 – 19 | "Just one moment, I'd love to talk to you, but..." The usher trots over to a portly gentleman in a brocade waistcoat and thick, fur coat. "Mind showing me what's in your pockets? We had a plaintiff turn Jack on us last week,[…]" |
| 20 – 29 | "We've got the best police, the best lawyers and the best judges.[…] No wonder there's almost no crime around here. Now, take London..." […] much higher population, more densely packed, greater poverty[…] But of course, it is probably just down to the court. |
