50 - 74 | These days, the courtroom is always full during one of your trials. The spectators are talking and jostling well before the judge arrives, and someone is selling packets of mint humbugs. |
75 - 99 | Your courtroom is fuller than ever. Mushroom-farmers are doing a good business in snacks, and there's a growing commercial concern of urchins arriving early, taking a seat, and then selling their place on to better-heeled spectators. |
100 - 149 | The courtroom is full of onlookers: the Magistracy sells tickets to attend your trials, since there is no way to seat every curious would-be viewer. |

200 - 249 | You now command the largest courtroom in the building, and an auditor's gallery above allows people to look on in greater numbers. |
250 - 299 | The courtroom is full, and several reporters sit in the front row, sketching and recording the proceedings. Doubt Street has spared you several of its finest. |

400 - 499 | You now command the largest courtroom in the building, and an auditor's gallery above allows people to look on in greater numbers. Spectators come from London and even from farther afield: is that Khanate armour you see in the auditor's gallery? |
500 - 599 | You now command the largest courtroom in the building […]. Spectators come from London merely to observe your methods, and today a law professsor from Benthic has brought his students to watch you work. |
600 - 699 | Today the auditor's gallery is especially learned: a law professsor from Benthic has brought his students [...]. Now and again a sentence drifts down from above – about how the law is a kind of machine, and you, one of its most inventive engineers. |
700 - 749 | There are hooded figures in the auditor's gallery. They murmur to one another, and you cannot see their faces. |
750 - 776 | There are hooded figures in the auditor's gallery. They murmur to one another, and you cannot see their faces. Masters? Students playing a joke? |
777 - 999 | There are hooded figures in the auditor's gallery. There is a silent hush of expectation. Do not look their direction; it is better to keep your mind on the court. |
