Darwin on Trial at the Old Bailey #263331

Sir richard bully: Very well. Before I proceed to explain the nature of the charge I may mention that at the prisoner's place of business a large portfolio containing indecent photographs has been found. Mr. Macintosh wood: I object to this statement, which is brought forward only to prejudice my client's case. These photo graphs do not form part of the indictment; but besides they are reproductions of masterpieces of art. The recorder: I suppose that counsel for the prosecution will produce the photographs only to show the kind of literature in which the prisoner dealt at his shop.
