Old Bailey

"Hurry, Papa! Or we'll miss the hanging!" "It's not a hanging, dear, it's a trial. The hanging comes this afternoon."

- A girl and her father

The Old Bailey was a court building in central London, one of a number of buildings housing the Crown Court.

History
In 1750, the trial of Joshamee Gibbs, who was mistaken for Jack Sparrow, was held in the Old Bailey courthouse. Luckily for Gibbs, the real Jack Sparrow managed to replace the judge, and changed Gibbs' sentence from hanging to life imprisonment.
