First edition of this delightful work about the most famous 19th-century court cases related to cheating at cards.
This work focuses on the engaging stories of three prominent 19th-century individuals who were accused of cheating at cards and found themselves involved in embarrassingly public court cases. The cases discussed include De Ros v. Cumming (Lord de Ros accused of cheating at whist); Gordon Cumming v. Wilson and Others (Sir William Cumming accused of adding to his stack during a game of baccarat with the Prince of Wales); and Pike v. Beamish (Pike accused of rigging poker hands at the Cork Country Club).
