The Old Bailey proceedings for today, 10th July, in 1865.
Follow the link and then search for Belvedere. This is the record of a court case at the Old Bailey centering on a possible mugging on Linden Grove ("a very retired road, shaded by trees; you can see no lamps").
The details are marvellous (skittles, gambling, the drinks and prices), and they have scanned in the original pages as well... Go see.
