In an attempt to sell more copies of the Proceedings to lawyers, the publishers occasionally sought to report legal arguments, but the pressures of City regulation and the costs of publication meant that such experiments did not last. When Edward Hodgson published the Proceedings between 1783 and 1792 he identified lawyers by name and included some of their speeches and arguments, but in 1805 the City prohibited the publication of legal arguments since it was worried that criminals might learn tricks for evading justice. In the nineteenth century lawyers were occasionally named, and their cross-examinations occasionally reported, but this reporting was not systematic, and opening and closing statements continued to be omitted. In the 1894 trial of the anarchist Francis Polti for possession of bomb making equipment, his lawyer introduced several points in his summing up (concerning the danger of succumbing to "popular prejudice" and claiming that it had not been proved that Polti had violated the specific provisions of the relevant statute), but these are not reported in the Proceedings . When George Walpole took over publication in March 1906 and introduced several improvements he included some legal evidence in the form of "carefully edited and reliable notes of any points of law or practice", together with an index to these points. By 1913, however, he had come to the conclusion that publication of the Proceedings was uneconomic and he refused to renew his contract (see The End of the Proceedings, 1913 ).
