Description: The extraordinary case in 1874 of the Tichborne Claimant generated the longest trial, to that point, in British legal history. The case divided the nation along political, religious and social lines, and the campaign for justice for the Claimant proved a focus for political activism between the defeat of the Chartists and rise of the Labour Party.
