Summary: "Mornings at Bow Street" by J. Wight is a collection of humorous reports and anecdotes written in the late 19th century. The book presents a witty and entertaining glimpse into the daily workings of the Bow Street Magistrates' Court through the eyes of the author, who served as a reporter. The narratives provide insight into the colorful characters and absurd incidents that occur within the judicial system, portraying the charm and complexity of life among the lower classes. The opening of the book introduces readers to a variety of comical cases presented before the magistrate at Bow Street, showcasing quirky characters such as a disheveled old man found without his trousers, a master costermonger distraught over a lost dog, and a gentleman in distress after overly enthusiastic oyster consumption. Each report offers a snapshot of life and humor within the courtroom, blending factual reporting with whimsical storytelling. The anecdotes set the tone for the collection, promising an engaging exploration of human folly and societal quirks as viewed through the lens of 19th-century London.
