Refusing to accept the loss of her son, Sir Roger Charles Doughty Tichborne, Lady Tichborne made enquiries across the globe for his whereabouts. In 1865 she received a letter from a Sydney solicitor advising that her long lost son was acutally working as a butcher in Wagga Wagga. The Tichborne claimant is one of the most famous and audacious of all criminal cases; this work provides a history of the case as well as the judge’s verdict.
