James Townsend Saward, Criminal Barrister
Described as a 'real-life' Professor Moriarty, James Townsend Saward, a respectable barrister of the Inner Temple, was unmasked in 1857 as the criminal mastermind known in the underworld of Victorian London as Jim the Penman. He was sentenced to transportation for life. For thirty years Saward led a double life as the head of a cheque forgery ring, a fence of stolen goods and as a planner of robberies. James Townsend Saward, Criminal Barrister: The True Story of Jim the Penman relates his life of crime as a notorious cheque forger and his involvement in other crimes, including one of the largest bank robberies of the 1840s and the great train robbery of 1855. The book also examines Saward's influence on Victorian literature, from Dickens's Great Expectations to penny dreadfuls and the popular play Jim the Penman. Saward's family and his connections to Victorian and Edwardian theatre are also discussed.
