	Criminal Punishment at the Old Bailey
		In making these decisions, consideration was given to the defendant's character, the nature of the offence, the strength of the evidence against him or her, and the state of crime at the time (if it was believed a crime wave was occurring, the defendant was more likely to be hanged to deter others).

		The pillory turned so that crowds on all sides could get a good view, and the crowd expressed their disapproval of the offence by pelting the offender with rotten eggs and vegetables, blood and guts from slaughterhouses, dead cats, mud and excrement, and even bricks and stones.
