Black cap[edit]

Henry Callow did not wear a black cap. That was never part of Manx judicial tradition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.137.24.38 (talk) 12:54, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Untrue - newspaper reports from the 1890s explicitly mention deemsters donning black caps. However, it was also particularly remarked upon that Henry Callow chose not to when passing sentance in this specific case. 132.185.161.98 (talk) 11:31, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Between 1973 and 1992[edit]

Over at John Kewish#Aftermath it states, "Five people were sentenced to death (for murder) on the island between 1973 and 1992 ...". Who and, more interestingly, when? (In this article it just states, "Many people were sentenced to death (for murder and various other crimes) on the Isle of Man between 1873 and 1992." This is a much less interesting statement. Some dates and detail would be really interesting.) Many thanks, HairyWombat 07:12, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
