The strange case of Charles Random de Berenger

Now I've got time to catch breath, it's time for another picture of the midshipman's berth and there's a bit of a story to this one...

It is difficult to pinpoint what was right and what went wrong at the Cochrane trial. I guess Mr de Berenger is not my favourite person, but then I am shallow that way. ;)

Of course I remembered how important to the case the man who arrived at the door had been, and what colour of jacket he had been wearing, but I was astonished to discover he was the same man who had produced this picture. He seems to have been quite a character to say the least!! Hardly surprising that Cochrane rued the day their paths crossed.

I also found it strange that he would go reasonable scot free while TLC was sentenced to the pillory (even if that was revoked at some stage)

Yes, given the role De Berenger played in the fraud he appears to have got off rather lightly. He seems to have been a slippery character to say the least!
