The allure of the highway man has been such that since the tales of Dick Turpin were eulogised by the English Historical novelist William Harrison Ainsworth in the 1834 gothic novel Rookwood, the public has been entranced by the dark side of 18^th Century Britain’s justice system and the inverse of the heroic story attributed to those who otherwise would have garnered the nation’s affections.
