Summary "About the case of George Edalji was wrongly convicted of wounding a pony in 1903, the eighth of a series of animal outrages in Great Wyrley in 1903. Although he was a suspect in previous outrages he hadn't left his house that had been under surveillance the entire night of the incident. Several witnesses testified at this trial that they had been with him at his house the night of the incident. After a public campaign Edalji was released after 3 years on the grounds his sentence had been too harsh. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle investigated the case and campaigned on behalf of Edalji's innocence. No one was ever charged with the other outrages. George Edalji was granted a pardon when the Home Secretary accepted the main findings of a Committee of Enquiry. He was however given no compensation because it was alleged that he had written anonymous letters  incriminating himself, though no court ever declared him guilty of this."
