To say that Phipson goes back a long way would be an understatement, the first edition being issued in 1892; therefore it was 116 years ago that Sidney L. Phipson produced what would have been a smaller volume. As one can see by looking through the previous editions, some familiar names have been associated as editors.rnWhen the first edition was published, the Criminal Evidence Act 1898 still lay in the future and an accused person could not give sworn evidence in his own defence. If we go back even further we find lawyer-free trials.
