This is not a sample of all who came from the Surface to the Neath. The indescribably wealthy would never be found here, nor the more cunning crook. But perhaps that is one example, not two.
Game Instructions: This will give Incisive Observations and Inklings of Identity.
Success
Mid-tier criminals, mid-tier litigants
Despite the Magistracy's claims of importance […], there is a definite sense of second-rate to the cases that pass through here. The lawyers are mostly the very young […] or the elderly […]
As for those who appear before the courts, well: [second passage]Description summary:
Apparently, the Magistracy is where the elderly or rookie lawyers are sent to, so that they can handle cases of seemingly low import to the powers-that-be in London - or the cases are just too bizarre for the city-proper.

 Airs | Second passage |
|---|---|
| 1 - 14 | that defendant is a member of minor nobility, here for a slander case. But she is very minor, and there are rumours that someone else has had to pay her legal fees. |
| 15 - 29 | that litigant has gone so far as to declare he seeks always to have his cases handled by the Magistracy, as its distance from London means the defendant is less likely to turn up[…] He's been losing cases […] since the courts heard that this was the reason […] |
| 30 - 44 | that defendant was dragged here by a team of crack Evenlode detectives. […] the court will have its work cut out prosecuting her – she was caught so far from London that it would be reasonable to argue that she was no longer under English jurisdiction. […] |
| 45 - 59 | that defendant is barely out of her urchin-hood! You can prosecute a child, but what's the point? Sending a child to prison only entrenches the mischief in their nature. |
| 60 - 74 | that couple have made a hobby of taking each other to court. They come from a London suburb where, apparently, there's nothing better to do. At some point, the judges will tire of it, but till then... they keep paying their […] fees, having their day. |
| 75 - 87 | some are embroiled in cases too... strange for the London courts. Not that they or the Evenlode courts would admit it. Instead, these […] cases are allocated to the Evenlode on grounds of 'experience', without denoting what this experience might be. |
| 88 - 100 | this gang of seven have committed crimes together, done time together, and – once more – are being tried together. The court never reveals why it grants them this leniency; rumours suggest it is at […] personal request of the Manager of the Royal Beth |
