English criminal courts system 1848-1907
The Court for Crown Cases Reserved was an English appellate court for criminal cases established in 1848[1] to hear references from the trial judge. It did not allow a retrial, only judgment on a point of law. Neither did it create a right of appeal and only a few selected cases were heard every year.[2]
It was superseded by the Court of Criminal Appeal in 1907.[3]
