- George Ernest Thompson Edalji was a solicitor from the West Midlands who gained notability for being defended in a case of horse slashing by the author Arthur Conan Doyle. Edalji was the eldest of three children of Shapurji Edalji and Charlotte Stoneham. His father was of Indian descent, and his mother Scottish. Edalji became a solicitor in Birmingham, England, during the early 1900s. He proved to be an outstanding student during law school, and won prizes from the Law Society. He wrote the book Railway Law for the "Man in the train", which was "intended as a guide for the Travelling Public". He was wrongly convicted of the 'Great Wyrley Outrages', but cleared as the result of an investigation by Arthur Conan Doyle. His wrongful conviction led to the creation of England's Court of Criminal Appeal in 1907. Nonetheless, despite the Home Office's conclusion that Edalji was innocent of slashing animals, the Home Office stood by the idea that Edalji was responsible for sending menacing letters in Staffordshire, including to his own family. Long after the incident had faded from public memory, a fifty-seven year old laborer named Enoch Knowles confessed to having sent the obscene letters over a thirty-year period. Julian Barnes' 2005 novel Arthur & George recounts the entire episode in great detail, as does the non-fiction work Conan Doyle and the Parson's Son: The George Edalji Case. Edalji died at 9 Brocket Close, Welwyn Garden City, on June 17, 1953 from coronary thrombosis.
- George Ernest Thompson Edalji war ein Solicitor aus den englischen West Midlands, der 1906 als Opfer eines britischen Justizirrtums und durch den Einsatz des Schriftstellers Arthur Conan Doyle für seine Sache europaweit bekannt wurde. George Edalji wurde 1903 beschuldigt, ein Pferd verstümmelt und lebensgefährlich verletzt zu haben. Er wurde zunächst schuldig gesprochen und saß drei Jahre lang im Zuchthaus. Erst nachdem Conan Doyle sich für ihn eingesetzt und selbst Untersuchungen zu seinem Fall durchgeführt hatte, wurde das Urteil aufgehoben.
