Great video, BC. I don’t know how you are able to find these old cases and throughly research them, but thank you so much for your hard work. I look forward to each Monday for a little step back in time. 🫶

Poor Jane fell victim to a pair of sadists. Thank you, BC. Enjoy your week.

It's a great shame that there weren't mechanisms to help servants _before_ they were killed. This is the second case you've told about a sadistic mother and daughter combo beating a young servant to death. And I have to wonder how many servants were sent to their deaths without anyone doing anything about it.

How refreshing that reguardless of this lady and her daughter’s status they were held accountable..

Hello BC, another great case. Poor little thing, they obviously thought no-one would bother about a little poor girl. But Elizabeth and Betty got their just desserts. I would think it was very unusual for a woman of some wealth to be found guilty, but sense prevailed. Poor little Jane, a nobody in her lifetime, but thanks to you she has not been forgotten. RIP Jane.❤

Wow. It’s surprising that wealthy people were punished for killing a servant.

Like mother like daughter in this situation

Liked, the crowd was not interested in sermons, only that mother & daughter were dispatched. Horrific how the wealthy treated their servants with contempt worse than the workhouses !! What could a child maid of only 13 do to deserve such a fate? 💔

Times were so different back then. I know that's a dumb thing to say, but wow. I can't get enough of these 'ancient' stories. Well done Mr. Brief Case.

It's always good when the murderers meet their end. It drives me crazy when they say that they died in their 70s. Thank you for another wonderful story.

The artwork in this video is stunning and captivating.

Mommie and daughter dearest! The horrific lives serfs and servants lived in the past. RIP poor souls.

My heart breaks, she was just a girl trying to make a living. If being a servant/apprentice was already hard, i cannot imagine being so young and abused by these women. Thanks BC for the upload and I hope you have a great week.

Mondays suck. They suck a little bit less with fresh Victorian true crime.

Yay, Monday! A new story! This is my favorite podcast, by far. You do them oh so well! Elizabeth and Betty were nightmares. The plight of the working class was difficult at best. But with mistresses like this, it was downright unbearable. Poor Jane.

'Morning BC! Hope everyone has a good Monday.

The photos are outstanding! I love vintage crime❤

Happy Monday Brief Case and hope every MoM had a wonderful Mothers Day ❤💐🌹🌺💖🤎💜🩷💛💝Happy Monday everyone 😀

You take me to places ive never been: i revisit places I have been blessed to visit and show me remarkable works of art. If there is such an award on the level of an Oscar for KZfaq excellence, you should so be presented. Thank you. I am reminded, also, that the evils of mankind's natures is certainly universal and constant. It seeps through the tiny spaces of available openings and finds a home. So stay away from open windows. ❤❤

This is a rare treat, a case from nearly 300 years ago. Very satisfying that both women were held to account in the end, though it was too late for the multitude of poor servants they had mistreated and especially Jane. The Branches had position, wealth, property, servants. You'd think their cushy berth would have made them mellow and benevolent. Thank you Brief Case for the story and your gem of a text and narration.

Brief Case, thank you for another one of your fascinating videos. This one taking place in the 18th century. I love that you usually have cases that I haven't heard of.

You have no idea how much I look forward to your videos. You are the only channel I know of that takes us back to centuries past and you are most excellent at transporting me there.

I can't even fathom treating servants in a way that seems so commonplace back then.

Good morning, Brief Case! Happy to be here for my weekly dose of historical horror!

Thanks for another interesting video BC. I'm very surprised that they were found guilty, the rich back then usually got away with any crime.

Wow! This is the first time you've done a case that I was familiar with. Unbelievable these women got their entertainment from beating the staff. Thanks for all you do BC

Good morning BC! Hope you have a great Monday!!!! ❤️

Hi BC loved your appearance on forgotten lives

Hello Brief Case. Thank you!😊❤

Hello BC, what a unique surname she has!

Good morning Brief Case.

I'd of thought the prosecution would have called previous servants to attest to her cruelty rather than hope a jury believed a young girl's testimony.

Greetings folks and BC. Love the historical crime narrations. What a tyrannical duo.

Abuse toward servants were common back then, Poor girl..

I always get so excited when I get a notice from you❤always something I haven't heard of before ❤THANK YOU 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us! Never assume that just because someone is rich or has a good reputation is truth! The outward appearance doesn’t tell you what evil lurks in the persons heart or mind. I’m glad justice was obtained for Jane’s brutal and senseless death. Thank you BC for always giving us the best stories ever!! Blessings always to you! ❤️😊🙏

Good morning, BC 🌞 Bit of a Dickens tale! Very good, there was justice and a warning against such terrible abuse 👏

Brief Case, thank you for this account of Georgian era sadism and murder most foul in Somersetshire. Given the location, I think of The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling; same shire, set around the same time and whose 1963 film adaptation is in my ❤Top 10 Favorite Movies.

Good morning, lovies! 😘☕️

Another great story. Thank you for your time in research and dedication.

Thank you for this story. I look forward to them every Monday. 🇨🇦❤️👍

Good morning! A cup of tea and a Brief Case video are a perfect way to start Monday mornings. What a horrible pair those two were. Mother taught daughter how to be cruel. It's pretty sad really. At least they were brought to justice. It does make me wonder if she killed her husband and that other servant girl.

Thankyou for doing an older 18th C case..tthese cases interest me greatly - as they give an interesting window into how people ran their lives and how social structures determined outcomes such as this. Please - as many as y9ou can find!

LOVE your content!!!

Its Monday evening and can relax and watch BC. An excellent story thankyou love these old times stories. You bring these tales to life cant wait for next week x

Good morning Brief Case❤. I love your videos. Thank you ❤

Good afternoon BC family, ❤

Thank you Briefy! Have a great week :)

OOO! Excited. Can't beat a bit of Brief Case to settle my bloody nerves.

I absolutly love these haunting stories.

Thank you so much, you were made for doing what you do! Absolutely fascinating ❤❤❤

Thanks BC have a good week

Thanks for making my Monday more fun! Great video! Can you please do videos on older cases from 1600-1800s India, Japan, Scotland, Italy and South Korea? If they have English sources?

I was so worried that the other servant girl would end up taking the blame for this! How brave of her to speak up in court. That must have been terrifying. Such a sad tale. Thank you Briefcase for telling it so well and with such respect. Can't wait for tomorrow's upload! ❤

Servants do have rights, this trial saved others from the severe abuse meted out by this inhumane employer. Terrible even to think ! Brief but substantial as always!

I have complimented you several times before... But, again, I must say that your manner and choice of descriptive words in these video stories are absolutely superb!!! There is a gentleman who has a channel that plays videos about unusual fatalities. I find it very hard to listen to his videos as he goes so overboard with his choice of descriptive words. Plus he uses these overblown descriptive words in EVERY SENTENCE!!! (It's too much.. and I feel that it detracts from the story). But you stories and descriptive narration is PERFECT!!! Just a beautiful job putting the narration together for each video. I honestly could listen to your voice and descriptive narration all day...if I had the time!!! The way you describe things, your perfect diction and your voice are all perfect for these videos!!! All I have to do is start one of your videos and listen. In no time I am transported back in my mind to each time period and feel like I am right there at the time and place that these things happened! I absolutely love your videos!!! Thank you for making these stories so intriguing!!! As I've said before, please don't change a thing! They are perfect!!!

Yet another great account, so very well done and the illustrations really bring the times home to us viewers, thanks for this and RIP to their victims.

Happy Monday BC

Thanks for the upload, Brief Case. I have two doctor's appointments this week, so I feel like a proper older person now. Looking forward to your video.

Ive said it before..but I feel the need to say it again!! You are truly one of a kind. The stories you find are so interesting! Your voice is perfect for the narration too! Spot on as always! Another win on this one!! ❤👏👊😌 Have a fabulous week Mr. Brief Case..! Much love from Regina Saskatchewan Canada ✌️

Properly dispatched ? Yes, rabid animals fall directly into that particular category. Cheers B.C.

Poor Jane! She was just a lass. Barbaric treatment by mother and daughter to the servants. Justice was served but it’s still wretched what those poor souls endured. Making her sleep next to a corpse is beyond vile! She probably did her husband in, wouldn’t put much past the ghastly witch. Cheers for another well informed video and the photos.

Hello, and thank you for a good story!

Briefcase I always look foward to your videos every Monday. Your amazing continue with your amazing content. ❤

It’s a pity that she passed her cruelty and violence onto her daughter. At least they did not get away with it in the end. Her husband seemed like a good guy.

Gross! Anne James was forced to sleep next to Jane's corpse? 😬

Hi!!! This was a good story. What wicked woman these 2 were. Nice Video!!!...🇺🇸🦋

What a story. I'm wondering how many people she killed. I'm glad her money didn't help her and her evil daughter. Everyone stay safe. ✌️ BC, love this one.

Just having a cuppa and watching at same time BC

Thanks 4 another fantastic video 📸 now time 2 buckle up and get stuck in thanks 4 all your hard work bringing us such quality cases 😊

Still happens daily in parts of Asia, foreign domestic workers get routinely abused. The current trend is to (where I live in HK) make maids clean the external sides of windows of high-rise apartment buildings without safety gear.

Good morning BC!

lovely jubbley!!!! a real old one today, thankyou BC i love your videos

Good one!!!!’❤

🌄🌞 Good Morning' @Brief Case Another fine upload for this beautiful day here in Nova Scotia💙🤍 Always love all you do and I know in my heart if certain family members of mine were still here with us today; they would adore and love to hear all of the Hoopla, the History and Stories that you share and tell so awesomely!🥸 💚💙🖤 Thank you again 🎩🍻

Great case BC. I feel no sorrow for the executed pair.

""instilling discipline with a heavy hand from the very outset."" (DRUM SMASH!!) I felt that.

Great job again! You might want to look into our French Bluebeard Gilles de Rais who was a serial killer and who had apparently been traumatized by the awful execution of his comrade in arms, Joan of Arc.

Good afternoon BC

I love a Monday wauting on your story. I would love to know how you get all of this old information? Xx😢

You have a marvelous voice and manner for telling us these stories.

Thanks for all these fascinating stories, told with your super smooth sweet voice.

Excellent work Briefcase! I really enjoyed that one. I've worked for some terrible managers before but I can't say any of them were as bad as the Branch family! Well done on researching the case. It must be quite an effort to compile all the information together.

Quite a gruesome case - but throughout history there have always been people who have been beaten to deatth.

another great case, thank you.

This was a very good video of yours thank you for making them. I find real value in your calm and measured tone. If you could consider bringing back title cards for “Trial” and “crime” and the like I would appreciate it.

Thank you for another amazing story. The way you tell the story and describe the scenes makes me feel like I am right there❤❤❤❤❤

Morning brief case it’s coffee and your video on the run this morning 👍😁

Yessssss, I needed something to listen too while doing a bit of DIY!! ❤

That was an interesting one for sure! Can you find more from way back like that??

Thank you BC for sharing this

Always look forward to seeing a new video. Brilliant as usual.

I wish you would get in Podcast sites everywhere! Would love to listen while doing things outside etc .? ❤🎉

I couldn’t help noticing that these two women had very fine clothes,silk and lace bodices and bell-shaped sleeves and skirts. These materials would have come straight off the ships at the Bristol docks from the East. Fine feathers, but foul hearts ⚓️

Isn’t it funny how a person can act one way when dating but once married you get the sinking feeling, knowing you’ve screwed up and are stuck.

Well presented and researched once again

Found this very interesting and also very sad. Looking forward to more of your videos. Cheers.

Thank you!

Thank you again for this history.....

A Good Presentation as Usual 😉👋
