'History may have known greater villains than Arthur Orton, but certainly none can have been fatter than the twenty-six stone butcher from Wagga who claimed to be the rightful heir to the Tichborne title and fortunes. Nor have there been many scoundrels so expensive. To refute his claims cost the Tichbourne estates 100,000 pounds, while his trial as a perjurer ran the British Treasury into legal costs amounting to nearly half a million.' (p. 13)
