Come back to this lady in a year, and may her future and yours justify us in the judgment which we have pronounced this night.” So long as the law does not find some other victim you are safe from me. Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty?” Now, gentleman of the jury, you have heard the evidence. Watson, you are a British jury, and I never met a man who was more eminently fitted to represent one.

And that’s quite a trick on Doyle’s part. It’s a golden move by a detective – you’re acting with supreme kindness but also rebellion against the system. He decides that the guilty party is not morally responsible and offers freedom. The end of “Abbey Grange” finds him acting as a one-man (well, Watson does contribute his opinion as well) courtroom. And quite often, as we see in “Abbey Grange,” he doesn’t even feel compelled to report the results of his detective work to them. He has no need for the police force’s help. One of the enduring qualities of Sherlock Holmes is his existence on the margins of society.
