Suits for criminal conversation reached their height in late 18th- and early 19th-century England, where large sums, often between £10,000 and £20,000 (worth upwards of £1–2 million in today's terms),[2] could be demanded by the plaintiff for the debauching of his wife. These suits were conducted at the Court of the King's Bench in Westminster Hall,[citation needed] and were highly publicised by publishers such as Edmund Curll and in the newspapers of the day.[3] Although neither the plaintiff, defendant, nor the wife accused of the adultery was permitted to take the stand,[citation needed] evidence of the adulterous behaviour was presented by servants or observers.
