Something Wrong with the Mechanism Finish:Stretched A crowd is enjoying the'Something Wrong with the Mechanism', 1883. Mr George Lewis is shown attempting to prod the Public Prosecutor into action. This office was a relatively new one, having been established in 1879 to arrange the swift and coordinated prosecution of serious criminal cases.
