Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Justice" by John Galsworthy is a play written in 1910. William Falder, a young clerk, alters a cheque to help his sweetheart Ruth escape her brutal husband. Convicted of forgery, he receives three years in prison. The harsh sentence destroys him, and upon release, he faces an impossible choice between employment and the woman he loves. Part of a campaign to reform British prison conditions, the play examines how the legal system can crush those it means to correct.
