В "Очерках Боза" Диккенс описывает подсудимого в уголовном суде Олд Бейли:
Mark how restlessly he has been engaged for the last ten minutes, in forming all sorts of fantastic figures with the herbs which are strewed upon the ledge before him... и далее: you can almost hear the man’s heart beat, as he bites the stalk of rosemary, with a desperate effort to appear composed.
Отчего это перед ним разбросаны ароматические травы, включая розмарин?

With the courtroom now enclosed, the danger of infection increased, and at one sessions in 1750 an outbreak of gaol fever (typhus) led to the deaths of sixty people, including the Lord Mayor and two judges. Subsequently, the judges spread nosegays and aromatic herbs to keep down the stench and prevent infection, a practice commemorated in a ceremony which continues to this day.
