`They told me you had been to her,
And mentioned me to him:
She gave me a good character,
But said I could not swim.
He sent them word I had not gone
(We know it to be true):
If she should push the matter on,
What would become of you?
I gave her one, they gave him two,
You gave us three or more;
They all returned from him to you,
Though they were mine before.
If I or she should chance to be
Involved in this affair,
He trusts to you to set them free,
Exactly as we were.
My notion was that you had been
(Before she had this fit)
An obstacle that came between
Him, and ourselves, and it.
Don't let him know she liked them best,
For this must ever be
A secret, kept from all the rest,
Between yourself and me.'
The poem presented as evidence at the trial of the Knave of Hearts in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is called "The Queen of Hearts." It describes the actions of the Queen of Hearts and the Knave stealing tarts, which was the crime the Knave was accused of committing.
In the final chapters of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, the Knave of Hearts is tried on the accusation of stealing some tarts made by the Queen of Hearts. The story ends before his trial is completed, but I think it fair to say that the case presented against him is quite weak. The knave of Heart stole the Queens tarts: "The Queen of Heart, she made some tarts, All on a summers day: The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away!"
The thief in the Queen of Hearts kitchen was the Knave (Jack) of Hearts, as depicted in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." The Knave was accused of stealing the Queen's tarts and put on trial for the crime.
The thief stole the Queen of Hearts' tarts in the nursery rhyme "The Queen of Hearts." The Queen got angry and ordered the Knave of Hearts to bring them back, leading to a trial where the Knave was accused of stealing. The rhyme ends with the Knave being pardoned by the King and Queen.
It is a piece of physical evidence presented at trial.
In the original book it isn't explained why Alice has to attend the trial of the Knave of Hearts, the Gryphon just takes her there. In Disney's 1951 animation, she is the one on trial. She is accused of tripping the Queen of Hearts during the croquet game.
Tucker was brought to trial because he was accused of committing a crime and there was enough evidence to warrant a trial to determine his guilt or innocence. The trial is a legal process where evidence is presented and a verdict is reached by a judge or jury.
Impartial
The Queen of Hearts' tarts were important in the nursery rhyme "The Queen of Hearts," because they were stolen by the Knave of Hearts, leading to a trial and eventual sentencing. The tarts symbolize the Queen's power and authority, and the theft challenges her status, setting off a series of events in the rhyme.
A trial cannot be dismissed. A case can be dismissed before it goes to trial. A judge can allow testimony if it is within the bounds of admissible evidence, regardless of whether or not that evidence was presented at a prior hearing or trial.
If your trial has no jury, then you or your counsel has chosen a "bench trial" whereby the judge will hear the case and render a decision. The evidence is used exactly as if a jury is present, only it, and the entire case, will be presented to the judge instead.

A description that a prosecutor might use when speaking to law enforcement about the quality of the evidence they have presented him with to use at trial. More often used by a defense attorney when trying to cast doubt in the juror's minds about the evidence being presented against their client.
