Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report of Some Proceedings on the Commission of Oyer and Terminer and Goal Delivery: For the Trial of the Rebels in the Year 1746 in the County of Surry, and of Other Crown Cases I now submit to Publick Censure a Report of a few Crown Cases which for the most Part have fallen within my own Observation, and in which I have taken some Share. What other Notes I have taken meerly for my own Use, are too crude and imperfect to admit of a Publication; and as I have neither Leisure nor Inclination to revise them, They will never see the Light. I have in this Report taken a larger Scope, and entered more fully into the State of many of the Cases and the Reasoning on them, than most of my Cotemporaries have done; and this hath drawn Me into a greater Length than They have allowed to themselves. Brevity I have endeavoured to consult as far as my Subject will admit of it. But the Affectation of Brevity at the Expence of Perspicuity can answer no valuable Purpose. Learned Men who have employed their Time in transmitting to Posterity with Accuracy, Precision and true Judgment an History of Cases of Weight and Difficulty falling within their own Experience, have been real Benefactors to the Publick; and their Memory is and ever will be treated with due Esteem.

Download or read book Entick v Carrington written by Adam Tomkins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entick v Carrington is one of the canons of English public law and in 2015 it is 250 years old. In 1762 the Earl of Halifax, one of His Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, despatched Nathan Carrington and three other of the King's messengers to John Entick's house in Stepney. They broke into his house, seizing his papers and causing significant damage. Why? Because he was said to have written seditious papers published in the Monitor. Entick sued Carrington and the other messengers for trespass. The defendants argued that the Earl of Halifax had given them legal authority to act as they had. Lord Camden ruled firmly in Entick's favour, holding that the warrant of a Secretary of State could not render lawful actions such as these which were otherwise unlawful. The case is a canonical statement of the common law's commitment to the constitutional principle of the rule of law. In this collection, leading public lawyers reflect on the history of the case, the enduring importance of the legal principles for which it stands, and the broader implications of Entick v Carrington 250 years on.

Download or read book Whores and Highwaymen written by Gregory J. Durston and published by Waterside Press. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The whores and highwaymen of Gregory Durstons title are just some of the dubious characters met within this absorbing work, including thief-takers, trading justices, an upstart legal profession whose lower orders developed various ways to line their own pockets and magistrates and clerks who often preferred dealing with those cases which attracted fees. The book shows how little was planned by government or the authorities, and how much sprang up due to the efforts of individualsso that the origins of social control, particularly at a local level, had much to do with personal ideas of morality, class boundaries and perceived threats, serious and otherwise. Based on news reports, Old Bailey and local archives, and other solid records the book weaves a compelling picture of a critical time in English history, through the voices of contemporary observers as well as the best of writings by experts ever since. At its broadest point, the book spans the period from the Glorious Revolution to the early 1820s. It falls into three parts: Crime and the Metropolisincluding Metropolitan crime, attitudes to crime and policing, explanations for crime, and criminal law and procedure. Policingincluding policing the metropolis, constables, the watch, beadles, the role of the military, and the detection of crime. Justiceincluding the magistracy and its work, ways of prosecution, trial in the lower and higher courts, and the penal regimes of the day. A colourful account, which captures the essence of the period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened to the culture of common law and English barristers in the long eighteenth century? In this wide-ranging sequel to Gentlemen and Barristers: The Inns of Court and the English Bar, 1680-1730, David Lemmings not only anatomizes the barristers and their world; he also explores the popular reputation and self-image of the law and lawyers in the context of declining popular participation in litigation, increased parliamentary legislation, and the growth of theimperial state. He shows how the bar survived and prospered in a century of low recruitment and declining work, but failed to fulfil the expectations of an age of Enlightenment and Reform. By contrast with the important role played by the common law, and lawyers, in seventeenth-century England and in colonialAmerica, it appears that the culture and services of the barristers became marginalized as the courts concentrated on elite clients, and parliament became the primary point of contact between government and population. In his conclusion the author suggests that the failure of the bar and the judiciary to follow Blackstones mid-century recommendations for reforming legal culture and delivering the Englishmans birthrights significantly assisted the growth of parliamentary absolutism ingovernment.

Download or read book Killing in Self Defence written by Fiona Leverick and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-12-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive analysis of the criminal defence of self-defence from a philosophical, legal and human rights perspective. The primary focus is on self-defence as a defence to homicide, as this is the most difficult type of self-defensive force to justify. Although not always recognised as such, self-defence is a contentious defence, permitting as it does the victim of an attack to preserve her life at the expense of another. If one holds that all human life is of equal value, explaining why this is permissible poses something of a challenge. It is particularly difficult to explain where the aggressor is, for reasons of non-age or insanity for example, not responsible for her actions. The first part of the book is devoted to identifying the proper theoretical basis of a claim of self-defence. It examines the classification of defences, and the concepts of justification and excuse in particular, and locates self-defence within this classification. It considers the relationship between self-defence and the closely related defences of duress and necessity. It then proceeds critically to analyse various philosophical explanations of why self-defensive killing is justified, before concluding that the most convincing account is one that draws on the right to life with an accompanying theory of forfeiture. The book then proceeds to draw upon this analysis to examine various aspects of the law of self-defence. There is detailed analysis of the way in which, on a human rights approach, it is appropriate to treat the issues of retreat, imminence of harm, self-generated self-defence, mistake and proportionality, with a particular focus on whether lethal force is ever permissible in protecting property or in preventing rape. The analysis draws on material from all of the major common law jurisdictions. The book concludes with an examination of the implications that the European Convention on Human Rights might have for the law of self-defence, especially in the areas of mistaken belief and the degree of force permissible to protect property.
