Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a detailed study of Australia's earliest civil court records - a million handwritten words about daily life and trade - Debt, Seduction and Other Disasters covers the turbulent years in the penal colony. This was a period when starvation was barely averted, emancipated convicts contended with one another to become wealthy through trade, and Aborigines fought for their land. Soldiers and governors struggled for power, culminating in the overthrow of Governor Bligh, the only military coup on Australian soil. In this important and entertaining book, Kercher: shows the remarkable egalitarianism of life in the colony, even for serving convicts and married women discusses the invention and legal consequences of tickets of leave and the central role of law in creating the local version of freedom reveals details of daily social and economic life unavailable elsewhere: the seduction cases and sexual scandals; details of the wheat farm at Woolloomooloo; the problems of the grain growers at the Hawkesbury provides unique information about working conditions of: convicts the seal killers in New Zealand and Macquarie Island sailors the very few Aborigines who worked alongside Europeans details:the first case in Australia in which an Aborigine sued (he lost) the first recorded sale of a wife (at Windsor in 1811; sale void) the case in which Mary Reibey was alleged to have blown up the bakery next door (she won) the sharp practices of Tommy the Banker, Dick the Needle and the petty bankers who deliberately wrote their documents in fading ink describes the lives of the convict women who lived with officers but were abandoned explodes the myth that rum was a major currency and explains the use of alternative currencies, such as wheat, and establishes the crucial role of pigs in town life.

Download or read book Re Interpreting Blackstone s Commentaries written by Wilfrid Prest and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection explores the remarkable impact and continuing influence of William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, from the work's original publication in the 1760s down to the present. Contributions by cultural and literary scholars, and intellectual and legal historians trace the manner in which this truly seminal text has established its authority well beyond the author's native shores or his own limited lifespan. In the first section, 'Words and Visions', Kathryn Temple, Simon Stern, Cristina S Martinez and Michael Meehan discuss the Commentaries' aesthetic and literary qualities as factors contributing to the work's unique status in Anglo-American legal culture. The second group of essays traces the nature and dimensions of Blackstone's impact in various jurisdictions outside England, namely Quebec (Michel Morin), Louisiana and the United States more generally (John W Cairns and Stephen M Sheppard), North Carolina (John V Orth) and Australasia (Wilfrid Prest). Finally Horst Dippel, Paul Halliday and Ruth Paley examine aspects of Blackstone's influential constitutional and political ideas, while Jessie Allen concludes the volume with a personal account of 'Reading Blackstone in the Twenty-First Century and the Twenty-First Century through Blackstone'. This volume is a sequel to the well-received collection Blackstone and his Commentaries: Biography, Law, History (Hart Publishing, 2009).
Download or read book Essays in the History of Canadian Law written by George Blaine Baker and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2013-12-06 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume deal with the legal history of the Province of Quebec, Upper and Lower Canada, and the Province of Canada between the British conquest of 1759 and confederation of the British North America colonies in 1867. The backbone of the modern Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec, this geographic area was unified politically for more than half of the period under consideration. As such, four of the papers are set in the geographic cradle of modern Quebec, four treat nineteenth-century Ontario, and the remaining four deal with the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes watershed as a whole. The authors come from disciplines as diverse as history, socio-legal studies, women’s studies, and law. The majority make substantial use of second-language sources in their essays, which shade into intellectual history, social and family history, regulatory history, and political history.

This book reports the earliest court decisions in Australia. It includes transcriptions of and extensive commentary on many of the case records of the New South Wales superior courts during the colony's first forty years, 1788-1827. These were years of famine, of battles with indigenous people, of convict rebellions, of the beginnings of bushranging and even of the only military coup in Australian history. Law was at the centre of all of this. Trade developed rapidly and with it a locally developed commercial law. Through these cases, we can see the slow development from law in the tents to law in the court room, from amateur to professional law.Amongst notable cases reported are:R v Barsby. The first English trial held on Australian soil. On 6 February 1788, the women of the First Fleet landed at Sydney Cove and Samuel Barsby celebrated too long and too hard. Two days later his drunken assault led to a sentence of 150 lashes.Cable v Sinclair. The first civil action. Two convicts successfully sue for loss of their baggage during the voyage to Sydney and Judge Advocate Collins ignores the English common law rule of felony attaint. The uneasy relationship between Australian and English common law begins.Boston v Laycock. Was New South Wales merely a prison, controlled by the military? Or was it a place of law, in which everyone, soldiers included, was subject to the same basic law?R v Macarthur. The critical trigger for the coup against Bligh on 26 January 1808.R v Mow-watty and Bioorah. The first Aborigine in the colony to be tried by a superior court and the first to be convicted and executed.Henry v. Eagar; Eagar v Henry. A spectacular case concerned trade between a former convict, Edward Eagar, and King Pomare of Tahiti. The missionaries and Rev Samuel Marsden get involved and it goes all the way to the Privy Council.R v Magistrates of Sydney. Should magistrates in Quarter Sessions sit with juries? The case has been described as "the first major constitutional case in Australian history".
