Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Doctors' Commons and the Old Court of Admiralty: A Short History of the Civilians in England When a Doctor of Law, duly armed with the rescript of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Vicar-general, sought admission to the College of Advocates at Doctors' Commons, his ceremonial introduction took place first in the Court of Arches before the Dean, and only afterwards in the Court of Admiralty before the Judge - assuming, as was not always the case, that the two offices were filled by different persons. In the following pages the precedence thus formally given to the ecclesiastical side of Doctors' Commons has been purposely disregarded. In the first place, the part played by the doctors in foreign affairs, and in the development of maritime law, a field in which the Civilians for a long time showed the common law the way, seems a topic of wider interest than anything they did as Canonists: and secondly, the consideration of the position of the Canon lawyer as to jus commune ecclesiasticum after the Reformation leads straight to the still troubled waters of the controversy whether the Church in England before that period was a national church or only two provinces of the super-national Catholic one. For these reasons, and because the story of a bygone profession needs but a little book, I have dwelt mainly upon the work of the doctors in the maritime courts and in the diplomatic service of the State.

Download or read book The Admiralty Sessions 1536 1834 written by Gregory J. Durston and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth in England and Britain’s merchant marine from the medieval period onwards meant that an increasing number of criminal offences were committed on or against the country’s vessels while they were at sea. Between 1536 and 1834, such crimes were determined at the Admiralty Sessions if brought to trial. This was a special part of the wider Admiralty Court, which, unlike the other forums in that tribunal, used English common law procedure rather than Roman civil law to try its cases. To a modest extent, this produced a ‘hybrid’ court, dominated by the common law but influenced by aspects of Europe’s other major legal tradition. The Admiralty Sessions also had their own (highly singular) regime for executing convicts, used the Marshalsea prison to hold their suspects and displayed the Admiralty Court’s ceremonial silver oar at their hearings and hangings. During the near three centuries of its existence, the Admiralty Sessions faced enormous legal and logistical problems. The crimes they tried might occur thousands of miles and months of sailing time away from England. Assembling evidence that would ‘stand up’ in front of a jury was a constant challenge, not least because of the peripatetic lives of the seafarers who provided most of their witnesses. The forum’s relationship with terrestrial criminal courts in England was often difficult and the demarcation between their respective jurisdictions was complicated and subject to change. Despite all of these problems, the court experienced significant successes, as well as notable failures, in its battle to deal with a litany of serious maritime crimes, ranging from piracy to murder at sea. It also spawned a series of Vice-Admiralty Courts in English and British colonies around the world. This book documents the origins, development and abolition of the Admiralty Sessions. It discusses all of the major crimes that were determined by the forum, and examines some of the more arcane and unusual offences that ended up there. Some of the unusual challenges presented by the maritime environment, whether the impossibility of preserving dead bodies at sea, the extensive power given to captains to physically punish sailors, the difficulty of securing suspects in small vessels, or the often gruesome problems occasioned by the marginal legal status of slaves, are also considered in detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beginning as a club for clerical lawyers and their friends, the society colloquially known as Doctors' Commons developed into the equivalent of an Inn of Court for the lay judges and advocates of the ecclesiastical and admiralty courts. Based on the society's surviving records, this work traces its history to its dissolution in the nineteenth. It throws light on the emergence of the legal profession and its concentration in London. ... An appendix contains a complete register of members of Doctors' Commons, among whom can be found the names of Thomas More, Grocyn, Colet, and Polydore Virgil"--Jacket.
