Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archives of Maryland: Judicial and Testamentary Business of the Provincial Court; 1637 1650 The Provincial Court at St. Mary's was the chief judicial body in the Province, being not only a court of first instance for all matters civil, criminal, and testamentary for the city and county of St. Mary's, but having also appellate jurisdiction over the county courts. It was com posed, during the years embraced in this volume, of the Governor as presiding judge, and one or more of the members of the Council as associate judges. In the absence of the Governor, the councillor next in commission presided. The judges were sworn to give judgment according to the laws of the Province, and were disabled from Sitting in cases in which they were personally interested. During these years the Province was so Sparsely settled, that we are justified in surmising that nearly all the judicial business was brought, in one form or another, before the Provincial Court. Unfortunately, the record is not complete, the part from February, 1644 5. To May, 1647, being lost; for which we may probably thank Ingle and his brigands. While the contents of this volume cannot have the same general interest as the records of the Assembly and Council, there is much in them worthy of attention by students of Maryland's early history and institutions, who may here note how laws and principles of law that had grown up under very different conditions were adapted without violence to the needs of the infant colony. One feature that cannot be overlooked is the singular absence Of crimes of violence. Leaving out of view the little sea-fight at Poco moke, the Offences against the person consist of two homicides and one (unproved) battery. In the case of the homicides, both the victims were Indians; and it is interesting to see how careful the court was to allow no partiality to interfere with justice, a jury who doubted whether pagans had the same standing in the court as Christians being promptly dismissed and a new trial ordered. The process against Lewis and others (p. 35) shows that offensive speeches and unreasonable disputations about religion had been for bidden by public proclamation more than eleven years before the passing of the Act concerning Religion. We find also here (p. 189) the first reference to the importation of negro slaves, and (p. 304) perhaps the first recorded purchase of negroes. Probably the solitary recorded instance of a deodand occurs on p. 10. The custom of the country, as it was called, or the outfit that a master was legally bound to give his servant at the expiration of his term of service, is here (pp. 361, 470) judicially defined.

Download or read book The Court of Appeals of Maryland written by Carroll T. Bond and published by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its origins in the seventeenth century, the Maryland Court of Appeals is one of the oldest in the United States. Located in the middle of the east coast, it was confronted with most of the key legal issues that affected the colonies and early United States. Bond's was the first history of the court from its origins around 1649 to the adoption of the state's current constitution in 1867. A valuable study, it is based almost entirely on primary sources. Bond [1873-1943] was the Chief Justice of the Court from 1924 to the end of his life.
Download or read book The English Atlantic in an Age of Revolution 1640 1661 written by Carla Gardina Pestana and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1640 and 1660, England, Scotland, and Ireland faced civil war, invasion, religious radicalism, parliamentary rule, and the restoration of the monarchy. Carla Gardina Pestana offers a sweeping history that systematically connects these cataclysmic events and the development of the infant plantations from Newfoundland to Surinam. By 1660, the English Atlantic emerged as religiously polarized, economically interconnected, socially exploitative, and ideologically anxious about its liberties. War increased both the proportion of unfree laborers and ethnic diversity in the settlements. Neglected by London, the colonies quickly developed trade networks, especially from seafaring New England, and entered the slave trade. Barbadian planters in particular moved decisively toward slavery as their premier labor system, leading the way toward its adoption elsewhere. When by the 1650s the governing authorities tried to impose their vision of an integrated empire, the colonists claimed the rights of freeborn English men, making a bid for liberties that had enormous implications for the rise in both involuntary servitude and slavery. Changes at home politicized religion in the Atlantic world and introduced witchcraft prosecutions. Pestana presents a compelling case for rethinking our assumptions about empire and colonialism and offers an invaluable look at the creation of the English Atlantic world.
Download or read book Order and Civility in the Early Modern Chesapeake written by Debra Meyers and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tise cutting-edge collection of essays in this volume represent the vast array of experiences in the Chesapeake region, encompassing the racial, class, ethnic, and gender diversity that characterized life in early Maryland and Virginia. Order and Civility in the Early Modern Chesapeake makes a significant contribution to the growing interest in the Chesapeake as an accurate indication of the English customs, rituals, and beliefs men and women brought to the New World. Ultimately, this study suggests that the multicultural Chesapeake created significant cultural, intellectual, and social norms that have shaped the diverse world of the American people.
