Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Felonry of New South Wales" is the work of eighteenth century Scottish-born free settler of Australia, James Mudie. After a string of bad experiences in England, including dismissal from the military, Mudie was given the opportunity for a new life when Scottish nobleman, Sir Charles Forbes offered him and his four children free passage to New South Wales, Australia. There he grew to become a successful land owner and was appointed a Justice of the peace. This appointment, however, proved to be quite controversial as he gained a reputation for being particularly severe in his judgments, and flogging criminals and convicts excessively, even for minor offences. His dismissal from the post as a result of this, and its subsequent events are thus the subject of this book in which he seeks to justify his methods.

Download or read book A History of Criminal Law in New South Wales written by Gregory D. Woods and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New South Wales is that rare political creation, a state founded for and upon the criminal law. The history of its criminal law from settlement to Federation is uniquely fascinating. Drawing on his range of experience as a university scholar, a criminal law QC and a judge, the author explains how Britain's criminal laws were established and developed in its (arguably) most successful colony. There are three themes:the horror and savagery of the criminal law transported to Australia and imposed there;the constitutional importance of basic criminal law rules requiring certainty of proof;the corrupt but necessary role of mercy in the administration of the law.There are several genuinely remarkable features of this book. One is that the author draws upon a vast body of material recently brought to light by Bruce Kercher in his massive disinterment of early colonial case law, to explain in detail the actual working of the New South Wales criminal courts.Another is that the core of the book is an analysis of New South Wales parliamentary debates between 1871 and 1883 on criminal law, illuminating the history of the law (and its future). Yet the most remarkable thing of all about this book is its rarity. In the many places where the British Empire imposed its laws, there are hundreds of universities and centres of legal study.Histories of the criminal law, or studies which can be so described, are rare or invisible. This admirable study will become a classic in its field, required reading by legal scholars, historians of colony and empire, and by astute legal practitioners making arguments for contemporary submissions or judgments.The second volume (Woods, 2018) continues the still-fascinating story from 1901 (when the colony became a state) through until mid-20th century, when the death penalty was effectively abolished.

Download or read book Report on the Judicial Establishments of New South Wales written by John Thomas Bigge and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Report on the Judicial Establishments of New South Wales" is the second report by English judge and royal commissioner John Thomas Bigge on the situation in the colonies. His inquiry started as several wealthy landowners, mainly John Macarthur, complained about the governorship of Lachlan Macquarie. The latter was famous for his policies of remediating ex-convicts back into society, creating a lack of a cheap and free workforce for the landowners. In this report, Bigge focused upon a defamation action launched by Samuel Marsden to argue against the appointment of emancipated convicts to positions of magistrates and jurors. Bigge thought these policies promoting emancipists by Macquarie were "inexpedient and dangerous."
