  • The Magistrate •fl and Humorous Magistrates •fl In
    Early Theatre 14.2 (2011) Louis A. Knafla The Magistrate — and Humorous Magistrates — in Early Seventeenth-Century England As we have seen, The Humorous Magistrate features — in the representation of Justice Thrifty and his professional activities — a characterization of the legal system and its officials during the personal rule of Charles I. Among the play’s themes are some generally held concerns about legal process: judi- cial corruption and the failure of the central state to govern rural localities according to customary traditions. These issues engage what historians have called the contest between ‘court and country’, the reforming zeal that evan- gelical Anglicans and Puritans brought to the reform of the law, and the enmity that Charles I and his privy council had engendered in their (by the standards of the reformers) arbitrary rule during the 1630s. It has been established that the play was written by John Newdigate III (1600–42),1 a prominent gentleman and lawyer of the West Midlands. Newdigate was the eldest son of Sir John and Anne Newdigate (née Fitton), a prominent Warwickshire family allied with several quasi-Puritan or reform- minded gentry families such as the Burdetts, Egertons, Holcrofts, Leighs, Greasleys, and Hastings, whose members included prominent lawyers and JPs who were allied in sentiment to the law reformers of the age. While John Newdigate attended Gray’s Inn and the Inner Temple, and was later involved in considerable litigation, there is no evidence that he studied for the bar. He was elected sheriff of Warwickshire in 1625, as member of parliament in 1628, and was on the commission of the peace from 1630, though there is no evidence that he was an active magistrate.

  • Sir James Whitelocke, Chief Justice of Chester 1620-1624
    SIR JAMES WHITELOCKE, CHIEF JUSTICE OF CHESTER 1620-1624 Damian X, Powell Upon his appointment as chief justice of Chester on 29 October 1620, the newly knighted Sir James Whitelocke observed that 'the whole course of life of a professor of the law is devided into three passages' his 'time of study', his 'time of practise' ('the fruit of his studye'), and his time of service to his countrye, and that is the discharge of his civill dutye to the commonwealthe in sutche place as he shall be called unto. So he begins philosophus in getting knoledge, goethe on oeconomus in getting meanes of livelihood, ends politicus in serving his countrye.' Whitelocke's own life is best known for his vocal opposition to impositions in the 1610 parliament, a stance which may have contributed to his imprisonment in 1613 for further challenges to Crown interests over the Earl Marshal's court and a 1609 royal commission into the navy.2 Pragmatically offering to avoid Liber Famelicus of Sir James Whitelocke, a Judge of the Court of King's Bench in the reigns of James I and Charles I, ed.

  • Law, Language and the Printing Press in the Reign of Charles I
    Law, Language and the Printing Press in the Reign of Charles I: Explaining the Printing of the Common Law in English Ian Williams The common law became more accessible to non-specialists during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As Richard Ross observes, “[a]n Englishman not privy to the manuscripts and oral traditions of the London-based legal professional would have had an easier time in 1640 than in 1550 learning about the procedure and duties of the royal courts, the boundaries of political and property rights, and the lineaments of the constitution”.1 Existing scholarship has rightly identified the general shift towards the printing of the law in English.2 However, it has not identified an important change during Charles I’s reign, Associate Professor, Faculty of Laws, University College London. My thanks to audiences at the American Society for Legal History conference in Toronto, the Cambridge Centre for Legal History and the Oxford Legal History Seminar for their comments on earlier drafts. Contractions in primary sources have been silently expanded. Original spelling has been retained. 1 Richard J.

  • Legal History in Australia
    JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 115 SESS: 1 OUTPUT: Fri Dec 10 10:28:41 2010 /journals/journal/abr/vol34pt1/part_1 Legal history in Australia: The development of Australian legal/historical scholarship Professor Horst Lu¨cke* Australian concern with legal history began in earnest in the 1920s. At first scholars focused almost exclusively upon English legal history, understandably so, for English common law was in force in the country and Australian courts followed the decisions of the House of Lords in preference to their own precedents. With few exceptions, early enthusiasts who focused on purely Australian developments failed to find book publishers. Worse still, law faculties occasionally certified that their efforts had not contributed meaningfully to the science of law. In the 1960s Australian scholars began to see this concentration on English legal history as a regrettable neglect of the Australian story. The ensuing burst of creative activity was marked by attention being focused almost solely upon Australian developments. Although the importance of Australia’s English legal heritage has since been recognised as inseparable from the local story, interest in local legal history has not waned and has, in fact, been greatly strengthened by the growing involvement of the judiciary and the legal profession, particularly in New South Wales and Queensland. This movement is likely to grow and spread and will, it is hoped, cause Australian law to become an important part of the national ethos. Since the 1990s, historically oriented comparative research and teaching concerning links with Commonwealth countries and with the wider world have gained in importance, and the Law and History movement has promoted interdisciplinary studies.

Of its authenticity there can be no doubt. The * handwriting and the minute family details it discloses, are each alone sufficient to prove that it is a genuine return. Of its usefulness or interest to modern readers, there may well be more than one opinion. As to its genealogical importance there can be no doubt, but there are many, and that not among the entirely uninstructed classes only, who look upon such knowledge, when it does not relate to persons whose names figure in the peerage, or what they are pleased to call the of as well worthless History England, nigh ; with' such people it would show great want of humility to argue.

  • The Magistrate — and Humorous Magistrates — in Early Seventeenth-Century England
    Early Theatre 14.2 (2011) Louis A. Knafla The Magistrate — and Humorous Magistrates — in Early Seventeenth-Century England As we have seen, The Humorous Magistrate features — in the representation of Justice Thrifty and his professional activities — a characterization of the legal system and its officials during the personal rule of Charles I. Among the play’s themes are some generally held concerns about legal process: judi- cial corruption and the failure of the central state to govern rural localities according to customary traditions. These issues engage what historians have called the contest between ‘court and country’, the reforming zeal that evan- gelical Anglicans and Puritans brought to the reform of the law, and the enmity that Charles I and his privy council had engendered in their (by the standards of the reformers) arbitrary rule during the 1630s. It has been established that the play was written by John Newdigate III (1600–42),1 a prominent gentleman and lawyer of the West Midlands. Newdigate was the eldest son of Sir John and Anne Newdigate (née Fitton), a prominent Warwickshire family allied with several quasi-Puritan or reform- minded gentry families such as the Burdetts, Egertons, Holcrofts, Leighs, Greasleys, and Hastings, whose members included prominent lawyers and JPs who were allied in sentiment to the law reformers of the age. While John Newdigate attended Gray’s Inn and the Inner Temple, and was later involved in considerable litigation, there is no evidence that he studied for the bar. He was elected sheriff of Warwickshire in 1625, as member of parliament in 1628, and was on the commission of the peace from 1630, though there is no evidence that he was an active magistrate.
