  • DATES of TRIALS Until October 1775, and Again from December 1816
    DATES OF TRIALS Until October 1775, and again from December 1816, the printed Proceedings provide both the start and the end dates of each sessions. Until the 1750s, both the Gentleman’s and (especially) the London Magazine scrupulously noted the end dates of sessions, dates of subsequent Recorder’s Reports, and days of execution. From December 1775 to October 1816, I have derived the end dates of each sessions from newspaper accounts of the trials. Trials at the Old Bailey usually began on a Wednesday. And, of course, no trials were held on Sundays. ***** NAMES & ALIASES I have silently corrected obvious misspellings in the Proceedings (as will be apparent to users who hyper-link through to the trial account at the OBPO), particularly where those misspellings are confirmed in supporting documents. I have also regularized spellings where there may be inconsistencies at different appearances points in the OBPO. In instances where I have made a more radical change in the convict’s name, I have provided a documentary reference to justify the more marked discrepancy between the name used here and that which appears in the Proceedings. ***** AGE The printed Proceedings almost invariably provide the age of each Old Bailey convict from December 1790 onwards. From 1791 onwards, the Home Office’s “Criminal Registers” for London and Middlesex (HO 26) do so as well. However, no volumes in this series exist for 1799 and 1800, and those for 1828-33 inclusive (HO 26/35-39) omit the ages of the convicts. I have not comprehensively compared the ages reported in HO 26 with those given in the Proceedings, and it is not impossible that there are discrepancies between the two.

  • The Old Bailey and the Recorder of London: a Brief History
    From our Patron, Simon Callow Last year I received the exceptional honour of the Freedom of the City of London. Since boyhood I have been haunted by the City, its history, its imagery, its traditions. One of the most vital of those traditions is the City's association with music. Since at least 1350, The Worshipful Company of Musicians has proudly celebrated the noble art. I vividly remember a City of London Festival when I was a youth, in which The Yeoman of the Guards was performed with full son et lumière effects at the Tower of London, and Sir William Walton was specially commissioned to write a splendid piece for the City – A Song for the Lord Mayor's Table. Since then the Barbican Concert Hall has opened, and the London Symphony Orchestra has become resident orchestra. Music is everywhere in the City, as it should be. So when last year's Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, Roger and Clare Gifford, asked me become a Patron of their new charity, the City Music Foundation, I said yes straight away - not only because of the ancient association of the City with music, but because it looks so keenly to the future. Its raison d'être is to help young musicians at that critical difficult early point in their careers, right at the beginning, after their training, when they attempt to launch themselves into the world. The Foundation nurtures, encourages, and supports them at a vulnerable moment in their lives. I know very well what that feels like - young actors face exactly the same problems; sometimes really gifted, exceptional artists fall by the wayside.

  • Implications of Abrogating the Role of the Aldermen As Justices of the Peace
    Committee: Date: 2 December 2016 Courts Sub (Policy and Resources) Committee Subject: Public The City of London and the Magistracy Report of: For Information Remembrancer Report Author: Paul Double Introductory Note 1. The paper annexed responds to a request that a report on the constitutional background to the City‘s relationship with the Magistracy be submitted to this subcommittee. This background is primarily referable to the Aldermen although non Aldermanic magistrates are now in the main responsible for summary justice in the City‘s Magistrates‘ Courts. Experience with the botched exercise of reforming the office of Lord Chancellor demonstrated (if demonstration were needed) that making changes to a constitutional settlement of centuries standing without a detailed analysis of the landscape is likely to be a cause of difficulty. That is not to say, of course, that change should not be entertained; as is well known, the City has only survived by a process of canny evolution and its evolving relationship with the administration of justice is a good example of this process at work. 2. For completeness the paper includes reference to the significant change to the position of Aldermen as magistrates introduced by the Access to Justice Act 1999, and the subsequent Act of Common Council by which the mandatory linkage to the magistracy was ended. It does not, however, deal with the aspect of that Act which related to the position of Lord Mayor as Chief Magistrate. The 1999 Act broke the link between the office of Chief Magistrate and Bench Chairman in the City, a link which had been mistakenly introduced by the Justices of the Peace Act 1968.

  • Sheriffs' & Recorder's Fund
    SHERIFFS’ & RECORDER’S FUND Annual Report 2018-2019 The Fund was established by the Sheriffs of the City of London in 1808 The Sheriffs’ & Recorder’s Fund In 1808 the two Sheriffs of the City of London set up a fund to help prisoners living in appalling conditions in Newgate, and their families. In 1931 the Fund merged with the fund set up by the Recorder to assist offenders released on probation. The Sheriffs’ & Recorder’s Fund still plays a vital part in preventing re-offending. In prison today: • The prison population has risen by 77% in the last 30 years. England & Wales has the highest imprisonment rate in Western Europe. • Assault rates among children in custody average 228 assaults a month. • 43% of prisons received a negative rating from inspectors in 2017-18 for purposeful activity work. In many prisons work remains mundane, repetitive and rarely linked to resettlement objectives. • 54% of those entering prison were assessed as having literacy skills expected of an 11-year-old (general population: 15%). • The number of women in prison has doubled since 1993. On release: • On release prisoners receive £46 – a sum unchanged since 1997 (with inflation, the equivalent today is £82.34). • 50% of respondents to a 2016 YouGov survey said they would not consider employing an offender or ex-offender • 48% of adults are reconvicted within one year of release (64% of those serving sentences of less than 12 months). Working in an office in the Old Bailey provided by the Corporation of London, the Fund gives small grants to ex-prisoners and their families in Greater London to buy essentials: clothes for a job interview, a training course, tools of trade, household equipment.

  • Judicial Encounters with Quakers 1660 1688*
    Judicial Encounters with Quakers 1660 1688* URING the reigns of Charles II and James II many Quakers were subjected to the rigours of the penal D laws against dissenters and Catholics. As a result, they often looked to the members of the common law judiciary for redress. Unfortunately the "twelve men in scarlet" who manned the courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas and Exchequer were not considered by contemporary observers to be independent arbiters of the law, but rather, were seen as civil servants of the Crown, "stewards of royal power charged with implementing the royal will".2 They had indeed been long utilized by the Crown for political and administrative, as well as legal purposes, and had been discredited by their decisions favouring the royal prerogative in the last years of Charles I's "personal" rule.3 Likewise, by 1688 they had again, for the same reason, found themselves discredited in the eyes of the victorious opposition.4 Although Whig accusations of judicial subservience to the Stuart kings appear influenced far more by partisan politics than by legal appreciation^ the judges throughout most of the reigns of Charles II and James II did hold their patents "during the king's pleasure" and dismissals 1 In this article quotations from manuscripts have been modernized in spelling, punctuation and capitalization. Old Style dating has been retained. The term "dissenter" means one who attended a religious conventicle as denned by the Conventicle Act (16 Car. II, 0.4). > J. S.

For generations animal husbandry and the farming of fruit, potatoes and hops have lent its lowland plain a rural charm and colour which vies for attention with the more dramatic uplands and gorges of the catchment periphery. Little wonder that much of the valley is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty, or that its towns and villages swell with visitors during the spring and summer.
