    A Veritable Revolution: the Court of Criminal Appeal in English

    A VERITABLE REVOLUTION: THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL IN ENGLISH CRIMINAL HISTORY 1908-1958 A THESIS IN History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by CECILE ARDEN PHILLIPS B.A. University of Missouri-Kansas City, 1986 Kansas City, Missouri 2012 © 2012 CECILE ARDEN PHILLIPS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED A VERITABLE REVOLUTION: THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL IN ENGLISH CRIMINAL HISTORY 1908-1958 Cecile Arden Phillips, Candidate for the Masters of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2012 ABSTRACT In a historic speech to the House of Commons on April 17, 1907, British Attorney General, John Lawson Walton, proposed the formation of what was to be the first court of criminal appeal in English history. Such a court had been debated, but ultimately rejected, by successive governments for over half a century. In each debate, members of the judiciary declared that a court for appeals in criminal cases held the potential of destroying the world-respected English judicial system. The 1907 debates were no less contentious, but the newly elected Liberal government saw social reform, including judicial reform, as their highest priority. After much compromise and some of the most overwrought speeches in the history of Parliament, the Court of Criminal Appeal was created in August 1907 and began hearing cases in May 1908. A Veritable Revolution is a social history of the Court’s first fifty years. There is no doubt, that John Walton and the other founders of the Court of Criminal Appeal intended it to provide protection from the miscarriage of justice for English citizens convicted of criminal offenses.

Bedfordshire Borough and Central Bedfordshire libraries offer a wealth of resources, for more detailed information see the Virtual Library: www.bedford.gov.uk or www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk Click on Libraries Click on Local and Family History Click on People The Local Studies section at Bedford Central Library also holds an archive of newspaper cuttings, biography files, an obituary index, local periodicals and books, including A Bedfordshire Bibliography by L.R. Conisbee, which has a large biography section. 2 Bedfordshire People Past Offa (? -796 BC) King Offa, regarded as one of the most powerful kings in early Anglo-Saxon England, ruled for 39 years from 757 to his death in 796. It is traditionally believed that he was buried in Bedford, somewhere near Batts Ford. Falkes De Breaute (1180-1225) A French soldier and adventurer, Falkes's loyalty to King John was rewarded with a number of titles. The king also gave him Bedford Castle, which Falkes held until 1224 when it was besieged and demolished by King Henry III. Falkes escaped and fled to the continent but died on route from food poisoning. Queen Eleanor (1244-1290) The sad death of Queen Eleanor links her to Dunstable. She died in Lincolnshire and King Edward 1st – her husband – wanted her to be buried in Westminster, thus the body was taken back to London and passed through Dunstable. The king ordered memorial crosses to be erected at every place the funeral cortege stopped overnight.

    The “Near Miss” of Liam Allan: Critical Problems in Police Disclosure, Investigation Culture, and the Resourcing of Criminal Justice

    The “near miss” of Liam Allan: Critical Problems in Police Disclosure, Investigation Culture, and the Resourcing of Criminal Justice Dr Tom Smith Lecturer in Law, University of the West of England, Bristol Miscarriages of justice have historically acted as catalysts for reform. It seems we only learn to fix the most serious problems – often obvious to those at the coal-face of practice – once the damage is done. Miscarriages include a failure to deliver justice for those victimised by crime, but as egregious is the conviction of the innocent, and the consequent punishment and social stigma attached to them.1 There are many examples, old and new. The secretive exploits of the Court of Star Chamber led to the abolition of investigative torture in the 1640s.2 Later in the same century, the ‘Popish Plot’ treason trials led to the lifting of the ban on defence lawyers.3 The cases of George Edalji and Adolf Beck led to the creation of the Court of Criminal Appeal in 1908.4 In the 1950s and 1960s, several high-profile executions (including Timothy Evans, James Hanratty, Ruth Ellis, and Derek Bentley) generated significant debate about and public opposition to the death penalty – which was abolished for murder in 1965 (and later for the two remaining eligible offences (piracy and treason) by the Human Rights Act 1998 and Crime and Disorder Act 1998).5 In the 1970s, the Maxwell Confait affair and the consequent Fisher Inquiry instigated the creation of the Philips Commission, and eventually the passage of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE)

Lord Brockway first agreed to give his papers to Churchill College in 1979, although he expressed the opinion that they were not especially valuable, since his earlier papers had been lost and he had not kept them systematically since. He also said that they were "in a great mess" and that he would have no time to organise them until there was "less political pressure". The papers were eventually collected from him and brought to the Archives Centre in August 1982. This section of the papers consists of 65 boxes. In 1985 Lord Brockway confirmed that he wished all his papers to be lodged with Churchill College, including those which had been loaned to the Movement for Colonial Freedom and deposited by them at the School of Oriental and African Studies. The SOAS Archivist confirmed that the papers, on examination, were found to be those of Lord Brockway and not part of the records of MCF or Liberation. A further five cartons were therefore collected from SOAS in 1985. These papers fill 18 boxes. The total collection therefore consists of some 83 boxes and but for a few earlier papers cover Lord Brockway's career after his elevation to the Lords in 1964.

    CONTINUITY AND CHANGE IN THE HOME OFFICE David Faulkner An Occasional Paper written in 1991 for internal use within the Home Office 2 Continuity and Change in the Home Office Continuity and Change in the Home Office This paper offers some thoughts on the history of the Home Office, its character as a department, and the issues which we can expect to face during the next few years. The Home Office began its existence as a separate department of state in 1782, and it is the bicentenary of that event which was celebrated by HM The Queen’s visit to the Home Office in April 1982 and by the Commemorative plaque which you see in the main entrance hall in Queen Anne’s Gate. But the Office of Secretary of State, originally the King’s Secretary, is much older and goes back, according to Sir Frank Newsam’s book on the Home Office, to 1377. It was not a th th particularly distinguished office during the 14 and 15 centuries, but its status and influence rose rapidly in Tudor times. Thomas Cromwell was effectively Henry VIII’s chief minister, and it is interesting that one of the issues with which he was concerning himself in 1537 was the organisation of local justice, just as his successors have done from time to time ever since. The Secretary of State’s three main functions eventually came to be recognised as - providing the main channel of communication between the King and Parliament (still part of the functions of A Division); - advice to the King on the exercise of the Prerogative, especially the Prerogative of Mercy (still the job of C3 Division); - Conveying instructions to the King’s Officers at home and abroad - usually in earlier times to Lords Lieutenant and Sheriffs rather than Chief Constables, but also to magistrates and local authorities and recognisably the beginning of our present Home Office Circulars.
