Introduction Notes 163 Notes Introduction 1 Impeachment was the judicial process used by the House of Commons for prosecuting a person for high treason or other high crimes or misdemeanors before the House of Lords. Attainder was the process whereby an Act of Parliament (an ‘Act of Attainder’) declared a named individual guilty of a crime and imposed a penalty. The sentence for attainder could include corporal punishment, forfeiture of all posses- sions and corruption of blood passing to all descendants, in other words, ‘the legal death of the family.’ J.R. Lander, ‘Attainder and Forfeiture, 1453–1509,’ Historical Journal 4 (1961): 120. For an early eighteenth- century interpretation see Richard West, A Discourse Concerning Treasons, and Bills of Attainder. Explaining the True and Ancient Notion of Treason, and Shewing the Natural Justice of Bills of Attainder. The Second Edition (London: J. Roberts, 1717). 2 John Brewer, ‘The Eighteenth-Century British State: Contexts and Issues,’ in An Imperial State at War: Britain from 1689 to 1815, ed. Lawrence Stone (London: Routledge Press, 1994), 68. 3 For a good example of an historian who did look at case law see Peter King, ‘Decision-Makers and Decision-Making in English Criminal Law, 1750–1800,’ Historical Journal 27, no. 1 (March 1984): 25–58. Clive Holmes recently argued in favor of exploring the activities in the courtroom and against simply accounting for the passing of statute laws: ‘Legisla- tion had meaning only insofar as it was interpreted by lawyers. To understand that interpretation, the historian must make the mental effort to comprehend their assumptions.’ Clive Holmes, ‘G.R. Elton as a Legal Historian,’ Transactions of the Royal Historical Society (TRHS) 7, 6th series (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997): 278. 4 See Kenneth Dyson, The State Tradition in Western Europe (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1980); Peter Evans, Dietrich Rueschemeyer, and Theda Skocpol, eds, Bringing the State Back In (Cambridge: Cambridge Univer- sity Press, 1985); Gabriel A.

See also an earlier article, by H.J. McClosky, 163 164 Notes ‘The State as an Organism, as a Person, and as an End in Itself,’ Philo- sophical Review (July 1963): 306–26. Although Meadowcroft believes that the state, the ‘most complex notion of the political lexicon’ was ‘some- thing of a stranger in British political discourse’ until T.H. Green first gave it precise meaning, he acknowledges that William Blackstone and Jeremy Bentham employed ‘the state’ in their essays during the eight- eenth century. We could also add others such as Henry Parker, Edward Coke, Robert Filmer, Thomas Hobbes, Algernon Sidney, and John Locke who used ‘the state’ in their writings during the seventeenth century. Further, we should not ignore the most personal expression of state in seventeenth-century France: ‘l’état c’est moi.’ However vaguely defined but revered an entity it was, ‘the state’ of the early seventeenth cen- tury was not ‘the state’ of the nineteenth century and historians of the eighteenth century are very much aware of this. 5 According to Linda Colley’s estimate, after 1707 a single people existed with loyalties to one state, ‘not because of political or cultural consen- sus at home, but in reaction to the Other beyond the shores.’ Linda Colley, Britons: Forging the Nation, 1707–1837 (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1992), 6. War united the diverse British nation of Scots, Welsh, and English against the foreign ‘Other.’ While Colley argues in terms of a social consensus, another historian, J.C.D. Clark, asserts that ‘Gentlemen, the Church of England, and the Crown commanded an intellectual and social hegemony.’ J.C.D. Clark, English Society, 1688– 1832. Ideology, Social Structure and Political Practice During the Ancien Regime (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1985), 7. Clark main- tains that eighteenth-century Britons were actually divided by a variety of ideologies and identities, such as English and Scots, but the hegemonic state retained power over a populace who submitted to its rule and who continued to conceive of allegiance in personal and theological terms. Ibid., 51. Clark has revised English Society, and Cambridge Uni- versity Press is publishing the second edition in 2000. See especially J.C.D. Clark, ‘The Conflict between Laws: Sovereignty and State Forma- tion in the United Kingdom and the United States,’ in The Language of Liberty: 1660–1832. Political Discourse and Social Dynamics in the Anglo- American World (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1994), 46–140. John Brewer also emphasized a strong central state. In Sinews of Power he argues that Britain was a strong fiscal-military state similar in power to the continental absolutist monarchies of the eighteenth century. Other historians argue against this understanding of a strong central- ized state. Paul Langford’s interpretation, for example, dramatically opposes Jonathan Clark’s confessional state and John Brewer’s fiscal-military state. For Langford, the state was not authoritarian by European standards. Both parliament and the state it sustained responded to the require- ments of a propertied public, which was essentially a middle-class culture. Commerce propelled society. According to Langford, the state was a product of a ‘decentralized, pluralistic, voluntary-minded society.’ Paul Langford, A Polite and Commercial People: England 1727–1783 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1992), 692. Edward Thompson, in Whigs and Hunters, and Douglas Hay, in Albion’s Fatal Tree, also argue for a decen- Notes 165 tralized eighteenth-century state. See Douglas Hay, ‘Property, Authority and the Criminal Law,’ in Douglas Hay, Peter Linebaugh, John G. Rule, E.P. Thompson, and Cal Winslow, Albion’s Fatal Tree: Crime and Society in Eighteenth-Century England (New York: Pantheon Books, 1975), 17–64; and E.P. Thompson, Whigs and Hunters: the Origin of the Black Act (London: Allen Lane, Penguin Books, Ltd, 1975). Rather than focusing on the middle-class culture, Thompson and Hay explore class conflict and view it as a driving force in the formation of the state. Power rested in the hands of the local gentry, not in a centralized state based in London. 6 John Bellamy, The Law of Treason in England in the Later Middle Ages (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1970).

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

    PLEASE NOTE This is a draft paper only and should not be cited without the author’s express permission THE SHORT-TERM IMPACT OF THE >GLORIOUS REVOLUTION= ON THE ENGLISH JUDICIAL SYSTEM On February 14, 1689, The day after William and Mary were recognized by the Convention Parliament as King and Queen, the first members of their Privy Council were sworn in. And, during the following two to three weeks, all of the various high offices in the government and the royal household were filled. Most of the politically powerful posts went either to tories or to moderates. The tory Earl of Danby was made Lord President of the Council and another tory, the Earl of Nottingham was made Secretary of State for the Southern Department. The office of Lord Privy Seal was given to the Atrimming@ Marquess of Halifax, whom dedicated whigs had still not forgiven for his part in bringing about the disastrous defeat of the exclusion bill in the Lords= house eight years earlier. Charles Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, who was named Principal Secretary of State, can really only be described as tilting towards the whigs at this time. But, at the Admiralty and the Treasury, both of which were put into commission, in each case a whig stalwart was named as the first commissioner--Lord Mordaunt and Arthur Herbert respectivelyBand also in each case a number of other leading whigs were named to the commission as well.i Whig lawyers, on the whole, did rather better than their lay fellow-partisans. Devonshire lawyer and Inner Temple Bencher Henry Pollexfen was immediately appointed Attorney- General, and his cousin, Middle Templar George Treby, Solicitor General.

However, the BIVR cannot accept responsibility for the accuracy of any of the information contained therein. I Background In 1588 Dr. Timothy Bright published the first book in England on a shorthand system, which he termed a 'Characterie'. The following year he was granted a 15-year patent monopoly of publishing books on this system (See Appendixl).1 This was followed in 1590 by a work by Peter Bales called a 'Brachygraphy' from the Greek for shorthand. The object was to produce a verbatim simultaneous account. These publications preceded similar publication in the contemporary Europe. This may therefore be a good occasion to celebrate the centenary of a striking development which must have influenced law-reporting and the requirements of the modern system of judicial precedent. As law-reporters we are primarily concerned with the use of methods of perpetuating the oral elements in legal proceedings. These range from obscure mnemonic and idiosyncratic jottings which had to be quickly extended by their authors to complete contemporary accounts of all that was said.

In counties such as Essex—the focus of this study—the major-generals were assisted in their work by small groups of commissioners, mostly local men “well-affected” to the Interregnum government.
