Jacob Waley (1818-1873)1 Jacob Waley (1818-1873)1 By Bertram B. Benas, c.bje., ll.m., b.a. IN the eleventh Lucien Wolf Memorial Lecture delivered on the 17th April, 1947, Dr. Arthur L. Goodhart, k.b.e., q.c., now Master of University College, Oxford, then Corpus Professor of Jurisprudence in theUniversity, took for his subject "Jewish Contributions to Anglo-American Law", which was subsequently expanded to a mono? graph under the title "Five Jewish Lawyers of the Common Law." The term Common Law in this behalf was used by the Lecturer in itswidest sense so as to include the basic principles of the legal systems of England, the British Dominions and Colonies, and theUnited States ofAmerica, so far as they have adopted the principles of the Common Law of England as the foundation of their law. It does not comprise Scotland, a very few of the British territories overseas, and a small portion of theUnited States. That it was used in this sense is proved by the fact that, of the five Jewish lawyers described, Dr. Goodhart included Sir George Jessel,Master of the Rolls, who was the very embodiment of the system of Equity, whose principles formed the foundation of the law as administered in the Chancery Courts, as contrasted with Common Law in the narrower sense as administered in the Courts other than those, in general, of the old Courts of Chancery. He included some distinguished American exponents but all, whether English or American, were advocates who had outstanding careers either in the sphere of advocacy or the judiciary, or of both. Restricting the number to five, itwas inevitable that some who could have claimed to be entitled to inclusion in a collec? tion of eminent lawyers in the Anglo-American range would of necessity be excluded by this limitation, and attention to thiswas called by Lord Cohen who, in his Presidential Address, delivered before the JewishHistorical Society of England on the 3rdNovember, 1947, entitled "Levi Barent Cohen and some of his Descendants" observed that "there was one great English lawyer of the Jewish faith to whom Professor Goodhart had not referred?the late Rt. Hon. Arthur Cohen, q.c." and part of his Lordship's Address was devoted to the salient features of the life of that eminent Queen's Counsel.2 Had the range been larger, a strong claim for inclusion could have been made for Jacob Waley, Conveyancing Counsel to the Court of Chancery, one of themost eminent conveyancers of all time, a contributor of authority to the literature of conveyancing, and, for a period, holder of the Chair of Political Economy at University College, London. Of all branches of the legal profession the least known to the general public is that of Conveyancing Counsel, usually termed for short, Conveyancers. Although in a more extended sense the latter term could be applied tomembers of the solicitor branch of the profession who devote themselves more particularly to this sphere, yet, in the strictest sense of the term,Conveyancer ismore generally appropriated to thosemembers of the Bar who, either exclusively or mainly, devote themselves to conveyancing.3 Lord Justice Fry, in his "Studies by the Way" at p. 107, chapter 5, entitled 1 Presidential address delivered before the Jewish Historical Society of England on 13th November, 1952. 2 In the printed version of Dr. Goodhart's Lecture there is an ample note relating to Arthur Cohen, q.c, in addition to the reference in the text, observing that his career was predominantly forensic. Lord Cohen of Walmer was a Lord of in Ordinary in 1957. 3 appointed Appeal Sir Frederick Pollock ("Remembrances of an Ancient Victorian" entitled For my Grandson,) referred to two former Conveyancers who "unknown to the world at large, were and are in high honour in the comparative seclusion of Lincoln's Inn, where a small body of specialists grapples with the intricate problems of our law of property" (p. 35). 41 Jewish Historical Society of England is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve, and extend access to Transactions Jewish Historical Society of England ® www.jstor.org 42 JACOB WALEY (1818-1873) c Conveyancing", observed, "few people know what conveyancing means; itmeans primarily the art of carrying lands and other property over from one person to another . not only is conveyancing an art?it is a fine art. The art, as it exists in England, is practised by lawyers of many degrees?the country solicitor practises it and draws the deeds which convey the field or the house from the seller to the purchaser, young barristers who frequent the Courts also practise it; but in its purest and its highest development it is the function of a small set of learned lawyers,who are chiefly to be found in London, devoting themselves exclusively to this branch of their profession in Chambers ... in these rooms they sit, day by day, and receive visits from solicitors or their clerks who bring to them the more difficult problems of the art to solve and the more difficult of the writings to prepare, and there they pursue their learned toil free from the noise and the wit of the courts and remote from the ordinary pursuits of their fellowmen." It is interesting to note that Lord Justice Fry refers to what he regards as "the earliest recorded transferof land to be found in the history ofman, the firstpiece of conveyancing practice in the books?I mean the purchase by Abraham of the field and cave ofMach pelah?what a stately and graphic narrative it is !" (p. 112). The description applied by Lord Justice Fry to the character of the narrative is hardly one which is applicable to the volumes of Conveyancing Practice at the present day, but to our Society in parti? cular this parentage of Conveyancing Practice has an especial interest. To add to that interest he observes "the art of conveyancing has come in between Abraham and Jeremiah". (See Jeremiah XXXII 6-15). Sir William Holdsworth, in his Historical Introduction to theLand Lawy observed (at p. 299) that "in themiddle ages a class of professional conveyancers had not arisen. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the growth and perplexity of the law caused the beginnings of the growth of such a class. In the course of the eighteenth . century the continued increase in the complexity of conveyances made the convey? ... ancers a class verymuch apart from other legal practitioners at the beginning of the nineteenth century an intimate knowledge of the law of Real Property [that is the law relating to land] was almost confined to a comparatively small number of eminent con? veyancers, and . the majority of lawyers, barristers, as well as judges, depended for their information upon the opinions and writings of these conveyancers." Joshua Williams, one of the most eminent conveyancers of his time (1813-81), in his Letters toJohn Bull Esq.?Lawyers and Land Reform devoted one of them to con? veyancers. The substance of the letter is devoted to the writer's complaint that this secluded and exclusive branch of the profession is hardly known to the public and its contribution to the upbuilding of English Law has not met with the recognition which he thought itmerited. He observed (p. 39) that "conveyancing may fairly be called the literary branch of the profession of the law. By far the greater part of legal text books are written by conveyancers. The custom of conveyancers has great influence on the decisions of the Courts of Justice, and has been spoken of with great respect by Lord Eldon and other eminent judges. Yet, these men, being quiet in their habits, confining themselves to Chamber practice, and loving their art for its own sake rather than for the fame which stimulates their brethren are seldom heard beyond the bounds of the profession." He further observed (at p. 43) that "as a conveyancer must cease to practise ifhe ceases to draw Deeds, he cannot be made a Queen's Counsel" and pleads that "surely the rank might be given without the title, or rank and title without the obligation of complying with the etiquette." To this day conveyancers, as a general rule, do not "take Silk", as the phrase goes, nor have they the formal status at the Bar of those JACOBWALEY (1818-1873) 43 who are appointed Queen's Counsel. Very rarely conveyancers apply to be appointed and, when appointed, either the appointment ismade at a time when they have virtually ceased to practise, for as JoshuaWilhams pointed out, their conveyancing practice must inevitably be at an end since they cannot practise as conveyancers if they are Queen's Counsel, or they have intended to upbuild a Court practice with some relation to the spheres of Law with which their former conveyancing practice was associated. Joshua was one of the Williams those exceptions, yet appeared but seldom in Courts after taking Silk. Of this group ofmen JacobWaley was an exemplar, both illustrious and characteristic. JacobWaley was the eldest son of Solomon Jacob Levi (who adopted the name ofWaley) of Devonshire Place, London, and was born at South Street in the City of London, on the 17thMarch, 1818. Solomon JacobWaley was the son of Jacob Levi and Elizabeth . Waley.1 Solomon Jacob Levi of Stockwell, Surrey, was granted on the 8th September, 1834, a licence for him and his issue by Rachael, his wife, second daughter of Nahum Hart of Goodman Fields, Middlesex, by Jane, his wife, eldest daughter of Samuel Waley of the same place, to take and use the surname ofWaley in lieu of Levi and to bear the arms ofWaley.

Kavinsky, Dean of Graduate Studies Date iii Abstract British naval impressment and slavery were two major social issues in the British Empire in the long-eighteenth century. Scholars have explored each issue separately, however little has been done comparing both at length. Secondary sources, political theorem, and laws, frame the role of naval impressment and slavery in the eighteenth century British Empire. The two court cases, Rex versus Tubbs and Rex versus Knowles, exemplify each issue in the governmental realm of the eighteenth century. As such, naval impressment and slavery became major imperial issues throughout the eighteenth century, and although social reformer challenged the problems associated with the growth of each institution, the necessity to the empire blocked any far-reaching changes.

  • John Milner, History and Ultramontanism
    Cadoc Leighton John Milner, history and Ultramontanism Frederick Husenbeth began his 1862 biography of John Milner (1752- 1826) by setting out the bishop's claims to historical attention. He fixed chiefly on his role in the politics of Catholic Emancipation, casting him in the role of a Moses, who, having led the English Catholics through their long journey towards their inheritance, expired within sight of it.1 This adulatory assessment of Milner still stands to the extent that a claim that the age of Milner succeeded that of Challoner in English Catholic history would probably still go uncontested,2 and that is due, in large measure, to his involvement in the Catholic politics of the age. It is an error to accord primacy to matters of politics in discussing Milner, one that he himself would have been anxious to correct. Still, his political role was important; for he was outstanding among English Catholics in his favourable disposition towards the character the Emancipation campaign acquired in Ireland, before and under O'Connell. It was thus that he was able to contribute to that Irish campaign - the one which mattered. His achievement, in other words, was to bring English Catholics, with much difficulty, to the Irish banner. Husenbetlťs typology, one might remark, needs revision. The alter- native offered elsewhere in his work, recording Milner' s appellation as an 'English Athanasius',3 is better: At home, among English Catholics, he was liable to take on the appearance of a solus contra mundum in the attitude he manifested to Emancipation. Such a measure, he thought, was indeed to be welcomed, chiefly as a declaration that the Anglican state embraced an alliance with Catholic Europe against the menace of the Revolution.

Don't expect too much, and you may well find something you are glad to see (mouldy books exhibited only on demand ) V/e are Just a little over twelve months old now. V/e have 1700 books, all on temporary catalogue slips, and a few films. They include an expanding collection of Erasmiana and of works by and on Erasmus' contemporaries^ a growing specialized reference collection (in which we already take some pride); a number of beginning collections for graduate courses on Luther, Elizabethan Poetry, îfontaigne et Pascal, and German Reformation History; and some other books, for instajice a fair number on Duerer and Holbein. If our collection continues the way it has so far, Latinists and Germanists will be at an advantage, but we are not biassed against English or French or any of the languages the humanists were prepared to pick up on the side. For the time being we are concentrating on Northern Europe; for Italy and Spain we have so far done little, but of course we must do something. In areas v;here the University Library is strong, we will have little or nothing, e.g. Italian drama. The aim is to present something extra in Toronto, not to compete with any institution; to develop on a modest scale a specialized library of a kind that is fairly common on a much larger scale in every country of Western Europe and in the United States, though in our area evidently unique in Canada.

  • Catholic Advocacy and the Catholic Print Trade in Mathew Carey's
    1 Catholic Advocacy and the Catholic Print Trade in Mathew Carey‘s Dublin, 1740-1790 Nicholas Wolf Virginia Commonwealth University A Paper Submitted to ―Ireland, America, and the Worlds of Mathew Carey‖ Co-Sponsored by: The McNeil Center for Early American Studies The Program in Early American Economy and Society The Library Company of Philadelphia, The University of Pennsylvania Libraries Philadelphia, PA October 27-29, 2011 *Please do not cite without permission of the author 2 Thomas McDonnel‘s print shop, where Mathew Carey served as an apprentice in the late 1770s, was variously situated at several locations within a cluster of lanes west of Christ Church and along both sides of the Liffey populated by many of Dublin‘s catholic printers.1 When the shop was headquartered on Pill Lane, it was close to the business of Philip Bowes and, to the south, Bartholomew Corcoran‘s sign at the Inns Quay. Starting in 1779, when McDonnel moved to Thomas Street on the south side of the river, Carey worked only a few blocks from the shops of Richard Cross on Bridge Street and John Boyce on Merchant‘s Quay. Patrick Wogan, who later became the most prolific of Dublin‘s catholic printers, contracted work with McDonnel and was also based on Bridge Street; it was Wogan‘s apprentice who had been beaten in a skirmish with one of Carey‘s fellow apprentices and whose subsequent demand of satisfaction—at Wogan‘s urging—prompted Carey to write his first essay on the subject of dueling. By the early 1780s, Carey had formed a friendship with Patrick Byrne, whose shop was right across from the Irish House of Commons and who would later relocate his bookselling business to Carey‘s Philadelphia at the end of the century.

  • An Englishman's Overview on Saint Gerard of Cenad
    Trivent Publishing © The Authors, 2016 Available online at http://trivent-publishing.eu/ Philosophy, Communication, Media Sciences Series Volume The Modern and Contemporary Reception of Saint Gerard of Cenad An Englishman’s Overview on Saint Gerard of Cenad Butler’s Lives and Saint Gerard Boris Stojkovski,1 Svetozar Boškov2 1 University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Department of History, Novi Sad, Serbia, [email protected] 2 University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Department of History, Novi Sad, Serbia, [email protected] Abstract In this paper the authors will present an interesting modern reception of Saint Gerard, found in the Lives of the Saints written by the well-known English Roman Catholic priest and hagiographer, Alban Butler. This piece of hagiographic work is widely read not only as a religious work, but also as vernacular literature. The authors will attempt to provide an overview of this work, while also providing additional commentary regarding sources and possible influences, as well as incorrect and somewhat confusing information provided by Alban Butler. The authors will also attempt to identify the key sources of Alban Butler in depicting the life of Hungarian protomartyr and patron-saint. Additionally, a brief overview will be given of how modern editors of Butler’s work perceive Saint Gerard and his life.
