Over dit boek Dit is een digitale kopie van een boek dat al generaties lang op bibliotheekplanken heeft gestaan, maar nu zorgvuldig is gescand door Google. Dat doen we omdat we alle boeken ter wereld online beschikbaar willen maken. Dit boek is zo oud dat het auteursrecht erop is verlopen, zodat het boek nu deel uitmaakt van het publieke domein. Een boek dat tot het publieke domein behoort, is een boek dat nooit onder het auteursrecht is gevallen, of waarvan de wettelijke auteursrechttermijn is verlopen. Het kan per land verschillen of een boek tot het publieke domein behoort. Boeken in het publieke domein zijn een stem uit het verleden. Ze vormen een bron van geschiedenis, cultuur en kennis die anders moeilijk te verkrijgen zou zijn. Aantekeningen, opmerkingen en andere kanttekeningen die in het origineel stonden, worden weergegeven in dit bestand, als herinnering aan de lange reis die het boek heeft gemaakt van uitgever naar bibliotheek, en uiteindelijk naar u.

PREFACE. SIR Henry Slingsby, the writer of the following Diary, was born on the fourteenth of January 1601 ; but at what place is not now known : the Register of Knaresborough, the Parish in which Scriven is situated, contains no entry of his Christening, and that of Moor-Monkton, in which Red- House stands, does not begin till many years after his death. Of his lineage, a full account will be found in the Appendix to this volume : it is such as a Genealogist may read with satisfaction, and will gratify all those persons, who feel a pleasure in believing, that eminence of character naturally follows the pure stream of ancient blood : and, had it so happened, that Sir Henry Slingsby was to be spoken of merely as a link in a chain of respectable ancestry, it would have been scarcely possible to avoid feeling, that in such times, a chivalrous and loyal character might have been expected in him : but we find him rather exceeding the high standard of the patriotism of his VI PREFACE. day, than talling short of it ; and throwing into the shade his unblemished descent, by the lustre of his personal history. Of this, as is commonly the case, less is to be collected at this distance of time, than will satisfy all our curiosity ; but enough remains, taken together with his own account of ten years, to give us more information concerning him than we have received of most of those other heroes, whose names rise mourn fully to our recollections of that period. It appears that he was at school under Mr Otby, Parson of Foston in the North Riding of Yorkshire. In January 1618, he was entered a Fellow- Commoner of Queen's College, Cambridge ; where he resided till 1621, but there is no record in the College Archives of his ever having taken any degree : and he probably took none, for, in a letter of his father's, in the summer of 1621, mention is made of a journey then about to be undertaken by him to the Continent. From this period untill his marriage, he appears to have spent his time between Yorkshire and London, in which City his father possessed a considerable property*. On the seventh of July 1631, he married, at * Family papers. PREFACE. Vll Kensington Church, Barbara, daughter of Thomas Bellasyse, first Viscount Falconberg ; a Lady who seems to have been as pious, as she was naturally amiable. She died in London on the last day of December 1641. In 1638, he was created Baronet of Nova Scotia. As there has commonly been a confusion of the date of this Baronetcy, with the English Baronetcy created in 1628 in the person of Anthony Slingsby (see Genealogy), the date is here given from the original letters patent now remaining at Scriven, " Apud Striveling secundo die mensis Martij Anno Domini millesimo sexcentesimo trigesimo octavo et anno regni nri decimo tertio": it is worthy of remark that several of the Nova Scotia Baronetcies in English families, were created about this time, probably with the intention of giving them an interest in Scotland, against which the King was now at length compelled to levy an army. Although his Diary takes in the date of his creation, Sir Henry makes no allusion to it. He sat for Knaresborough in both the Parliaments summoned in 1640 : and in 1641 had the mag nanimity to be one of those fifty nine members, who voted against the bill for the attainder of the illustrious Strafford, and were posted, on the third of Vlll PREFACE. May 1641, in Old Palace Yard, with the super scription of STRAFFORDIANS.* In 1642 he must have ceased to sit in the Long Parliament, as another name appears in the place of his. There can be little doubt that he was compelled to absent himself, like the rest of the loyal party, by finding that he could no longer perform his legislative duties at Westminster, with safety to his life ; and that if he would serve his Majesty, he must serve him elsewhere and in another capacity.

In the course of my labors it has been necessary for me to visit members of the different families with whom I had no previous acquaintance; but, in every instance, I have been received in the most cordial manner, and every facility afforded me for making the desired researches.

  • Chancery Reform During the Interregnum: the Cromwellianordinance of 1654

    Chancery Reform During the Interregnum: the Cromwellianordinance of 1654

    CHANCERY REFORM DURING THE INTERREGNUM: THE CROMWELLIANORDINANCE OF 1654 John J. Weitman* The I 654 Ordinance for the Better Regulating and Limiting the Jurisdi­ ction of the High Court of Chancery is of considerable historical significance. Despite its similarity to earlier Chancery orders, its condemnation by con­ temporary Chancery officials and its abolition at the Restoration, the 1654 Ordinance is worth studying in depth because it indicates a great deal about the problems in Chancery procedure, administration, and jurisdiction in the mid­ seventeenth century. It also demonstrates the legal attitudes of its creators, Cromwell's associates, and suggests why Cromwell's associates did not desire to abolish Chancery during this revolutionary period. Furthennore, it provides us with an historical precedent for some of the procedural refonns of Chancery in the early nineteenth century. This study approaches the 1654 Ordinance from three different angles. First, it puts the document in historical perspective by elucidating the different approaches to Chancery reform, and explaining why the ordinance was the only Chancery refonn actually promulgated during the Interregnum. Second, it compares the ordinance to the other major attempt to reform Chancery during this period: the Hale Commission reform of 1652. This comparison determines what goals the executive (1654 Ordinance) and legislative (Hale Commission bill) approaches had in common, and what solutions they suggested for refonning Chancery. Finally, this study compares the ordinance to later seventeenth and early nineteenth-century reforms to evaluate the usefulness of its solutions for later legal generations. * * * *John J. Weitman received his B.A. (Cum Laude) from Yale University in 1979.

    One of Many: Martial Law and English Laws c. 1500 – c. 1700 John Michael Collins Minneapolis, MN Bachelor of Arts, with honors, Northwestern University, 2006 MPHIL, with distinction, Cambridge University, 2008 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August 2013 Abstract This dissertation provides the first history of martial law in the early modern period. It seeks to reintegrate martial law in the larger history of English law. It shows how jurisdictional barriers constructed by the makers of the Petition of Right Parliament for martial law unintentionally transformed the concept from a complementary form of criminal law into an all-encompassing jurisdiction imposed by governors and generals during times of crisis. Martial law in the early modern period was procedure. The Tudor Crown made it in order to terrorize hostile populations into obedience and to avoid potential jury nullification. The usefulness of martial law led Crown deputies in Ireland to adapt martial law procedure to meet the legal challenges specific to their environment. By the end of the sixteenth century, Crown officers used martial law on vagrants, rioters, traitors, soldiers, sailors, and a variety of other wrongs. Generals, meanwhile, sought to improve the discipline within their forces in order to better compete with their rivals on the European continent. Over the course of the seventeenth century, owing to this desire, they transformed martial law substance, procedure, and administration. The usefulness of martial law made many worried, and MPs in 1628 sought to restrain martial law to a state of war, defined either as the Courts of Westminster being closed or by the presence of the enemy’s army with its standard raised.

From A “strong Town Of War” To The “very Heart Of The Country”: The English Border Town Of Berwick-Upon-Tweed, 1558-1625 Abstract The English border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed provides the perfect case study to analyze early modern state building in the frontiers. Berwick experienced two seismic shifts of identity, instituted by two successive monarchs: Elizabeth I (1558-1603) and James I (1603-1625). Both sought to expand state power in the borders, albeit in different ways. Elizabeth needed to secure her borders, and so built up Berwick’s military might with expensive new fortifications and an enlarged garrison of soldiers, headed by a governor who administered the civilian population as well. This arrangement resulted in continual clashes with Berwick’s traditional governing guild. Then, in 1603, Berwick’s world was turned upside-down when James VI, king of Scotland, ascended the English throne.
