CALENDAR OF HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS OF THE HIGH COURT OF PARLIAMENT, 1603-1716 BASED ON DOCUMENTS PRESERVED IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS RECORD OFFICE (NOW THE PARLIAMENTARY ARCHIVES) AND ON THE JOURNALS OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS, THE REPORTS OF THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS, AND THE MANUSCRIPTS OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS, NEW SERIES April 18, 2014 Prepared and Edited By Donald E. Wilkes, Jr. Professor of Law University of Georgia School of Law Tentative Draft: November 30, 1993 Proposed Final Draft: September 1, 2003 Revised: July 3, 2010 Final Revised Version: April 18, 2014 Editor’s Note This Calendar is based on original research personally undertaken by the editor in the Search Room of the House of Lords Record Office (HLRO), in the Palace of Westminster, in London, United Kingdom, in 1992, 1993, and 1994. In November 2006, the name of the House of Lords Record Office was changed to the Parliamentary Archives of the United Kingdom. The editor expresses his gratitude to the staff of the House of Lords Record Office, who graciously and courteously assisted the editor in accessing the parliamentary records, written on parchment, relating to habeas corpus petitions, and habeas corpus proceedings, in the High Court of Parliament in England in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In particular, the editor heartily thanks these HLRO employees: R. Harrison; M. Troke; K. Bligh; S. Smith; D. Johnson; D. Prior; S. Ellison; and K. Lovell. The editor expresses his appreciation to the diligent and friendly British police officers who daily escorted the editor back and forth between the ground floor Chancellor’s Gate entrance to the Palace of Westminster and the upstairs Search Room of the House of Lords Record Office.

For a helpful book on the House of Lords during the Restoration era, from 1660 to 1685, see ANDREW SWATLAND, THE HOUSE OF LORDS IN THE REIGN OF CHARLES II (1996).

During the seventeenth century, the Old Style calendar (under which New Year’s Day occurs on March 25) was in effect in England. The New Style calendar (under which New Year’s Day is on January 1) did not take effect in England until 1752. It has long been customary, when denoting the year of any event in seventeenth century England occurring between January 1 and March 25 under the Old Style calendar, to set forth the Old Style year date, followed by a forward slash or a hyphen and then the final numeral of the New Style year date. It should also be noted that in the seventeenth century, the Old Style calendar was ten days behind the New Style calendar. Thursday, March 15, 1603/4 was, therefore, Thursday, March 25, 1604 under the N.S. calendar. The House of Lords, it should be noted, was abolished during the period extending from February 6, 1648/9 until the Page 3 of 750 Restoration in 1660. Donald E.

    1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • ABSTRACT in the Early Nineteenth Century, the Church
    ABSTRACT In the early nineteenth century, the Church of England faced a crisis of self- understanding as a result of political and social changes occurring in Britain. The church was forced to determine what it meant to be the established church of the nation in light of these new circumstances. In the 1830s, a revival took place within the Church of England which prompted a renewal of the theology and practice of the church, including the Eucharist. This revival, known as the Oxford Movement, breathed new life into the High Church party. A heightened emphasis was placed on the sacramental life and on the Eucharist as the focus of worship. Adherents of the Oxford Movement developed a Eucharistic theology which promoted a closer connection between the elements and Christ’s presence in the Eucharist than did the earlier Anglican tradition. One of the exponents of this Eucharistic theology was Robert Isaac Wilberforce (1802- 1857). The second son of anti-slavery crusader William Wilberforce, Robert was raised in a family of prominent Anglican Evangelicals. At the University of Oxford he came under the influence of his tutor, John Keble, who was one of the four leaders of the Oxford Movement during its heyday. The Gorham case, whose focus was ostensibly the question of baptismal regeneration, turned into a debate on the state’s control over the established church. Robert 1 Wilberforce was called upon to articulate the sacramental theology of the Oxford Movement, which he did in his three major works, The Doctrine of Holy Baptism: With Remarks to the Rev.

  • Chapter V Educational Provision in Wales Part
    CHAPTER V EDUCATIONAL PROVISION IN WALES PART (i) : SCHOOLS In medieval Wales it was the Church which assumed the greatest responsibility for schooling, bardic schools and possibly the households of the Welsh lords being also centres of learning. The English universities, and to a lesser extent, the continental universities and the inns of court, provided further or higher 1 education for the ablest talents of Wales. In England, by the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, lay involvement in educati4n increased, as the needs of the Crown, the aristocracy and the towns expanded, and this was also faintly apparent in as scattered and 2 rural a society as Wales. The revival of classical learning emphasised anew the educational qualities required of administrators and all useful members of the state and which were also to be expected of gentlemen. At a time of social change, in Wales as in England, education became a 3 means of asserting and of reinforcing social distinctions. Neither the schools nor the universities were particularly suited 4 to the task of preparing young gentlemen. The newer grammar schools tried tEadapt, and there were a few signs that the universities and the inns of court, though still largely institutions of professional instruction, made some concessions towards providing a more general and 5 popular education. The essential conservatism of these places meant 6 that they were not in the van of intellectual progress. Rather, they were places for disseminating received and accepted truths intermixed with north European humanism and religious ideology, giving force to 333. 7 the ideal of wise and moral service and leadership.

  • Henry VIII Before Jonathan Rhys Meyers: a Study of the Changing Image of Henry VIII During the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
    1 Henry VIII before Jonathan Rhys Meyers: A Study of the Changing Image of Henry VIII during the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries A thesis submitted to the Department of History, Miami University, in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for Honors in History. by LiMin Hang May, 2010 Oxford, Ohio 2 Introduction “Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.” This popular mnemonic describes the fates of the six wives of King Henry VIII of England who reigned England from 1509 to 1547. In the thirty-eight years that Henry VIII sat on the throne of England, he divorced himself from two wives as well as the Roman Catholic Church, beheaded two more wives along with hundreds of other people and created a legend of ruthlessness and romance which thrives in popular memory today. Although he accomplished much during his reign-the legal union of England and Wales, the establishment of the Church of England and the expansion of the Royal Navy- Henry is ultimately remembered as a grossly overweight bully with a nasty temper who ran through his wives like water. The drama, romance and violence of his reign have captured the attention and imaginations of people since the early seventeenth century. There have been countless movies and novels produced that center on the volatile personality of Henry VIII and his tumultuous relationships with women, presently his life is even the subject of a successful drama series on Showtime. The popularity of these fictional works has mythologized Henry VIII and his court, thereby obscuring them. Henry VIII lived in a time of transition when changing loyalties, dynastic instability and betrayal were not uncommon practices.

  • Since the Completion of the Great West Tower of Halifax Parish Church In
    Since the completion of the great west tower of Halifax Parish Church in the late fifteenth century four grotesque, spouting gargoyles have enjoyed a bird’s-eye view of Halifax. They have witnessed not only the faith journey of a vibrant community centred on Halifax’s historic Parish Church, but also the vicissitudes, which have shaped the history of the town of Halifax. The pre-conquest history of Christianity in Halifax remains obscure. It has been suggested that there may have been a hermitage on the banks of the Hebble dedicated to Saint John the Baptist dating from the seventh century mission of Paulinus to the North or possibly a later Saxon Church linked with the Anglian parish of Dewsbury, but both theories remain conjectural. Even after 1066, evidence is sparse, and there is no specific reference to a church or priest at Halifax in the Domesday Survey. However, the gift between 1078 and 1081 by the second Earl of Warenne, lord of the manor of Wakefield, of the rents and dues of the sub-manor of Halifax-cum-Heptonstall to the Benedictine Priory of Lewes, founded by his father, is documented, and it appears likely that the black-robed Cluniac monks had constructed a new church at Halifax by the early twelfth century. Fragments of an Anglo-Norman Church situated to the north of the present building are clearly discernible in the distinctive carved chevron stonework incorporated into a late- thirteenth rebuilding after the appointment of the first Vicar of Halifax, Ingelard Turbard, in 1274. Surviving Early English lancet windows in a three-bay length of masonry in the north wall have been attributed to this phase of rebuilding.
