Harper 1978 SUMMARY This Thesis sets out to analyse the growth of the building regulations in this country during their most formative years in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The originality of the study is that it is the first complete history of the regulations. The study concentrates upon the regulations which relate primarily to building design and construction. Particular emphasis is placed on the national trend, as exemplified by the Model Building By-laws in con- junction with the influential role played by the London Building Acts. Reference is also made, by way of illumination, to the content and implementation of various local building acts and by-laws. The pressures which affected the building regulations - from societyq from more complex buildings, new building types and new materials for example - are all duly assessed. As a resultq the work reflects upon a number of lesser known facets of the Victorian building world. The material used has included the Acts and By-laws themselves, com- mentaries and opinions contained in contemporary journalsq papers and the reports, as well as the discussion in Parliamentary debate and at meetings of the Professional bodies. The first three chapters describe i three separate routes into the subject : the sanitary reform movements the legislation in London, and provincial activities. The sequence of chapters then proceeds chronologically, alternating between London and the Provincesl highlighting the principal London regulations of 18449 1855 and 1894 and the Model By-laws of 18581 1877 and 1890. The intervening amending Acts and modifications to the By-laws are also included. The principal technical details are collated, tabulated and connecting links established between them. The study provides, in addition to the detailed documentation and historical interpretationg evidence of the factors which have determined the form of our present building regulations. 6 INTRODUCTION DEFINITIONS PLAN PRELUDE INTRODUCTION The architectural historian may, it has been suggested, (-1) be in a key position to make a number of useful and relevant contributions to con- temporary society. In the first place, he may be able to show that something similar has happened before and that the problems which presently beset society are not so new as may be thought. Secondly, he may help to trace the causes and roots of those present problems and conditions. Thirdly, he may help by drawing the attention of his con- temporaries to the framework within which the present problems are being discussed. This Thesis is presented with the intention of making a similar set of contributions in the subject of the building regulations. In the context of this work, the first of these contributions, namely that a good deal of our present problems are not new, will become more and more self evident as the Thesis unfolds. It needs no further comment at this stage beyond recording the sad fact that complexity, undue interference and confusion have apparently characterised the regulations and plagued the architect for some considerable time in the past. The second contribution, the tracing of the causes and roots of the present conditions is more substantial and forms the main bulk of the material presented here. A Thesis would normally commence with the establishment of the proposed field of study within the context of work already undertaken by others. In this case, the task is surprisingly simple. With perhaps one exception, there appears to be no single sub- stantial study directly related to the history of the building (2) regulations. One may look in vain for a chronological and critical account which attempts to piece together this very diffuse and difficult (3) subject. The one exception is the work of Knowles and Pitt but their work refers only to London, is rather slender and strays towards a history of the District Surveyors. On the other hand, building regulations, in the form of acts and by-laws, have been introduced in many other parallel areas of study, as an important adjunct to a particular theme - notably in the study of town planningg urban historyq public health and working class housing.

INTRODUCTION Prior articles have asserted that English criminal law is very fragmented and that a considerable amount of the older law - especially the common law - is badly out of date.1 The purpose of this article is to consider the crime of public nuisance (also called common nuisance), a common law crime. The word 'nuisance' derives from the old french 'nuisance' or 'nusance' 2 and the latin, nocumentum.3 The basic meaning of the word is that of 'annoyance';4 In medieval English, the word 'common' comes from the word 'commune' which, itself, derives from the latin 'communa' - being a commonality, a group of people, a corporation.5 In 1191, the City of London (the 'City') became a commune. Thereafter, it is usual to find references with that term - such as common carrier, common highway, common council, common scold, common prostitute etc;6 The reference to 'common' designated things available to the general public as opposed to the individual. For example, the common carrier, common farrier and common innkeeper exercised a public employment and not just a private one.

  • ENGLAND, 1831-1875 Presented to the Graduate Council of the North
    N, 1'%,6ABI THE PUBLIC HEALTH MOVEMENT IN VICTORIAN ENGLAND, 1831-1875 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Renee Anderson Hopkins, B.A. Denton, Texas December, 1985 .0-"/,C7 Hopkins, Renee A., The Public Health Movement in Victorian England, 1831-1875. Master of Arts (History), December, 1985, 73 pp., bibliography, 60 titles. In early Victorian England, a coalition of men of Gov- ernment and the local community established a centralized and uniform policy toward public health. The long and ar- duous campaign (1831-1875) for public health impelled the need to solve the serious social, political and economic problems spawned by the Industrial Revolution. This study concludes that Britain's leaders came to believe that Government indeed had an obligation to redress grievances created by injustice, a decision which meant the rejection of laissez-faire. Through legislation based on long study, Parliament consolidated the work of sanitation authorities, trained medical officers, and essential environmental improvements. The public sanitation program soon decreased the mortality rate by breaking the frequent cycle of cholera, typhoid, typhus, and dysentery plagues, all this notwithstanding that no doctor of that age knew that bacteria and viruses caused disease. -MNW.. PREFACE The Public Health Movement of Victorian England stemmed from the social, economic and political problems created by industrialization. Unprecedented social change focused attention on such issues as poverty, public health, working conditions, and education. By mid-century, govern- ment involvement in social affairs had begotten a plethora of recommendations on how to rid England of these social evils, especially the improvement of public sanitation.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 2, 2017 Accepted: April 19, 2017 Online Published: April 27, 2017 doi:10.5539/par.v6n1p53 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/par.v6n1p53 1. INTRODUCTION English criminal - and criminal procedure - legislation is in a parlous state. Presently, there are some 286 Acts covering criminal law and criminal procedure with the former comprising c.155 Acts. Therefore, it is unsurprising that Judge CJ, in his book, The Safest Shield (2015), described the current volume of criminal legislation as 'suffocating'. 1 If one considers all legislation extant from 1267 - 1925 (see Appendix A) a considerable quantity comprises criminal law and criminal procedure - most of which is (likely) obsolete.2 Given this, the purpose of this article is to look at criminal legislation in the period 1267-1970 as well as criminal procedure legislation in the period 1267-1925. Its conclusions are simple: (a) the Law Commission should review all criminal legislation pre-1890 as well as a few pieces thereafter (see Appendix B). It should also review (likely) obsolete common law crimes (see Appendix C); (b) at the same time, the Ministry of Justice (or Home Office) should consolidate all criminal legislation post-1890 into 4 Crime Acts.3 These should deal with: (a) Sex crimes; (b) Public order crimes; (c) Crimes against the person; (d) Property and financial crimes (see 7).

  • Cholera, Quarantine and the English Preventive System, 1850-1895
    Medical Historv, 1993, 37: 250-269. CHOLERA, QUARANTINE AND THE ENGLISH PREVENTIVE SYSTEM, 1850-1895 by ANNE HARDY * Cholera is popularly remembered as the disease which made the nineteenth century its own, appearing from obscurity to devastate Europe repeatedly in the years between 1830 and the 1920s. Six pandemics spread fear and alarm, terrible illness and horrible death, across the Continent before 1900,1 distorting the true demographic significance of the disease and deflecting both contemporary and historical attention from the indigenous "diseases of society".2 Epidemic cholera had its origins in India; for Europe it was only an invader, as plague had been originally. In its status as invader, and in the magnitude of its geographical range, lay its impact and its influence on nineteenth-century society. More than thirty years ago, Asa Briggs drew attention to the international significance of cholera, and stressed the need for comparative examination of responses to cholera in different countries and in different epidemics.3 Although the disease has since attracted much historical attention, this has been largely concentrated on individual epidemics (notably that of 1830-32), and on contemporary debates about the causes of the disease.4 It is only recently that studies which recognize and stimulate consideration of the wider European cholera experience of the period 1830-1900 have begun to appear, and the later history of the disease in Europe remains largely unexplored.5 Both the pattern of local responses to the later outbreaks, and the processes involved in cholera's gradual withdrawal from the Continent, merit investigation, as does the wider context of the development of * Anne Hardy, MA, D.Phil., Wellcome Institute for the History ofMedicine, 183 Euston Road, London NW I 2BE.

INDIANA LAW JOURNAL Vol. VI MAY, 1931 No. 8 STATUTORY RULES AND ORDERS ERNEST R. BALTZELL* The rules and orders of federal and state administrative offi- cials made in the exercise of authority delegated by Congress and state legislatures have, in recent years, become an important part of our law. As the functions of government have increased new administrative departments,, commissions, boards and bu- reaus have been created. New and important powers have been conferred upon administrative officials. The exercise of these powers has resulted in a body of rules, regulations and orders comparable in volume and in importance, in many instances, to the enactments of Congress and state legislatures. This body of law has been called "administrative legislation"' and the power exercised in making it has been frequently referred to as "quasi-legislative." In Great Britain a similar body of law has developed and is collected in an official publication called "Statutory Rules and Orders." 2 This body of law in Great Britain has been described as "Delegated Legislation."' 3 The Riglements d'Administration Publique represent in France similar rules and orders.

  • Political Institutions and Private Property

Cole Indiana University School of Law at Indianapolis This working paper site is hosted by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress) and may not be commercially reproduced without the publisher's permission. http://law.bepress.com/alea/15th/bazaar/art20 Copyright c 2005 by the author. POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS AND PRIVATE PROPERTY Daniel H. Cole1 INTRODUCTION Is constitutional judicial review necessary to protect private property rights? Nearly all American jurists, since James Madison, have thought the answer to this question both obvious and incontestible: in the absence of judicial review, federal and state governments would trample private property rights into dust. Theoretical and historical support for this presumption are thin. In fact, positive political-economic theory predicts that political institutions will substantially protect private property rights. Historical evidence from the United Kingdom and several of the United States strongly supports that theory, and casts doubt on the extreme form of distrust of democratic regulations represented, for example, by the judicial opinions of Justice Scalia and the scholarly writings of Richard Epstein.
