Retirement village living equals HAGN#027/278 History of the Judicial System in WA LAW is a fundamental part of every society. The history of law in this state commenced with the proclamation of freedom and security the Swan River Settlement in June 1829. Admiral Sir James Stirling proclaimed that His Majesty’s Authority now applied over the colony and ‘all persons whom it may concern KINGSLEY RETIREMENT VILLAGE: 186 Twickenham Drive, Kingsley $315,000 should obey all legal commands and regulations’. Stirling was appointed as Lieutenant Governor of the colony and established the judicial system under the authority of the British Secretary of State for the Colonies. During the  rst months of the colony, Stirling was the sole arbitrator on civil rights and legal matters. As the issues of petty crime and drunkenness within the colony grew, Stirling decided to appoint a magistracy, consisting of eight justices of the peace. These justices, including one legally trained chairman, were engaged to address all justice matters from administration to handing down punishments for crime. From 1830 criminal matters in the colony were decided at either the Courts of Petty Sessions for minor offences, or the Courts of Quarter Sessions for more serious crimes. The court itself was based on the English Court of Quar- ter Sessions, however, unlike the English courts, the colony court was given the power to hear special matters and could be called to sit more often than the traditional four times each year. Juries were introduced into the colony at the  rst sitting of the court in July 1830 under rules drawn up by the justices. The 1832 Act decreed all males aged between 21 and 60 years who owned real estate to the value of £50 or personal estate of at least £100 were liable for jury service. There was however some exceptions: court of cials, civil servants, clergymen, legal practitioners, medical men, aliens, criminals and justices of the peace were excluded from service. Stirling continued to be the arbitrator in the Civil Court until 1832 when the newly established Legislative Council enacted legislation continuing the criminal Court of Quarter Sessions and establishing a civil court, thus providing regu- lation for the criminal and civil courts. By 1834 there were enough cases to justify the court opening every month. For many years the court was held in the Anglican Church (known as Rush Church because Embrace a new way of life... of the roof material) somewhere near the corner of Irwin Kingsley Retirement Village provides comfort, security and and Hay Streets where the District and Central Law Courts are today. companionship in a pleasant, relaxed environment in the In 1837, the Swan River Colony’s purpose-built court prestigious suburb of Kingsley. house was opened in what is now known as Stirling Gar- The village is divided into exclusive cul de sacs with dens.
