Introduction As noted in a number of previous articles,1 much of our criminal law is very antiquated. In part, this is due to many obsolete pieces of criminal legislation - often of great age. Also, there still exist a number of common law offences. These should be modernised and placed in statutory form. In respect of one of these common law offences, this article looks at the offence of misconduct in a judicial - or a public - office. In analysing this offence, regard may be had to the following legal texts: E Coke, Institutes of the Laws of England (1628-41);2 W Hawkins, A Treatise of the Pleas of the Crown (1716-1824);3 M Hale, The History of the Pleas of the Crown (published 1736, written 1640’s);4 W Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-9);5 WO Russell, A Treatise on Crimes and Misdemeanors (1819-1964);6 W Archbold, Criminal Pleading, Evidence and Practice (1822-2014);7 Halsbury, Laws of England.8 It may be noted, in respect of this offence, that - apart from Archbold, Halsbury and Blackstone’s Criminal Procedure9 - modern criminal texts contain no (or very little) analysis of this offence.10 Reference may also be 1 A series of articles by the author has reviewed outdated criminal legislation.

LORD MELBOURNE IV. MARRIAGE V. LORD PALMERSTON VI. LAST YEARS OF THE PRINCE CONSORT VII. WIDOWHOOD VIII. MR. GLADSTONE AND LORD BEACONSFIELD IX. OLD AGE X. THE END BIBLIOGRAPHY QUEEN VICTORIA page 1 / 282 CHAPTER I. ANTECEDENTS I On November 6, 1817, died the Princess Charlotte, only child of the Prince Regent, and heir to the crown of England. Her short life had hardly been a happy one. By nature impulsive, capricious, and vehement, she had always longed for liberty; and she had never possessed it. She had been brought up among violent family quarrels, had been early separated from her disreputable and eccentric mother, and handed over to the care of her disreputable and selfish father. When she was seventeen, he decided to marry her off to the Prince of Orange; she, at first, acquiesced; but, suddenly falling in love with Prince Augustus of Prussia, she determined to break off the engagement. This was not her first love affair, for she had previously carried on a clandestine correspondence with a Captain Hess. Prince Augustus was already married, morganatically, but she did not know it, and he did not tell her. While she was spinning out the negotiations with the Prince of Orange, the allied sovereign--it was June, 1814--arrived in London to celebrate their victory. Among them, in the suite of the Emperor of Russia, was the young and handsome Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg.
