  • Vania Is Especi
    THE PUNISHMENT OF CRIME IN PROVINCIAL PENNSYLVANIA HE history of the punishment of crime in provincial Pennsyl- vania is especially interesting, not only as one aspect of the Tbroad problem of the transference of English institutions to America, a phase of our development which for a time has achieved a somewhat dimmed significance in a nationalistic enthusiasm to find the conditioning influence of our development in that confusion and lawlessness of our own frontier, but also because of the influence of the Quakers in the development df our law. While the general pat- tern of the criminal law transferred from England to Pennsylvania did not differ from that of the other colonies, in that the law and the courts they evolved to administer the law, like the form of their cur- rency, their methods of farming, the games they played, were part of their English cultural heritage, the Quakers did arrive in the new land with a new concept of the end of the criminal law, and proceeded immediately to give force to this concept by statutory enactment.1 The result may be stated simply. At a time when the philosophy of Hobbes justified any punishment, however harsh, provided it effec- tively deterred the occurrence of a crime,2 when commentators on 1 Actually the Quakers voiced some of their views on punishment before leaving for America in the Laws agreed upon in England, wherein it was provided that all pleadings and process should be short and in English; that prisons should be workhouses and free; that felons unable to make satisfaction should become bond-men and work off the penalty; that certain offences should be published with double satisfaction; that estates of capital offenders should be forfeited, one part to go to the next of kin of the victim and one part to the next of kin of the criminal; and that certain offences of a religious and moral nature should be severely punished.

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criminal law is very fragmented and that a considerable amount of the older law - especially the common law - is badly out of date.1 The purpose of this article is to consider the crime of public nuisance (also called common nuisance), a common law crime.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.

Bessler* ABSTRACT The Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, like the English Bill of Rights before it, safeguards against the infliction of “cruel and unusual punishments.” To better understand the meaning of that provision, this Article explores the concept of “unusual punishments” and its opposite, “usual punishments.” In particular, this Article traces the use of the “usual” and “unusual” punishments terminology in Anglo-American sources to shed new light on the Eighth Amendment’s Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause. The Article surveys historical references to “usual” and “unusual” punishments in early English and American texts, then analyzes the development of American constitutional law as it relates to the dividing line between “usual” and “unusual” punishments.

    THE Law of Crimes. By JOHN WILDER MAY, CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT, AND LATE PROSECUTING OFFICER FOR BOSTON. BOSTON: LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY. 1881. T M Copyright, 1880, By John Wilder Mat. 3332- 2_3 University Press : John Wilson and Son, Cambridge. PREFACE. In the following pages the author has endeavored to state briefly the general principles underlying the Criminal Law, and to define the several common- law crimes, and such statutory crimes — mala in se, and not merely mala prohibita or police regulations 1 — as may be said to be common statute crimes. The brevity of this treatise did not admit of a history of what the law has been, nor a discussion of what it ought to be ; but only a statement of what it is. In the cases cited will be found ample learning upon the first of these points. Digressions upon the second would be out of place in a book designed as a lawyer's and student's hand-book. The alphabetical arrangement has been adopted in the second chapter, as, on the whole, more convenient for the practising lawyer. The student, however, will perhaps find it to his advantage, on first peru- 1 On the question of the limitation of this power of police regu- lation, see 2 Kent's Com. 840; Com. v. Alger, 7 Cush.

  • Abolishing the Common Law Offence of Keeping a Disorderly House

Introduction A previous article has reviewed the law in relation to escape, prison breach and rescue1 which, it argues, should now be made statutory offences. This article looks at another common law offence - one of ‘keeping a disorderly house’- which, it is asserted, should be abolished, being obsolete. In medieval times - especially in London - this crime was designed to suppress brothels as well as other sexual conduct (such as adultery and fornication) which it was deemed appropriate for the criminal law to punish. Thus, in respect of the latter, it appears it was a London custom that a constable - on receipt of an information - had the legal right to enter a house where a person was suspected of committing adultery or fornication and ‘carry them to prison.’2 From ‘disorderly house’ being a reference to a place where socially unacceptable sexual activity was carried on, the concept was extended to cover common gaming houses. Also, to play houses (theatres),3 common inns and ‘common’ houses (that is, ones to which the public had access) where cock-fights were held; Since these places also tended to be venues for illicit sexual activity, it is understandable how they came to be embraced within the concept.
