C DPM Records of Hull Magistrates Court C.1836-1995
Hull History Centre: Records of Hull Magistrates Court C DPM Records of Hull Magistrates Court c.1836-1995 Historical background: Magistrates courts are the lowest level of courts in Enlgand, and is where alomst all criminal proceedings start. Hull was first granted the right to appoint its own magistrates, also known as Justices of the Peace (JPs), to deal with the summary cases, in 1440. More serious offences or indictable crimes would be passed to the quarter sessions or to the county assize, for capital cases. Despite the abolition of the old municipal corporation in 1836, the reformed borough was still able to select its own magistrates and hold its own courts, sometimes also known as police courts or petty sessions. This system continued until the reforms of the 1971 Courts Act, where the magistrate’s courts remained at lowest level, with the quarter sessions replaced by crown courts. The magistrate’s courts could also hear some civil cases, when county courts were established under the County Court Act 1846. They had jurisdiction over the recovery of debts and civil actions up to certain financial limits, including bankruptcy. Custodial History: The first group of records transferred to the City Archives were selected by the Clerk to the Magistrates at the Hull and Holderness Magistrates Courts in 1986, with another series of licensing records, C DPM/24 and C DPM/43-44, transferred in September 1993. C DPM/47 was transferred in January 2008 from the Hull County Court. C DPM/5/10- 12, C DPM/7/37-39, C DPM/24/2-5 and C DPM/48-49 were transferred in December 2016 from the Hull and Holderness Courts. -

A Modern-Day Requirement for Co-Ordinated Covert Action
A Modern-Day Requirement for Co-ordinated Covert Action Lessons from the UK’s Intelligence History Rory Cormac, Michael S Goodman and Tom Holman Covert action can be an important weapon in a state’s arsenal. It is, however, inherently controversial and risky. Rory Cormac, Michael S Goodman and Tom Holman argue that when considering covert action, Whitehall should look to lessons from the recent past. The UK has long used covert action, and how best to manage and co-ordinate such sensitive activity was for many decades a key preoccupation of its policy-makers and politicians. Given the secrecy involved, these lessons, and the machinery created, have been lost to history. Yet with covert action seemingly now back on the agenda, previous experience and hard-learnt lessons have assumed renewed importance. The history of Britain’s security and intelligence community is long, complicated and, by necessity, secretive. A fundamental feature that has emerged, however, is Whitehall’s love of a co-ordinating committee: whether providing all-source intelligence assessment, such as the longstanding Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), or providing a top-level setting in which to discuss security challenges, such as the National Security Council (NSC). The actual process of co-ordination and discussion undertaken by such committees is often as important as the outcome. It helps provide consensus (if not uniform agreement), ensures that a range of factors or voices are adequately considered, and guarantees the involvement of and interaction between the intelligence and policy communities. Despite a recent spate of official and authorised histories on British intelligence, important gaps in the literature remain.1 Particularly noteworthy among these is Whitehall’s approach to covert action. -
Guarding Mps' Integrity in the UK and Australia David Solomon
Guarding MPs’ integrity in the UK and Australia Dr David Solomon A.M., Queensland Integrity Commissioner Following the 2010 federal election, Prime Minister Julia Gillard signed several agreements with various independents and the Greens that included undertakings to introduce a Code of Conduct for members of the Commonwealth Parliament and appoint a Parliamentary Integrity Commissioner who, under the supervision of the House and Senate Privileges Committees, would have functions that would include providing advice to MPs and Senators and investigating complaints against them. The proposals have not been implemented at the time of writing but are still alive. These and other integrity proposals were part of the policy agendas of the Greens and some of the independent MPs either before the election, or immediately afterwards. It is interesting to note that Parliament took its time to consider and debate their adoption: that there was no urgency suggests that there was little external pressure to settle the issues that had been raised. These proposals were not a response to public outrage over any scandalous events, of which there have been very few at the national level in Australia. The same can be said about the slow implementation by the Baillieu Government in Victoria of changes to that State‘s integrity system. While the new Coalition Government had policies about these matters going into the election in 2010 it has been under little external pressure to put them into effect with any degree of urgency. Recent history suggests that changes to integrity systems, particularly when they directly affect Ministers and Members of Parliament, are undertaken or expedited mainly in the wake of either public scandals or strongly growing concern at a diminution in public confidence about government, parliament and parliamentarians. -
