The Development Of The English Law Of Conspiracy Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Development of the English Law of Conspiracy The following pages contain the results of a study of the English law relating to criminal conspiracy, begun in the spring of 1906, and continued with little interruption until May, 1908. The author's purpose has been to present an exhaustive discussion of the subject based upon an examination of all the available material extant. Accordingly, he has considered every relevant statute and case, from the earliest to the latest, which a careful search through ancient and modern law writings has enabled him to bring to light. There is scarcely a more complex topic in the entire domain of British national jurisprudence than that of illegal combinations. The law relating to them has been more than ordinarily the creature of accident and special conditions. The resultant contradiction and confusion introduced into the cases renders extremely difficult the task of extracting the underlying principles, tracing their rise and growth, and giving an intelligible account of the causes which have determined their subsequent history. The author desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to Professor W. W. Willoughby for the inspiration which made the work possible, as well as for his helpful suggestions and unfailing friendly interest.

Excerpt from The History of Conspiracy and Abuse of Legal Procedure It is hoped, then, that the Cambridge Studies in English Legal History, by making some contribution to the knowledge of the history of English law as a world-wide and not merely as an insular system, may be an agency in the fulfilment of the several functions of legal history. Fortunate it is that there are already in progress other series of publications of texts and of essays which have as their purpose the encouragement of the study and the advancement of the knowledge of English legal history. The series inaugurated by the publication of the present volume will not conflict with the valuable work of the Selden Society nor with that of other societies and scholars. On the contrary, the aim is to supplement the work that is being done by other agencies. Any success which this series of Cambridge Studies in English Legal History may have in making its own special contribution to learning must be due to the scholarly labours of the writers of monographs and the editors of texts. From scholars who value the studies to which this series is devoted and who em visage the useful functions which such studies should serve may there come, therefore, both guidance and co-operation. Only by these means can the high standard set by Dr Winfield in this first volume Of the series be maintained.

Detailed historical account of the earlier known abuses of legal procedure

Excerpt from The Present Law of Abuse of Legal Procedure This book is supplementary to the author's History of Conspiracy and Abuse of Legal Procedure published this year by the Cambridge University Press in the series entitled Cambridge Studies in English Legal History. As was pointed out in the Preface to that book, the scope of the series made it necessary to split into two books what was originally intended to be one volume. In general, the line of cleavage between the history and the present law was tolerably well marked, but in Embracery, Misconduct of Jurors, and Frivolous Arrests, it was so blurred as to make separation impracticable. The present law relating to these topics w therefore be found in Chapters VII and VIII of the History of Co zracy and Abuse of Legal Procedure. The law relating to Perjury is so easily accessible in the text books ou Criminal Law, and Contempt of Court has been so thoroughly explored by Mr Oswald, that the inclusion of them in this book would have added nothing to it except bulk.
