Book Description
Excerpt from Reports of Criminal Cases, Tried in the Municipal Court of the City of Boston Before Peter Oxenbridge Thacher, Judge of That Court From 1823 to 1843 The following volume has been prepared at the suggestion of several professional gentlemen, who were acquainted with the nature and importance of many of the questions decided in the Municipal Court of the city of Boston, during the period in which the late Judge Thacher presided over that tribunal. It has been thought that a selection from the Opinions and charges delivered by him, during the long period of his judicial labors, could hardly fail to be valuable as a contribution to criminal law in the United States; as well from its containing the results of an experience of twenty years exclusively devoted to that branch of the law, as from the extensive jurisdiction of the court over which he presided. It has been thought, also, that this volume may have a. General interest, as a record of the principal criminal cases which have been subjects of interest or excitement to the people of the city of Boston, during that time; from its local reminiscences, and from the light which it may throw upon the history of the city, during that period. The Municipal Court was established in the year 1799, on account of the great delays and expenses in administering justice in the town of Boston. The jurisdiction was at first very limited. In 1812, it was extended, concurrently with the jurisdiction of the Supreme Judicial Court, to all criminal cases in the county of Suffolk, not capital. Appeals to the Sn preme Court were originally allowed generally, after wards much limited, and by the statute of 1839, c. 161, were abolished, except on questions of law, to be car ried up by exceptions filed of record. The court had jurisdiction also of cases of lunatics to be sent to the Worcester State Asylum, and cases of additional sentences to be imposed on second and third comers to the State Prison, convicted in any of the courts of the Commonwealth. The first judge of the court was George Richards Minot, who held the office from its establishment to his death in 1802. Thomas Dawes was then appointed, and presided from that time to the year 1822, when he resigned. Josiah Quincy was the next judge, and held the office from January, 1822, to his resignation in May, 1823.

New Histories of Gun Rights and Regulation
Author: Joseph Blocher
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197748473
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
The US Supreme Court recently held that the constitutionality of modern gun laws depends on whether they are "consistent with this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation." This landmark judicial decision, which cited an essay in this collection, made it ever more crucial to be clear about what the "historical tradition" entails. The scope of the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms, and accordingly the government's power to regulate firearms in the interest of public safety, hangs in the balance. Drawing on original research and sources not available to earlier Supreme Court opinions, New Histories of Gun Rights and Regulations brings together various methodological approaches and highlights issues in firearms law that have been previously underexamined. Its contributors, including distinguished historians, social scientists, and legal scholars, offer valuable new insight into the place of guns in American law and society. This groundbreaking new volume illuminates how history and constitutional law interact, suggesting concrete answers to some live legal controversies. A vital contribution to a vibrant debate, New Histories of Gun Rights and Regulations is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the scope of the Second Amendment--a right whose breadth is frequently defined by its historical treatment.
