This landmark decision established the legal precedent exempting Catholic priests from disclosing evidence relating to criminal activities learned through the Sacrament of Confession. "The case against Daniel Phillips for receiving stolen property hung on the prosecution's attempt to extract testimony from Anthony Kohlmann a Catholic priest who may have heard Phillips's confession. The extensive 'Report' p. 5-114 gives a good general account of confidential conversation between defendants and religious leaders doctors lawyers spouses and other persons. Although the district attorney claimed to be reluctant to pursue the matter Catholic authorities had asked that the question be settled before the court. The court recognized the inviolability of the confessional and Phillips was acquitted due to lack of evidence.": Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law 14043. unknown books‎

Piers 6th Baronet of Tristernagh Abbey was an Anglo-Irish baronet and a notable rake. His notoriety dates from his 1807 adultery trial involving Elizabeth Georgiana Lady Cloncurry the wife of an old school friend and creditor Lord Cloncurry. The trial established that Piers had seduced Lady Cloncurry as part of a bet. Lord Cloncurry was awarded the enormous sum of 20000 in damages the largest award granted in a criminal conversation case. The scandal attracted a great deal of attention and secured Piers a footnote in history. This case was the subject of John Betjemin's poem Sir John Piers and a 1978 BBC documentary The Bold Bad Baronet. COPAC locates 1 copy National Library of Scotland.

Light soiling some fading to spine chipping to edges of lettering piece. Light browning to text some soiling library inkstamps and early owner signature David Hilton to title page library marks to verso. $1500. This appears to be a reissue of an account published the same year in Edinburgh. Porteous was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged after soldiers under his command accidentally killed six people while trying to control a mob during an execution. Under pressure from Prime Minister Walpole his execution was deferred pending further investigation. Angered at what was perceived as English interference a mob dragged Porteous from prison and lynched him. More than a murder case this was a highly charged referendum on Scottish autonomy. The events surrounding this case are treated in the early chapters of Sir Walter Scott's novel The Heart of Mid-Lothian 1818. The carefully written manuscript notes appear to have been laid into this pamphlet. It discusses a 1734 Act of Parliament calling for the punishment of the people who lynched Porteous.

It was during this time that he took his first steps toward his future vocation. While stationed in Canada from 1784 to 1791 he found that several officers were stealing provisions. Moreover there behavior established a system of corruption that influenced the other ranks. Cobbett collected evidence against these officers. After he returned to England and left the army in 1791 he presented his evidence to the Secretary of War. A court- martial of his former officers was convened but no one appeared to prosecute the case. The charges were dismissed and the defendants acquitted.

In 1814 Berenger a Prussian aristocrat posing as an aide to Britain's ambassador to Russia announced that Napoleon had been killed by Russian Cossacks. This news caused stock prices to rise. After discovering that Berenger's news was a hoax which caused prices to drop investigators discovered that six men had profited substantially from the false information. All were alleged to have been conspirators with Berenger. One of these men was Cochrane a Member of Parliament an admiral and one of the greatest naval heroes of the Napoleonic Wars. The case against him was weak and circumstantial but he was to the surprise of many convicted sentenced to 12 months in prison fined 1000. and ordered to stand in the pillory opposite the Royal Exchange for one hour.

Only edition. Mary Saurin Sister Mary Scholastica Joseph brought a case against her superior and another nun for assault and conspiracy to drive her from her convent and have her expelled from the order. Known as "the great convent trial" it was a sensational case that fueled contemporary prejudices against Catholics monastic orders and women. These themes are apparent in the Solicitor-General's opening remarks. This case shows "what women were capable of when they shut themselves up from their kind and did violence to the instincts of their nature and the great though mean and petty cruelty they could wreak upon a sister in the name of a religion of love" 2. The jury found in favor of the defendants on the counts of assault and for the plaintiff on the counts of libel and conspiracy to have her expelled from the convent.
