1696Sm. folio, 3 leaves, BLACK-LETTER throughout, with fine woodblock arms of William III on front cover and woodblock illuminated capital on first page of text; disbound, uncut, a remarkably crisp, clean copy. 8 Gulielmi III.The death of Queen Mary in 1695 isolated William as an object of Jacobite hatred; the motive for his assassination being the stronger since his death would no longer leave her in occupation of the throne. In February James II moved to Calais and the Jacobite conspirators moved to action. As William drove home to Kensington Palace from his weekly outing in Richmond Park he had to pass along a narrow and muddy lane near Turnham Green. Here he was to be surrounded and murdered. This was the most serious of the several plots against him, but the plotters' security was lax and on 24 February William announced in parliament knowledge both of the plan and of the proposed invasion from France.This act arraigns Sir George Barclay and a number of lesser Jacobites including Johnson alias Harrison, Durant alias Durance, Michael Hare, Major George Holmes, Philip Hanford alias Browne, Richard Richardson, John Maxwell, Bryerly, Plowden and Hungate.Conspirators already languishing in Newgate are named as Counter, [Major ] John Bernardi, Robert Cassells, Robert Meldrum, James Chambers and Robert Blackbourne.

réf. 107603London George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode 1847. . Folio 30 x 19 cm; woodcut royal coat of arms single leaf; a few small tears to upper margin not affecting text unbound. An act of Parliament confirming the validity of 'Marriages amongst the People called Quakers and amongst Persons professing the Jewish Religion'. The statute was drafted in response to the notorious 1844 case of R vs. Millis in which the House of Lords held that all marriages conducted without the presence of a member of clergy in holy orders were invalid in English common law. The effect was to throw doubt on the legitimacy of the marriages of all Jews and Quakers. William Christie 1816-874 the Liberal MP for Weymouth brought in a motion to dispel these concerns which was duly codified into law as 10 & 11 Vic. c.58. London, George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1847. unknown
réf. 107594London Charles Bill 1702. . Folio 27.5 x 17.5 cm; woodcut headpiece and initial black letter; single leaf from 'Anno Regni Annæ Reginæ Angliæ Scotiæ Franciæ & Hiberniæ primo. At the Parliament begun at Westminster the thirtieth day of December. 1701' acts of Parliament for the last year of the reign of William III and the first year of Anne; unbound; 453-454pp. An act of Parliament 'To the end that sufficient maintenance be provided and allowed for the children of Jewish parents who shall turn Protestants' p.453. The law arose from the curious case of Mary de Mendez Berta an eighteen-year-old who was disowned and expelled from the family home following her conversion to Protestantism. A petition was brought before Parliament in an attempt to make Mary's father Jacob de Mendez Berta pay for his daughter's upkeep after which it was resolved that a bill be produced to address her case. The resultant act had some effect in the eighteenth century and was considered by the Lord Chancellor Thomas Parker in the 1718 case of Vincent vs. Fernandez. Here it was found that the law could apply equally to the adult child of a Jewish parent in this instance a 44-year-old married woman who had been cut-out of her father's will. The law remained in effect until 1846 when it was repealed by the Religious Disabilities Act.

Woodcut coat of arms to the title page decorative woodcut initial to the first text page text in black letter. A very good copy with just a little toning and slight wear to the left-hand margin where once bound within a larger volume. An Act published in Public General Acts 1744-1745 enacting an amnesty for those who have engaged in the activity of smuggling and laying out punishments for those who continue to partake in the crime transportation or death. The statutes of 1745 are considered to be the leading statutes for smuggling law in eighteenth-century England as they made the greatest effort to convict offenders and to sentence those convicted to death. These statutes part of the 'Bloody Code' further extended the means by which a person could be convicted for smuggling and put to death without benefit of clergy although other lesser penalties most notably transportation remained the more common outcome.
