Established in 1436 this institution-known officially as the Court Leet View of Frankpledge and Court of Record of our Sovereign Lord the King for his Hundred or Wapentake of Salford-was remarkably resilient. While most ancient hundred courts faded into obscurity the Salford court survived via various jurisdictional modifications well into the twentieth century before it was formally abolished in 1971. Administered by the Hereditary Steward of the Earls of Sefton its jurisdiction covered an area that today comprises part of Greater Manchester. Our archive dates from a period when the court's scope had been restricted primarily to lower-level personal actions functioning much like a modern American small claims court. Together they offer an intimate granular look at the mechanics of mid-nineteenth-century English local justice. It consists of: Jury Lists & Summonses: Focusing on the Township of Pendleton Salford the two jury lists detail local men who based on strict property requirements were deemed eligible or ineligible to serve. Steward's Letter: A manuscript letter dated December 31 1838 written by William Eaton Hall Steward of the Earl of Sefton to the local law firm of Hulme and Andrews. On the Earl's behalf Hall inquires if the firm would be willing to assume the management of the court. Annotated Envelope: Postmarked October 19 1862 this envelope bears a detailed manuscript note indicating that the enclosed letter now lost was a request from a local citizen begging to be dismissed from jury duty. Broadsides and Receipts: the broadsides describe upcoming court sessions; the receipts reco. unknown

DEBATES IN THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES ON THE BILL FOR REPEALING THE LAW "FOR THE MORE CONVENIENT ORGANIZATION OF THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES;" DURING THE FIRST SESSION OF THE SEVENTH CONGRESS. AND A LIST OF THE YEAS AND NAYS ON THAT INTERESTING SUBJECT

1802ref. WRCAM24229Albany: Printed for Collier and Stockwell 1802. 796pp. Contemporary calf morocco label stamped in gilt. Calf scuffed and worn front hinge cracking rear hinge tender. Light even tanning; foxing. Good. An important - and possibly the most extensive - record of Congressional debates concerning the nature of the Judiciary and its establishment as an independent branch of the government in the wake of the Judiciary Act of 1801. Two versions of these debates were printed in 1802: one in Philadelphia; and the present Albany New York version which bears imprints by two different sets of printers. This Albany version differs from the Philadelphia printing in that it includes both the Senate and House debates. It also appears to have been edited from a pro- Jeffersonian viewpoint mentioning in the preface that the "judicial power has armed itself in defence of its own supposed rights and independence." The election of 1800 represented the end of Federalist control of the Executive branch after twelve years. On the eve of Jefferson's inauguration President Adams nominated and the Senate confirmed John Marshall as chief justice of the Supreme Court. In addition Congress quickly passed a law reducing the number of Supreme Court justices to five took away their Circuit Court duties and reorganized the Circuit Courts with sixteen new justices all of whom were nominated and confirmed just weeks prior to the inauguration. The intention was to keep the Judiciary as an adjunct of the Federalists. The Federalists waited about a year to organize and one of the first measures introduced in the Senate in 1802 was a repeal of the Act of 1801 at Jefferson's insistence. The Senate deadlocked and Vice President Burr cast the deciding vote against the measure but the act was repealed after a subsequent vote. The Supreme Court went back to having six justices all of whom headed one of six U.S. Circuit Courts. Repeal of the 1801 Judiciary Act helped reduce Democrat-Republican influence in the U.S. courts; but as with so many triumphs this victory came with an unanticipated result: one minor aspect of the 1801 Act was the appointment by the President of the justices of the peace for Washington and Alexandria. On March 2 Adams nominated and the next day the Senate confirmed forty-two justices but four of the commissions had not been delivered by midnight when Adams' term expired. One of these was to William Marbury who sued after Jefferson ordered Secretary of State Madison to withhold the commission. The case went to the Supreme Court in 1803 where Marbury lost primarily because the Court had just emerged from the Federalist-Democrat-Republican political thicket and a new struggle with the executive branch was to be avoided. However the case also included a hidden doorway through which Marshall hustled to declare the independence of the Judiciary from the blatant partisanship of recent years and claim its equality with the other two branches of government. In addition the Court ruled that Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 which authorized such a writ was contrary to the Constitution and therefore invalid. It was the first time the Supreme Court declared a law of Congress void but this was a power the Court itself possessed with the greatest timidity. This was the only case while Marshall was chief justice in which the Court specifically reversed an Act of Congress. The concept would not be employed again by the full court until the Dred Scott decision fifty-four years later. COHEN 1203. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 3271. SABIN 19101 variant imprint.

Arranging the United States Judiciary An important - and possibly the most extensive - record of Congressional debates concerning the nature of the Judiciary and its establishment as an independent branch of the government in the wake of the Judiciary Act of 1801.

DEBATES IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES ON THE JUDICIARY DURING THE FIRST SESSION OF THE SEVENTH CONGRESS; ALSO THE SEVERAL NOTIONS RESOLUTIONS AND VOTES TAKEN UPON THAT MOMENTOUS SUBJECT; AND A COMPLETE LIST OF THE YEAS AND NAYS AS ENTERED ON THE JOURNALS.

1802ref. 32306Philadelphia: for E. Bronson 1802. The Crucial Debates over the Judiciary Act of 1802 An important record of the evolution of American law and the development of judicial independence in the early republic. This is one of two printings of the debates over the repeal of the Judiciary Act of 1801. This version is edited from a Federalist perspective with critical comments on the debates as recorded in the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER an organ of the Jeffersonian Republicans. The debate over the repeal of the Judiciary Act of 1801 addressed issues of judicial review and the role size and authority of the judiciary branch issues which led ultimately to the landmark case of Marbury v. Madison. The 1801 act passed by a Federalist Congress reduced the number of Supreme Court justices from six to five created new circuits and allowed outgoing President John Adams to appoint several new federal judges the so-called "midnight judges." Jefferson opposed the 1801 act and though it was overturned by the Judiciary Act of 1802 the federal judiciary remained fundamentally unaltered. The Marbury v. Madison decision of 1803 solidified the notion of judicial review of legislation and elevated the Supreme Court to a level of equality with the executive and legislative branches. A vital document exemplifying the debates over the judiciary in the Federalist era and emblematic of the political skirmishes of the day. 2324pp. Half title.

Bavaria, under Maximilian I (1598-1651), was a country of around 1 million inhabitants, with agriculture and salt production (a ducal monopoly) being the dominant sectors of the economy. It became a key player in the events leading up to the Thirty Years War. In 1608, Bavaria occupied and annexed the hitherto free Imperial and Lutheran city of Donauworth. The action caused the Protestant princes and cities to found the Protestant Union. Bavaria then concluded an alliance with the Austrian and Hungarian Estates. In 1609 Bavaria became the leading force in the newly founded (Catholic) Holy League, an alliance formed against the Protestant Union. Consolidating his governance, Duke Maximilian, in 1616 introduced a new Bavarian Landrecht (Law Code), which was a compilation, reworking, and summation of all the laws and codes. Includes the codes of: Judicial Procedure; Court Laws; State Laws; Police Law; Forestry, hunting, and fishing regulations; Etc. It became a widespread the model for law and legislation for over 150 years. Stobbe II, 366. Very Scarce. Only a handful of copies are recorded in U.S. libraries. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! CHEST 2/1
