1776ref. 231860Printed T. Wright Essex Street Strand; and Sold by G. Kearsley No 46 near Serjeant's Inn Fleet Street London London 1776. Fourth Edition. Unbound Pages. Very Good Condition. The unprecedented prosecution of a reigning monarch unfolds before the High Court of Justice. Charles I challenges the courts legitimacy while the proceedings lay bare the ideological gulf between Crown and Parliament. This defining moment of the Civil Wars captures the collision of sovereignty law and revolutionary resolve that reshaped the English state. 30 PAGES printed in double columns. A genuine 1776 printing taken from the authoritative Complete Collection of State Trials. Originally compiled to serve both as a legal reference and a vehicle of political discourse the State Trials series shaped contemporary and subsequent understanding of justice authority and dissent. The generously sized sheets on which these trials are printed offer particular pleasure to the eye and hand bearing clear signs of their handmade origin: chain lines and wire impressions from the mould are readily visible some pages display watermarks and the paper varies subtly in thickness all characteristic of 18th century rag paper. This particular trial report has been preserved in a modern card cover prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 30 x 47 cms.

A well-preserved copy. $450. First and only edition. This trial concerns the only time a mutiny plot was discovered on a U.S. Navy ship. "Alexander Slidell Mackenzie was a career naval officer and author of many books. In 1842 while he was commander of the brig Somers Mackenzie executed three members of his crew for allegedly plotting a mutiny. The three Philip Spencer Samuel Cromwell and Elisha Small were executed without a hearing. The incident aroused much public interest and criticism since Spencer was the son of the secretary of war John C. Spencer. Although a court of inquiry cleared Mackenzie the secretary of the navy charged him with murder. A court martial held at Mackenzie's request found him innocent" Cohen. Because it was the first and as time would show only attempted mutiny in the history of the U.S. Navy this case attracted a fair amount of subsequent attention most recently Philip McFarland's 1985 account Sea Dangers: The Affair of the Somers.

Moderate toning light soiling to edges a few faint creases printer's flaw and clean tear to right column no loss to legibility. Rare. $3000. Ashford v. Thornton dealt with the aftermath of the murder of Mary Ashford in 1817. Abraham Thornton who had seen and been intimate with Ashford the previous night was tried for rape and murder but acquitted of both charges due to a lack of evidence and inconsistencies in the prosecutor's case. Public outcry around his acquittal led to Mary's brother William invoking an "appeal of murder." This uncommon legal practice allowed a retrial of a defendant acquitted for murder but crucially gave the defendant the right to trial by battle. Thornton invoked that right. After extensive proceedings in the Court of King's Bench the court found that he was eligible to do so. Our broadside documents the final hearing in which Ashford declined to battle with Thornton and withdrew his appeal. Thornton was given a pro forma arraignment and released. The case resulted in the abolition of appeals by murder and thus the end of trial by battle. This broadside is rare and appears to be unrecorded. No copies located on OCLC or Library Hub.
