21391Without place or date. English late eighteenth century. 2pp foolscap 8vo. On the rectos of the leaves of a bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. On laid paper with indistinct watermark. The context of the document with the capitalisation and spelling 'mechanick' 'shou'd' 'Publick' 'tyed down' 'lookt' 'Profitt' points to a late eighteenth-century origin certainly before the Speenhamland System and Michael Nolan's 1805 'Treatise of the Laws for the Relief and Settlement of the Poor'. No title or heading. A forthright document whose rhetorical tone suggests that it was intended for public delivery. The author asserts that '3 fourths of the People now upon the poor List are such poor as shou'd not be relieved Namely the loose Profligate and those who do not like work. If this is the Case the public loose sic near another Million by relieving so many who shou'd work'. The cost of poor relief he claims all 'falls upon the Landed Interest'. He does not however 'Wish that our Poor Laws were all abolish'd as amended that ever Man shou'd have a Liberty of living where he please'd which would be always where he could get a living best.' The document begins: 'The Plan of the Poor Laws of England tho Calculated upon the Principles of Humanity and Charity are far from answering the Salutary purposes intended. For tho the Lame the Blind the Impotent and Aged are amply provided for and I might add the Drones and those who do not chose to work. Yet the Poor Labourer the little Farmer and the Mechanick are under great Restraints and Difficulties on Account of their Settlement being tyed down to a particular Parish where they find it very difficult to get their living and yet oftentimes cant get a Certificate to remove to another Parish where there is great Probability they may Have Work enough and live better.' The author expands on his view with reference to 'a poor Man who is not of ability to Rent 10£ P Ann' 'the Industrious who mean to Maintain Themselves by Labour' and 'the Interest of the Landed Man'. He notes the 'hardship' that 'lies upon the Man of Ability to Rent 10£ a Year' who 'removes from the Place of his Settlement and Rents 8 or 9 A Year in another Parish. He is there lookt upon as a sort of a Charge to that Parish as they cant Tax him to the Parish Rates without makeing him a Settlement and therfore oftentimes procure him to be removed'. Elsewhere he asks: 'Do not we now and then see a Shop keeper in a Country Village who is daily pillaging the Poor by selling his Good to them in very small Quantities at 50 P Cent Profitt during the Time of the Execution of that Office turn Advocate for the poor and plead for an Increase of their Allowance and this I don't wonder at as the more he can get Allowed them the more Profitt comes To his Till'. Towards the end he states: 'We all know that the Poor only live from Hand to Mouth that when Corn is at the Dearest they make a Shift to live and when it is Cheapest they save nothing at the Weeks End if it is very low they will perhaps work only 4 Days out of 6. they have no Idea of laying any thing by and I fear what Incourages them in their way of Thinking is the certainty they have of themselves and Family being maintained at the Expence of the Parish when Sickness or old Age comes on'. He states: 'I Believe there is no Nation in the World have got a poor Law but England and I will venture to Assert that there is no Nation where Charity and Benevolence more abound'. He ends with the proposal 'That one publick Workhouse Infirmary and House of Maintainance should be Erected in the Center of Every County where all the Sick Lame and Aged should be sent whenever they can't take Care of themselves to be there maintained taken Care of & set to work as their Particular Circumstances require.'

The Corpus Iuris Civilis or the Justinian Code was the result of Emperor Justinians desire that existing Roman law be collected into a simple and clear system of laws or code. Tribonian a legal minister under Justinian lead a group of scholars in an effort to codify existing Roman law. The result was the first Justinian Code completed in 529. This code was later expanded to include Justinians own laws as well as two additional books on areas of the law. In 534 the Justinian Code made up of the Code the Digest and the Institutes was completed. Justinians collections were in ancient times always copied separately and afterwards they were printed in the same way. This part of the Institutiones falls under the whole Corpus Iuris Civilis is an early example before the unification under this heading. The present name of Justinians codification was only adopted in the 16th century when it was printed in 1583 by Dionysius Gothofredus. The legal thought behind the Corpus Juris Civilis served as the backbone of the single largest law reform of the modern age the Napoleonic Code which marked the abolition of feudalism. <br/><br/> [F.

This edition is also noteworthy for the inclusion of Coke's complete prefaces. Sir Edward Coke 1552-1643 was considered to be the greatest legal practitioner of his day. Written between 1572 and 1616 The Reports are not reports in the conventional sense but highly detailed anthologies of precedents organized according to the cases they consider. In each instance Coke assembled a large body of cases outlined their arguments and explained the reasons for the judgment using it as a basis for a statement of general principles. They are in effect a series of treatises on the points of law adjudged and not merely notes for citation. Taken together The Reports form the most extensive and detailed treatment of Common Law pleading that had yet appeared. A work of immense authority it was often cited as The Reports there being no need to mention the author's name. His accounts especially of pleadings were applauded for both their clarity and usefulness as stylistic models for students. And his selection of cases cited frequently in subsequent years has served as the starting point for numerous decisions. He also attracted some powerful enemies however principally James I who was angered by some of his opinions concerning royal prerogative. Coke's refusal to retract them and apologize to the. unknown

It provides an unmatched historical look at final court rulings party rights and legal equity.

Landmark cases-including famous Supreme Court opinions on the "mutuality of estoppel" like Parklane Hosiery Co. v. Shore-explicitly cite this specific fifth edition of Freeman to anchor their modern decisions. Far from a mere historical relic Freeman's 5th edition remains a living force in American jurisprudence frequently cited by the U.S. Supreme Court and state appellate courts to resolve complex modern disputes over res judicata claim preclusion and the finality of judicial actions.
