Only edition. Full account of the several trials connected with this famous Massachusetts case by one of the accused. Daniel Webster served as one of the defense attorneys shortly after his return to private practice following his two terms in Congress. The respected and well-connected Major Goodridge's accusation of robbery against the witless low-life Kenniston brothers was supported by popular sentiment until Webster began his defence which meticulously unraveled the Major's story and succeeded in gaining the Kenniston's acquittal. The trial was an early landmark in Webster's legal career and his final address to the jury first printed here is considered a classic of Webster's oratory. It was later anthologized. Daniel Fletcher Webster 1818-1862 known as Fletcher Webster was Daniel Webster's eldest son. Chief Clerk of the U.S. State Department when his father was Secretary of State he commanded the 12th Massachusetts Infantry during the Civil War. He was killed at the Second Battle of Bull Run. We are unsure of the identity of Polly Webster. Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law 14017. unknown books

Murray was court-martialed for his mishandling of an engagement with Napoleon's army in Tarragona during the Peninsular War 1807-1814. A highly debated trial it resulted in Murray's acquittal of all charges except one: abandoning his cannon. That charge was later dismissed. Overall it seems that Murray's performance was marred by incompetence and cowardice. Many believed so at the time including Prince Regent George IV who denied Murray's petition to become a member of the Order of the Bath.

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.

Edges first and final leaves dust-soiled uncut small tear to outer blank margin of two leaves and gutter of last little spotting. A speech delivered to the jury at a trial for adultery in Dublin by the lawyer Mr Phillips - an 'exquisite display of eloquence'. It comments on the fact that led Mr Guthrie the plaintiff he was representing and Mr Sterne to face one another in court as the latter had a relationship with Mrs Guthrie and convinced her to escape with him. The repenting Mrs Guthrie 'a poor wretch' returned home after Mr Sterne began to beat her. It was a very successful speech - 'a burst of applause from the whole Bar and auditory followed the delivery of the passage'. An interesting ephemeral survival shedding light on Irish marital law.
