The frontispiece depicts Elizabeth Weldon the prostitute who initiated the suit. In an attempt to extort money she threatened Boyle also known as Viscount Dungarvan due to his Irish properties with a bogus lawsuit. She said she would claim he took money from her clothing after he purchased her services. However Cork called her bluff and eventually prevailed in court. Clearly a salacious case it is presented here as a cautionary tale for "young gentlemen whose levity may bring them into a familiar situation." The reporter warns that it "may not always be in the power even of a man of fashion to refute the plausible tale of an artful woman although a prostitute. It may not always happen that an innocent defendant shall have the same circumstances to protect his honour as my Lord Dungarvan" ii. OCLC locates 2 copies both in law libraries Columbia Harvard.

Croswell is a landmark case in the history of the First Amendment. It was a prosecution for criminal libel under the Sedition Act in the Court of General Sessions of the Peace of Columbia County New York. Croswell was indicted for an article published in The Wasp a Federalist newspaper he edited that accused Jefferson of hiring James Callender to write articles attributing various crimes to Washington and Adams. Crosswell was defended by a distinguished team of lawyers among them Alexander Hamilton. In one of his greatest and most influential speeches and one of the last he gave in his lifetime Hamilton argued that freedom of the press consists in publishing the truth from good motives and for justifiable ends however it may reflect on its subjects. More important he argued for a rejection of libel based on English rules which remained a part of New York law especially the rule that truthfulness is not a reason for acquittal. Croswell was convicted but he was not sentenced or retried. And the cause of his case was mooted the following year when the New York State Legislature abandoned English libel law in favor of one based on Hamilton's argument. It became the law of the land when the other states and the Federal government followed New York's example. Ford Bibliotheca Hamiltoniana 90.

The "Douglas Cause" which involved claims on the estate of Duke Douglas was one of the most sensational Scottish trials of the eighteenth century. It also involved one of the greatest jurists of the eighteenth century Lord Mansfield who presided over the case. Stuart a lawyer who had been tutor to the Duke's children represented Hamilton against Douglas and distinguished himself highly but the case was decided in Douglas favor - the result according to Stuart of Lord Mansfield's gross impartiality during trial. This was a rancorous case and it attracted a great deal of public attention most of it sympathetic to Douglas. English Short-Title Catalogue 131822 T20317. unknown books

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.

Carlile was one of the most prolific freethinking journalist-publisher-political activists of his day. As one would suspect he was often at odds with the government. In 1819 he was fined 1500 pounds and imprisoned for three years for six counts of "blasphemous libel." He published this account of the first day of his 1819 trial after his release. It deals with the information against him for publishing Thomas Paine's Age of Reason and Examination of the Passages in the New Testament Quoted from the Old and Called prophecies concerning Jesus Christ which Carlile issued as The Age of Reason Part the Third. Portions of these were read in court by Carlile with commentary. Carlile reissued this pamphlet in 1826. Catalogue of the Library of the Harvard Law School II:1035. unknown books
