1902291158Richmond Virginia: Clyde W. Saunders Printer 1902. Hard Cover. Good binding. An uncommon account of the impeachment trial against Clarence J. Campbell judge of the county court of Amherst in 1902 by the Virginia General Assembly. The story begins when Campbell dismissed the case of a druggist having sold twenty-five barrels of whiskey in a year despite local Temperance laws. A Richmond minister then wrote an article calling Judge Campbell practically corrupt and certainly pro-liqueur trafficking to which the Judge responded by bringing him to court. Despite failing to land a contempt of court charge The Honorable Clarence Campbell found his revenge by striking the minister with a riding crop multiple times after the court adjourned though circumstances leading to this altercation are inconclusive. A stacked court then acquitted Judge Campbell of felonious assault strangely enough with the defense that a Virginian had a right to beat any Yankee that insulted them. This resulted in mass rioting in the streets by pro- and anti-Campbell factions all while the judge and his circle hosted a raucous into-the-wee-hours party which of course respected the Temperance laws and presumably contained only prescribed whiskey. In this account Judge Campbell becomes one of the few circuit court judges to be successfully impeached after outrage and a petition calling for his dismissal. Cheers to that! Binding is fragile and somewhat shaken; front hinge cracked. Quarter black cloth over contemporary paper boards with a paper spine label. OCLC notes two institutional holdings. Good binding. Clyde W. Saunders, Printer unknown books

Scattered foxing light dampstain to one corner some pages offset last few leaves darkened still about very good. 72149 pp. 8vo. Political Anti-Masonry which first began in New York gained a strong foothold in Rhode Island beginning in 1829. By 1831 the Anti-Masons convinced the state legislature to investigate Freemasonry: "Whereas the crimes and enormities within a few years committed in a neighboring State by certain Freemasons avowedly in the cause of masonry have excited universal indignation and abhorrence and have awakened jealousies and suspicions very unfavorable to all masonic institutions. Therefore in the hope of allaying the great and increasing excitement thus occasioned and that the innocent may be distinguished from the guilty if in this state there are any who can justly be charged with advocating the criminal doctrines imputed to freemasonry. are hereby appointed a committee fully to investigate and inquire into its causes." This is the 72 page report of that committee with 149 pages of appendices. Sabin 70652. Amer. Imprints 14514. Cohen 9356. William Marshall, State Printer unknown books
