Changes in the Law and Reform of the Legal Order
The nisi prius Trial Notes of Lord Chancellor Hardwicke
The trial notes of Chief Justices William Mansfield and Dudley Ryder have proved to be rich sources for the study of common law judicial process in the decades after 1750. Equally valuable, but hitherto unanalyzed, are the trial notes of Philip Yorke, Lord Hardwicke, compiled when he was Chief Justice of King's Bench in the mid-1730s. This study provides an account of Hardwicke's notes, comparing and contrasting their style and substance to those…
Chancery's 'Younger Sister
An analysis of Exchequer equity litigation (subject-matter, parties and procedures), in part by comparison to Chancery. The analysis identifies general similarities as well as some particular features of Exchequer process that help to account the preference of some litigants (or their legal advisers) for pursuing their disputes in Exchequer rather than in Chancery
Record-keepers in the Court of Chancery and their 'Record' of Accomplishment in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
This article describes the conflict over authority and fees which came to a head in 1791 between two groups of officials within the court of chancery, the Sworn Clerks and the Six Clerks, and considers how far the recurrent conflict adversely affected the preservation of the court's records. It gives an account of record-keeping in the context of these clashes and explores the surviving records of chancery equity proceedings in the Public Record …
The 1690s Revisited
Continuity or Change in the Court of Chancery in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
No reader of Bleak House is likely to forget its scathing portrayal of the excesses of the unreformed Court of Chancery in the handling of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce . From its publication in 1852–53, it has created an indelible image of the Court, so powerfully influencing historians as well as laymen that it is sometimes hard to remember that it is fiction, and polemical fiction at that. The fiction, however, is built on a secure bedrock of fact; the…
Early Modern Conceptions of Property
John Locke, Lord Mansfield, and Arbitration During the Eighteenth Century
An exploration of the origins of the Arbitration Act of 1698 and an analysis of court-related arbitration during the next century. Principal conclusions: (1) that the act originated at the board of trade, with John Locke drafting and drawing upon judicial practice of the later 1600s; (2) that use of the act's provisions was limited before the 1770s even though extra-judicial arbitration was proliferating; (3) that thereafter, with the Court of Ki…

However, these restrictions had in many places disappeared by the early fourteenth century.

The Rise of the Egalitarian Family
The East India Trade, The Politicians, and the Constitution
The war against France was the most potent force for change in English government and politics in William III's reign, but during those same years the contest for control of the lucrative East India trade also set off strong reverberations at Whitehall, in parliament, and even in the constituencies. Ever since its reorganization in the 1650s, the East India Company had been subjected to intermittent attack from a motley array of foes: some questi…

The General Election of 1690
In recent years, the “party history” of William's and Anne's reigns has been the subject of renewed interest and controversy, centering especially on the structure of Augustan politics. But amidst the debate over the usefulness and validity of two-party or multi-party analyses, uncharted regions of the political terrain remain to be mapped. Not least among them is the electoral history of the 1690s, and the general election of 1690 is a leading c…

Protestant Reconciliation in the Exclusion Crisis
The triumphal return of Charles II on 29 May 1660 was the prelude to a determination of the restored monarchy's structure rather than its aftermath. The many and vexed problems attendant upon Charles's reinstatement were still to be resolved, for the Declaration of Breda had wisely been confined to generalities. A parliament would be necessary to settle the terms of an indemnity, the ownership of the confiscated lands, the future of the army, and…

Parties, Connections, and Parliamentary Politics, 1689-1714
The notion that parliamentary politics in the days of William III and Queen Anne revolved around the conflict of the Whig and Tory parties is deeply rooted in the historiography of the later seventeenth century. Nourished by the many contemporary references to the existence and activities of the Whig and Tory parties, the “two-party concept” had its first flowering in the nineteenth century and came to full blossom in the early decades of the twe…
Comprehension in the Later Seventeenth Century
Within the last decade, the history of the often obscure efforts made to reach some modus vivendi between the Established Church and the Protestant Nonconformists after 1662 has attracted renewed scholarly attention.1 Recent works have stressed that during the generation dividing the Stuart Restoration from the "Glorious" Revolution, proposals for both comprehension and toleration were repeatedly mooted-sometimes in combination, and at other time…
