Synopsis
A Review Of The Authorities As To The Repression Of Riot Or Rebellion: With Special Reference To Criminal Or Civil Liability by William Francis Finlason is a historical legal survey of how riot and insurrection have been treated in English law, with emphasis on criminal and civil liability of magistrates, governors, and military officers. The work compiles and examines authorities spanning from early common law to modern cases, and it analyzes the origins and limits of martial law, the Riot Act, and the use of military force in aid of the civil power. It covers notable episodes such as the Lord George Gordon riots, the Manchester Massacre, Bristol and Bristol’s mayoral conduct, and the Jamaica and Demerara cases, among others, to illustrate how courts and authorities have treated repression of riot and rebellion. Finlason argues that rebellion constitutes war and that martial law, with its distinct powers and immunities, has historically been recognized as a legitimate instrument in extreme emergencies, subject to standards of honesty and necessity. The volume surveys principles of liability, indemnity, and colonial governance with a broad historical lens, presenting a thorough reference for legal practitioners and historians.
