Synopsis
Excerpt from Jottings of an Old Solicitor
My earliest recollection as a child is of the Vicarage at Loose in Kent. My father held the position of resident curate there for about ten years, and during that period the vicar of the parish (who, of course, received the tithes) never once visited the parish, or in any way interfered. It is true he suffered from bodily infirmity, and he was, I believe, an estimable man; but I suppose such a state of things would not now be tolerated. At that time no one seemed to consider that there was anything wrong in it, and beyond doubt, my father, who for all practical purposes was the vicar, was popular, and the parishioners were content. Thus, as is often the case, an unjustifiable state of things worked well.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a captivating glimpse into the legal profession, revealing the stark contrast between its practices in 1840 London and the modern legal system. The author, a legal professional writing from direct experience, takes readers on a journey through the archaic procedures, exorbitant costs, and social biases that plagued the legal system of the time. Witness the introduction of the railways and the impact of technological advancements on communication, then marvel at how judges conducted themselves with supposed impartiality, and how the lack of witness credibility often led to non-suits. This book is a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of law and its administration, and offers a fascinating perspective on the social and legal norms of Victorian England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
