A Reading on the Use of Torture in the Criminal Law of England: Previously to the Commonwealth; Delivered at New Inn Hall in Michaelmas Term, 1836, by ... of the Middle Temple (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into the history of torture as an instrument of English criminal law, from its origins to the era preceding the Commonwealth. The author draws upon a variety of sources including Council books and state papers to illustrate how torture was used extensively and without legal restraint. Despite authoritative figures such as Fortescue and Coke condemning the practice as unjust and illegal, the prerogative of the sovereign allowed its continued use. The book examines the role of torture in high-profile cases such as that of Campion the Jesuit, and explores the moral and legal arguments surrounding its use. By situating this practice within its broader historical context and analyzing its thematic depth, the author provides valuable insights into the complexities and contradictions of English justice during this period.
