A Digested Abridgement And Comparative View Of The Statute Law In England And Ireland To The Year 1811, Inclusive by Joseph Gabbett. This densely organized statutory digest surveys the English, Irish, and Scottish statute landscapes governing offences against public justice and public peace, as well as private redress, debt execution, game laws, and the administration of justice across medieval to early modern periods. It inventories numerous Acts, penalties, and procedural rules to enable classification and cross-jurisdiction comparisons, with explicit notes on how English statutes are echoed or adapted in Ireland and Scotland. The work clusters topics such as conspiracy and perjury, bribery, riot and public peace, unlawful combinations, libel and false news, forcible entry, extents and equity, and miscellaneous enforcement tools. It also presents governing procedures for sheriffs, coroners, magistrates, commissions, and courts of the assize, nisi prius, exchequer, and chancery, including penalties, warrants, appeals, and safeguards against abuses. Overall, the digest is a reference-oriented panorama designed for metadata classification and legal research rather than narrative reading.
