About this title

Synopsis

"The Constable's Guide, A Short Compendium Of The Criminal Law Of England" by W. Jeffcott. This 1830 manual, printed for the author and published in London, is intended to instruct constables in their duties and to inform the public about the criminal law of England. The work emphasizes preventive policing, outlines arrest procedures (warrants, arrest without warrants, and private arrests), and stresses humane treatment of prisoners. It provides a structured taxonomy of crimes and punishments, covering offences against God and religion, public justice, the public peace, and offences against private property. It includes detailed discussions of drunkenness, affrays, burglary, larceny, arson, homicide (justifiable, excusable, and felonious), and various related offences, as well as guidance on evidence, magistrates, and prevention measures. The text cites authorities such as Hale, Blackstone, and Coke, and contains an introduction, an "Opinion of Counsel", and an outline of the legal framework underpinning policing in 19th-century England.
