Unbound Pages. Condition: Very Good. Fourth Edition. A group of smugglers Jackson, Carter, Tapner, Cobby, Hammond and the two Millses are tried for the brutal murders of William Galley and Daniel Chater, government informers seized and tortured by the Hawkhurst Gang. The proceedings, held under special commission, expose the sca…le of organised smuggling on the south coast and the Crowns determination to crush violent criminal networks. 11 PAGES, printed in double columns. A genuine 1778 printing taken from the authoritative Complete Collection of State Trials. Originally compiled to serve both as a legal reference and a vehicle of political discourse, the State Trials series shaped contemporary and subsequent understanding of justice, authority, and dissent. The generously sized sheets on which these trials are printed offer particular pleasure to the eye and hand, bearing clear signs of their handmade origin: chain lines and wire impressions from the mould are readily visible, some pages display watermarks, and the paper varies subtly in thickness, all characteristic of 18th century rag paper. This particular trial report has been preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 30 x 47 cms. Category: State Trials; Printed before 1800; State Trials::Large Folio. This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 12mo., iv, 108 pages, portrait frontispiece with tissue still present, with scarce large folding map showing the country round Beer to the extent of 20 miles, original blindstamped cloth with upper cover titled in gilt, spine and some outer edges lightly sunned. A VG+ clean tightly b…ound copy with the scarce map present. Ex Libris John Bullon with his neat inscription to blank front free endpaper 'John Bullon, Charmouth, 25 Dec 1837.' John otherwise known as Jack Rattenbury was born in Beer, Devon in 1778 and lived in the village until his death in 1844. He was renowned throughout the South West of England as a smuggler and as an exceptional sailor. The village was a secretive, tucked-away place, which made it ideal for the lucrative but dangerous profession of smuggling. Jack and his associates used the terrain and exploited the inefficient Excise Service to good effect. He became notorious for his exploits and rejoiced in the nickname 'Rob Roy of the West.' Jack was often treated leniently by the Magistrates, who enjoyed access to a good supply of contraband French Brandy, despite the fact that, at the time, England was engaged in the Napoleonic war. During the 19th century, wealth was limited to rich land owners and merchants. The working people lived in terrible poverty. Such was the case in East Devon and it was inevitable that men and women would use, whatever opportunities existed, both in and outside the law, to provide for their families. Towards the end of his career, Jack, who was illiterate, dictated his Memoirs to a Sidmouth publisher.

First edition. Folio (32 x 20cm). Unbound. [2], 639-643. Woodcut coat of arms to the title page, decorative woodcut initial to the first text page, text in black letter. A very good copy with just a little toning and slight wear to the left-hand margin where once bound within a larger volume. An Act published in Public General A…cts 1744-1745, enacting an amnesty for those who have engaged in the activity of smuggling and laying out punishments for those who continue to partake in the crime (transportation or death). The statutes of 1745 are considered to be the leading statutes for smuggling law in eighteenth-century England, as they made the greatest effort to convict offenders and to sentence those convicted to death. These statutes, part of the 'Bloody Code', further extended the means by which a person could be convicted for smuggling and put to death without benefit of clergy, although other lesser penalties, most notably transportation, remained the more common outcome.

Contact seller5-star sellerA French royal decree concerning a squabble over who gets to keep the profits when smugglers are apprehended. "Allaying the dispute between the French Admiralty and the 'Fermiers Généraux' concerning their respective duties and privileges as regards the detection of smugglers, fraudulent trade, and the distribution of profits ac…cruing therefrom" - Maggs. This copy is from the library of Cardinal Etienne Charles de Lomenie de Brienne (1727-94), Minister of Louis XVI, Archbishop of Toulouse and of Sens. A friend of Voltaire and a member of the Académie Française, Brienne wielded significant power as head of the Finance Ministry, which earned him many enemies. He died in prison during the French Revolution, despite having renounced Catholicism in 1793 (presumably as an attempt to save his life). Wroth locates only one copy, at the Archives Nationale; OCLC locates two more copies (University of Minnesota and John Carter Brown Library). Rare.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Human trafficking is the exploitation of a person for the purposes of forced labor or commercial sex, regardless of citizenship or nationality. However, Americans generally tend to think that human trafficking is a crime that occurs in other countries, to foreigners who should have known bet…ter, or to those who brought it upon themselves. These assumptions are misconceptions; trafficking happens here in the United States to U.S. citizens (USC), and in every state in the nation.1 While foreigners who arrive in the U.S. legally and illegally are susceptible to human trafficking situations, U.S. citizens too fall victim to this crime at an alarming rate.2 Without regard to nationality of victims and with greed as their motivation, traffickers seek to exploit those who are most vulnerable - the young, the desperate, and the easily manipulated. When trafficking is mentioned, Americans often visualize a foreign female who was deceived upon arriving in the U.S. and finds herself being sexually exploited. They do not imagine a USC child or adult who was kidnapped or lured from home and is prostituted at a local truck stop. Sadly, Americans tend to refer to USC trafficking victims as anything but victims. They are referred to as criminals, prostitutes, child prostitutes, runaways, throwaways, addicts, or juvenile delinquents. Traffickers are often referred to only as pimps, perpetrators, or criminals. In the U.S., the criminal definition of human trafficking covers both USC and foreign victims. While the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA) was comprehensive in scope to include foreign nationals and USCs, women and men, and children and adults, the civil victim protection provisions were conceptualized to protect foreign nationals who are trafficked into the U.S. for commercial sex acts or forced labor and who, because of their immigration status, would otherwise be subject to deportation and ineligible for social service programs.3 While USC trafficking victims are often controlled and used for commercial sex acts in the same manner as foreign nationals, the TVPA does not provide USC victims with any special benefits or services.
