Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Case of the Queen V. Edward John Eyre, on His Prosecution, in the Court of Queen´s Bench, for High Crimes and Misdemeanours Alleged to Have Been Committed by Him in His Office as Governor of Jamaica, 1868 The prosecution of a Colonial Governor, in the Court of Queen´s Bench, for high crimes and misdemeanours alleged to have been committed, in the exercise of his office, by the abuse of his powers for the purpose of oppression, is an event happily of so rare occurrence in our history, that it deserves some record; and the exposition of the law on the subject, upon such an occasion, by an able and learned judge, must be worth preserving. And as in this instance the alleged abuse had been committed in the course of the execution of measures represented to be required for the suppression of rebellion, the subject has a special interest with reference to its bearing on the powers and responsibilities of magistrates or still higher functionaries in the repression of riot and insurrection; while it has a peculiar interest on this further account, that it laid down the law with results entirely different from those arrived at on the occasion of a former prosecution arising out of the same matters, and on which a charge had been delivered and published by the Lord Chief Justice. There was a general feeling in the profession that the Charge of Mr. Justice Blackburn ought to be published, and it is here presented exactly as the learned judge delivered it, with the exception of his mere verbal corrections. The writer would have desired to present it by itself with the addition of no other matter than the Evidence and the Indictment presented to the grand jury and upon which the charge was pronounced.
