Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Judges of England, Vol. 8: With Sketches of Their Lives, and Miscellaneous Notices Connected With the Courts at Westminster, From the Time of the Conquest One of the most important events connected with the law that distinguished the reign of George I., was the impeachment of Lord Chancellor Macclesfield and the reform which resulted from it. The principal offence with which the earl was charged was one which had been committed by his predecessors for many generations. The sale of the lucrative offices of the Court of Chancery was a subject of notoriety, and was considered as part of the legitimate profit of its heads, and had even been in some sort recognised in parliament. Roger North (Life, 226) notices the objection which his brother Lord Guilford had to the practice in the reign of Charles II., and the reasons which induced him "to follow the steps of his predecessors." The chiefs of the other courts also claimed and exercised the same privilege with regard to offices in their gift. For examples it is not necessary to go beyond the Revolution, as it is certain that the practice was not first introduced at that sera, but that the judges then appointed merely pursued a system long established.
