Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Remarks, on a Pamphlet, Entitled a Mirror, &C: Written by C S L S, M. D. Drawn, From the Proceedings of a General Court Martial, on the Trial of an Appeal, Brought Before Them by David Blakeney, Matross; Also, an Appendix, Containing, the Copies of Several Depositions, &C., The Whole, Designed an An The D - r begins, by endeavouring to prejudice his Readers against the Mode of Trials by Courts Martial; and attempts to prove, that Officers are not properly qualified to fit as Judges, because, says he "There is no Class of Men in the State so likely to be unacquainted with the Liberties and Rights of the Subject, or the Laws on which they are founded, and by which they are fended and secured, as the Gentlemen of the Army; for they seldom read any other Law Book but the Articles of War." Allowing all due weight to the D - r´s Objection, his Argument may be thus fairly stated. The Articles of War contain all the Laws relative to Trials by Courts Martial. The Gentlemen of the Army seldom read any other Law Book but the Articles of War: - Therefore they are not properly qualified to try Delinquents by those Articles. - I wish the D - r would read some Books of Logic, as this might prevent his reasoning so weakly for the future. He might as well say, that a Physician was not properly qualified to prescribe, because he seldom read any other Books but such as suited his Profession. If the D - r means to insinuate, by their not reading any other Law Books, that they do not study those Authors who treat of the Constitution and Government of their Country, and of those Privileges which are the peculiar Rights of free Subjects, he only shews how little he is conversant with the Gentlemen of the Army. A Knowledge, limited to these Points, is a proper Accomplishment for every Gentleman, and in which, Officers are not at all defective; many of them are Men of Abilities, and most of them have received a liberal Education. But I must confess they seldom read Coke upon Lyttleton; and I believe the D - r is the first, who ever found fault with the Jurisdiction of Courts Martial, because the Members were not Lawyers.
