Excerpt from The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art: May to August, 1846
The mere continuance, however, of the acknowledged privilege deserves the name of an abuse. No man could believe, in the eighteenth century, that the freedom from arrest of. A member's servant was necessary, or at all conducive to the mem ber's discharge of his parliamentary duty. Yet the exemption remained. The foot man of a learned civilian was released, as a privileged man, by a vote of the House, from an imprisonment which he had incur red as the father of a bastard child.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical evolution of Parliamentary Privilege, its controversial expansions, and limits embedded within the framework of English law. The author reveals a consistent pattern of privilege abuse and distortion from the time of Edward IV until the nineteenth century, resulting in clear violations of justice and suppression of individual rights. The book argues that this deliberate overreach precipitated a series of parliamentary battles wherein Privilege was invoked as a means of obstructing the rule of law. This fascinating and thoroughly researched book sheds much-needed light on a critical parliamentary power. Through a series of historical case studies, the author demonstrates its insidious potential for abuse, and underscores the importance of striking a delicate balance between parliamentary privilege and individual freedoms.
