Excerpt from A Treatise on Federal Impeachments: With an Appendix Containing, Inter Alia, an Abstract of the Articles of Impeachment in All the Federal Impeachment in This Country and in England

The writers on the judicial history of England disagree as to when the English impeachments began. Stephens in his His tory of the Criminal Law of England says 1 that the first case was against David, the brother of Llewellyn in 1283. Pike in his Constitutional History of the House of Lords says 2 that it was against Richard Lyons, a merchant of London, in 1376. Hallam in his Constitutional History of England 3 and Anson in his Law and Custom of the Constitution 4 agree with Pike that it was in 1376, but say that it was against Lord Latimer.
