Beschreibung

Published in London in 1738 this is the First Edition of this History of The Court of the Exchequer, and the Kings Finances raising of monies & revenues The Court of Exchequer Chamber was an English appellate court for common law civil actions before the reforms of the Judicature Acts of 1873?1875. It originated in the fourteenth century, established in its final form by a statute of 1585. The Court heard references from the King's Bench, the Court of Exchequer and, from 1830, directly rather than indirectly from the Court of Common Pleas. It was constituted from four judges belonging to the two courts that had been uninvolved at first instance. In cases of exceptional importance such as the Case of Mines (1568) and R v Hampden (1637) twelve common law judges, four from each division below, sitting in Exchequer Chamber, might be asked to determine a point of law, the matter being referred by the Court hearing the case rather than the parties. Though further appeal to the House of Lords was possible, this was rare before the nineteenth century. As a rule, a judgment of the Exchequer Chamber was considered the definitive statement of the law. Certain judgments like Hampden (the case of Ship Money) caused political controversy. It was superseded by the Court of Appeal of England and Wales THE BOOK the book is bound in an old full leather binding, 8 inches tall approx., [22], 151, [17] pages. the binding has some signs of wear with some cracking to joints though boards still firmly attached, some wear to spine ends, internally endpapers foxed, a few minor marks else contents generally nice and clean A NICE EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST EDITION.
