Book excerpt: Excerpt from Justice in Colonial Virginia When Virginia was settled, English institutions came with the settlers; but these institutions had, in many cases, to undergo changes before they were prepared to enter the new environment into which they were carried by coloniza tion. They had to return to their infancy and in some in stances to pass through stages of growth in the new world similar to those through which they had already gone in the old. This second evolution was more rapid than the first; and America in one century reached a stage in institutional progress which it had taken Europe more than a millennium to attain. Only those parts of the old constitution that were suited to the new conditions survived and became a perma nent part of the colonial system of government. For the first decade of its existence, Virginia's constitution, there fore, presented few points of similarity to its great proto type, and, in fact, it was not until 1619 that the likeness of the colonial government to that of the mother country be came plainly discernible.

The Monthly or County Courts.--The most important inferior court was the one regularly held in each county. It was at first known as the monthly court, but it was afterwards given the English name of county court. The first monthly courts were established as early as 1624. At that time it was provided by an act of assembly that courts should be held every month in the corporations of Charles City and Elizabeth City.1 The creation of these courts was the necessary outcome of the rapid growth of the colony which began in 1619. When the cleared areas began to lengthen along the river and to encroach more and more on the wilderness, it became very inconvenient for those colonists living at a distance from James City to go there for the arbitration of their minor differences. The need of local adjudication in small matters naturally became felt first in the more remote settlements, and, as one would expect, the first two monthly courts were established on the eastern and western frontiers. The jurisdiction of the county courts was limited to petty cases coming up from the precincts immediately adjacent to them, and thus the judicial authority of the governor and council was, for a considerable part of the country, left unimpaired. 1 In an address made before the Virginia Bar Association in 1894, Judge Waller Staples said that monthly courts were first established in 1623. This statement is based on a law passed by the assembly in 1624; the mistake in the date arises, I presume, from an erroneous reading of "1623-4," which is given by Hening as the date of the act. It is not improbable that these two courts were established as early as the year 1619, and that the act of 1624 was only a statutory recognition of...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Virginia Justice: Comprising the Office and Authority of a Justice of the Peace, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Together With a Variety of Useful Precedents, Adapted to the Laws Now in Force, to Which Is Added an Appendix While I profess and feel the highest veneration for the Virtue and talents which have adorned the English Benches of Justice (with one or two solitary exceptions) I am free to own, that, in my judgment, too much respect has been paid to their decisions, and too little to those of the American courts. Among the judges in the United States, there are men who would cast a lustre on any tribunal upon earth. On what principle, then, is it that their opinions are so seldom quoted, while those of men inferior in legal attainments, are received as the standard of correctness? It can only be ascribed to the inveteracy of habit, and the prejudices of education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Virginia Colonial Decisions, Vol. 1: The Reports of Decisions of the General Court of Virginia, 1728-1741 These decisions now printed for the first time are not ofiered for their mere usefulness. To a large extent they will serve that purpose, as the fountains feed the streams; but the reason that they should be published and put in the hands of the general reader, and of students and practitioners of the law, is chiefly that they are the mirror of the events of by far the most interesting period of our American life. These are therefore not merely decided cases to be used as dull precedents with which to win causes. That is their minor function. Their chief use here is the picture they give of the colonial period in all its shades and aspects, and that they make the observer see what the more detailed narrative of history fails to tell, of those brooding times of the States. Moreover, the publisher has not been content to reproduce simply a statement of the cases, the argu ments of counsel, and the decisions of the courts, recorded in these manuscripts near one hundred and eighty years ago. Printed by themselves they do not seem to appeal sufficiently to the imagination to be pre sented fully in the light in which they should be viewed.
