Excerpt from Reports of Criminal Cases, Tried in the Municipal Court of the City of Boston Before Peter Oxenbridge Thacher, Judge of That Court From 1823 to 1843 The following volume has been prepared at the suggestion of several professional gentlemen, who were acquainted with the nature and importance of many of the questions decided in the Municipal Court of the city of Boston, during the period in which the late Judge Thacher presided over that tribunal. It has been thought that a selection from the Opinions and charges delivered by him, during the long period of his judicial labors, could hardly fail to be valuable as a contribution to criminal law in the United States; as well from its containing the results of an experience of twenty years exclusively devoted to that branch of the law, as from the extensive jurisdiction of the court over which he presided. It has been thought, also, that this volume may have a. General interest, as a record of the principal criminal cases which have been subjects of interest or excitement to the people of the city of Boston, during that time; from its local reminiscences, and from the light which it may throw upon the history of the city, during that period. The Municipal Court was established in the year 1799, on account of the great delays and expenses in administering justice in the town of Boston. The jurisdiction was at first very limited. In 1812, it was extended, concurrently with the jurisdiction of the Supreme Judicial Court, to all criminal cases in the county of Suffolk, not capital. Appeals to the Sn preme Court were originally allowed generally, after wards much limited, and by the statute of 1839, c. 161, were abolished, except on questions of law, to be car ried up by exceptions filed of record. The court had jurisdiction also of cases of lunatics to be sent to the Worcester State Asylum, and cases of additional sentences to be imposed on second and third comers to the State Prison, convicted in any of the courts of the Commonwealth. The first judge of the court was George Richards Minot, who held the office from its establishment to his death in 1802. Thomas Dawes was then appointed, and presided from that time to the year 1822, when he resigned. Josiah Quincy was the next judge, and held the office from January, 1822, to his resignation in May, 1823.

The US Supreme Court recently held that the constitutionality of modern gun laws depends on whether they are "consistent with this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation." This landmark judicial decision, which cited an essay in this collection, made it ever more crucial to be clear about what the "historical tradition" entails. The scope of the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms, and accordingly the government's power to regulate firearms in the interest of public safety, hangs in the balance. Drawing on original research and sources not available to earlier Supreme Court opinions, New Histories of Gun Rights and Regulations brings together various methodological approaches and highlights issues in firearms law that have been previously underexamined. Its contributors, including distinguished historians, social scientists, and legal scholars, offer valuable new insight into the place of guns in American law and society. This groundbreaking new volume illuminates how history and constitutional law interact, suggesting concrete answers to some live legal controversies. A vital contribution to a vibrant debate, New Histories of Gun Rights and Regulations is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the scope of the Second Amendment--a right whose breadth is frequently defined by its historical treatment.

"Boston's antebellum period was a historical watershed in every way. The city's economy was growing dramatically, compulsory education was well underway, the Irish were coming, crime was soaring, and the lower criminal courts were expanding sharply." "A resurgent bar association struggled to professionalize by shifting from the time-honored method of training lawyers via apprenticeships to requiring formal education in law schools. The Municipal Court redefined its mission by adding regulatory disputes to the docket and diverting minor cases into extra-legal channels. As it adopted a proactive stance, the court became a dispute resolution center, the prosecutor learned to manage caseflow closely and to set punishments via plea bargaining, and the court's docket grew tenfold by 1850. Minor regulatory disputes and minor vice were quietly transferred to the Police Court, and its cases more than doubled by 1850. All this took place between 1830 and 1850." "Crime also took several interesting turns. Youthful criminals and wayward children roamed the streets with impunity during the 1830s, and by 1850 they accounted for the major portion of Boston's property losses. Prohibition was a divisive issue, and liquor laws and their violations proliferated. Expanding commerce brought many opportunities for fraud, and it too became a common charge. Public drunkenness and prostitution mounted, and though the much-maligned Irish aggravated many of these problems, they by no means caused Boston's first crime wave." "Antebellum Boston witnessed the birth of the modern criminal court--a high-volume, multipurposed, criminal court using plea bargaining to dispose of the bulk of its cases. As Boston's courts moved to plea bargaining, the court's officers also became more professional, and its formal procedures grew more intricate. These contrary tendencies were unrelated in Boston." "Some might draw from the rapid expansion of Boston's criminal justice system that the community was mounting a puritanical repression of vice and the dangerous classes, but it was not simply a matter of putting immorality down. It was a calling to account of all classes by means of a just legal system that assigned punishment according to guilt. Though the Irish were assailed on all sides, they were treated fairly in the city's legal institutions. Boston's lower criminal courts were a worthy example for the nation as a whole during the antebellum years."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
