Star Chamber Cases

Star Chamber Cases: Showing What Cases Properly Belong To The Cognizance Of That Court is a historical book written by Richard Crompton in 1881. The book explores the jurisdiction and proceedings of the Star Chamber, a court that existed in England from the late 15th century until it was abolished in 1641. The Star Chamber was known for its harsh punishments and secretive nature, and Crompton's book provides a detailed analysis of the types of cases that were heard by the court, including cases related to perjury, forgery, fraud, and conspiracy. The book also examines the role of the Star Chamber in maintaining law and order in England during a period of political and social upheaval. It is a valuable resource for historians and legal scholars interested in the history of English law and the development of the justice system.Reprinted From The Edition Of 1630 Or 1641.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
