In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Fair. 1st Edition. [10], 920, [64] pages : portrait missing ; 30 cm OCLC 13205839 ; full leather with five bands. rebound ; this is the first of the three volumes of the first impression;(interestingly, a copy of the later, third impression was owned by Thomas Jefferson in Monticello & is now in the Jefferson… Exhibit collection of the Library of Congress) ; Croke was brought into Parliament for Bere Alston by his relative Charles Blount, 8th Lord Mountjoy. He served on the committees concerning tillage (13 Dec. 1597), lewd & wandering persons (20 Dec.), costs in civil lawsuits 27 Jan. 1598, & on two conferences with the Lords 16 Jan. (on defence) and 3 Feb. (on wine casks). He was probably the 'Mr. George Cooke' who was appointed to the committee on tellers and receivers on 12 Dec. Croke began reporting law cases in 1581,& is mentioned as an advocate in his own reports in 1588. He established a lucrative practice & built up estates in Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire. He was associated with the Hampden family, was named as overseer in the will of William Hampden & must have known John Hampden for whom he later gave judgment in the ship-money case. Croke's marriage 'fell out unexpected to his friends that conceived a purpose in him never to have married', she being some 20 years of age & he 'an ancient bachelor'. Croke's law reports, published after his death in a translation from the law French by Harbottle Grimston his son-in-law, soon occupied a considerable place in the authoritative literature of the common law. The 12 active years which he spent on the King's bench coincided with some of the great constitutional cases of the century. He is best remembered in connexion with ship-money. In 1637 Charles submitted the question to the judges, all of whom-save for Croke and Sir Richard Hutton-agreed that the King could demand such financial aid from his subjects in time of danger. The two dissidents signed this general statement in the belief that they were bound to yield to the majority opinion. However, when the problem came before him judicially in the Hampden case, he made an outright statement declaring that there was no precedent for such a prosecution and that only Parliament might set a charge upon a subject. 'The King has ship money by hook but not by Croke', said the wits. In 1641 Croke retired, retaining the title, salary & allowances of a judge. He died at Waterstock 16 Feb. 1642, leaving two wills, the first being concerned with the disposal of land to his wife and son Thomas. In the second, made 1640 and proved 3 May 1642, he asked to be buried without 'heraldry', hearse or any 'unnecessary ceremonies'. The widow was appointed sole executrix.--historyofparliamentonline ; Sir Harbottle Grimston (1603-1685), English politician, second son of Sir Harbottle Grimston, Bart. (d. 1648), was born at Bradfield Hall, near Manningtree, on the 27th of January 1603. Educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, he became a barrister of Lincoln's Inn, then recorder of Harwich & recorder of Colchester. As member for Colchester, Grimston sat in the Short Parliament of 1640, & he represented the same borough during the Long Parliament, speedily becoming a leading member of the popular party. He attacked Archbishop Laud with great vigour; was a member of the important committees of the parliament, including the one appointed in consequence of the attempted seizure of the five members; & became deputy-lieutenant of Essex after the passing of the militia ordinance in January 1642. He disliked taking up arms against the king, but remained nominally an adherent of the parliamentary party during the Civil War. In the words of Clarendon, he "continued rather than concurred with them." .He translated the law reports of his father-in-law, the judge, Sir George Croke (1560-1642), which were written in Norman-French, & five editions of this work have appeared.-1911 Britannica ; thick volume; marginalia; FAIR. Book.

Croke stood for judicial independence. His collection of reports, which include cases from 1582 to 1641, was, notes James Kent, "a work of credit and celebrity" that has "sustained its character in every succeeding age." Grimston, 2nd Baronet, Member of Parliament and later Speaker of the House of Commons, was Croke's son-in-law. Leach was a notable legal writer. A New York-born alumnus of Columbia and Columbia Law School who lived most of his adult life in Indiana, William Dudley Foulke [1848-1935] was a lawyer who had a notable career as a Progressive polician and social reformer. He is better known, however, for his distinguished work as a literary critic, poet, translator and journalist. Kent cited in Wallace, The Reporters 198-205. English Short-Title Catalogue T98372. Volume one only (illustrator).
