The son of Samuel Johnson's associate James Boswell, Sir Alexander Boswell, First Baronet [1775-1822] was a Scottish poet, antiquary and songwriter. He used the funds from his inheritance to purchase a seat in Parliament and later achieved a Baronetcy for his political support of the government. After he left Parliament, Boswell wrote a series of anonymous essays denouncing James Stuart, a prominent Whig. When Stuart suspected Boswell's authorship, he demanded that Boswell deny authorship or apologize. Boswell refused to do either, so Stuart challenged him to a duel. Boswell deliberately fired wide, but Stuart, who had never before handled a gun, shot Boswell in the collarbone. The wound was fatal. Despite Boswell's popularity, Stuart was acquitted unanimously. Sir Geoffrey Briggs [1914-1993] was an English lawyer and judge who served as Chief Justice of Hong Kong and Brunei. Catalogue of the Library of the Harvard Law School (1909) II:1200.

(An earlier version appeared in the periodical The Pamphleteer in 1820 under the title On the Administration of the Criminal Code in England.) Cottu was a counselor of the Royal Court of Paris and Secretary-General to the Royal Society of Prisons. In 1820 he was sent by his government to observe the English criminal courts. He returned with a vivid description of a system that had changed little since the days of Coke and Pulton. As Langbein describes it, "the whole of the criminal trial was expected to transpire as a lawyer-free contest of amateurs. In cases of felony., the prosecution was also not represented by counsel. The victim of the crime commonly served as the prosecutor. (In homicide cases, either the victim's kin prosecuted, or the local coroner stood in.)" Just as Blackstone summarized the common law on the cusp of its transformation by modern capitalism, Cottu described a system of criminal procedure that was about to be transformed into the system we recognize today.
