Añadir al carrito12mo, 3 pp. Thirty-three lines. Text clear and complete. Fair, on lightly-aged paper, with traces of mount on reverse of second leaf, which is docketed 'C. Fane to G. Joy | 19 Augt. 1844'. A significant and interesting letter, on a topic later tackled by Dickens in 'Bleak House', by a judge who was an active member of the Law Am…endment Society, and whose decisions, according to his entry in the Oxford DNB, 'were frequently the subject of comment', although 'very few of his judgments were reversed on appeal'. Fane sympathises with Joy's 'misfortunes', as he does 'with the case of every man, who has the misfortune to be involved in a Chancery suit'. There is however nothing that he could proposer, 'relating to Insolvency or Bankruptcy', that could 'redress the wrongs to wh. the delays of Chancery have subjected you'. The main cause of these delays is the 'tossing of the suitor from the Judge to the Master, & from the Master to the Judge, till the subjt. in dispute is wasted in expense'. The only remedy is for the judge to be compelled 'to carry out his own desires without references to Masters', or to 'so raise the station, power & responsibilities of Masters as that they shall become independent judges'. Small contemporary cutting laid down at head of first page, reading 'SUBDIVISION COURT, WEST SIDE. | Commissioners. | Sir Charles Frederick Williams, kt. Josh. Evans, esq., hon. Robert G. Cecil Fane.'.

Añadir al carritoLondon: [Spottiswoode and Shaw], 1848. Inscribed by the Author Fane, [Robert George] C[ecil] [1796-1864]. Ministry of Justice: Its Necessity as an Instrument of Law Reform. London: [Spottiswoode and Shaw], 1848. 23, [1] pp. Octavo (8" x 5-1/2"). Recent stiff wrappers, printed paper title panel to front. Light toning, light foxin…g to a few leaves, author presentation inscription to "the Hble P.J. Locke King" to front head of half-title. $450. * Only separate edition. Fane, a bankruptcy commissioner, argues: "The necessity for a Minister of Justice becomes daily more and more evident. Law reform is universally demanded. (.) Turn where you will, you find in the law itself, in the construction of the courts which administer it, and in the construction of the Acts of Parliament which profess to mend, but only botch it, something which everybody complains of. A spirit of inquiry, a thirst for reform, is abroad." Fane's essay was originally printed in the May 1848 issue of the Law Review. He inscribed this copy to Peter John Locke King [1811-1885], a Whig MP and advocate of law reform responsible for a number of important pieces of legislation and the repeal of several obsolete laws.
