Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a glimpse into the legal and social history of Lancashire, England from 1616 to 1630, by examining the private papers of three generations of the Mosley family who served as magistrates. The cases they dealt with offer a unique window into the everyday lives of early 17th-century Lancashire residents. From petty quarrels and domestic disputes to serious crimes and religious tensions, the records detail the challenges faced by ordinary people and the role of the local justices in maintaining order and resolving conflicts. Through firsthand accounts of crimes, punishments, and social customs, the author sheds light on a society in transition, grappling with the transformations brought about by economic growth, religious change, and the consolidation of central authority. The book thus contributes significantly to our understanding of early modern English society and the administration of justice at the local level.
