Rights of Juries Defended: Together with Authorities of Law in Support of Those Rights and the Objec

The book ""The Rights of Juries Defended"" by Charles Stanhope, published in 1792, is a legal treatise that argues for the importance of the rights of juries in the British legal system. The author defends the idea that juries should have the power to decide both the facts and the law in criminal cases, and provides legal authorities to support this view.Stanhope also addresses objections to a proposed libel bill put forward by Mr. Fox, which would have limited the power of juries in cases of libel. He refutes these objections and argues that the bill would be detrimental to the rights of juries and the principles of justice.Overall, ""The Rights of Juries Defended"" is a thorough and well-researched defense of the importance of juries in the British legal system, and a critique of attempts to limit their power. It is a valuable resource for legal scholars and anyone interested in the history of law and justice in Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
