This volume contains trials from 1388-1648, including the complete celebrated trials of Sir Walter Raleigh and Guy Fawkes. Sir Walter Raleigh's trial, 17th November 1603, in which Raleigh was accused of conspiracy to commit treason against the Crown for attempting to establish Arabella Stuart as queen of England rather than James I. At his trial the evidence consisted primarily of a sworn "confession" by Lord Cobham, Raleigh's alleged co-conspirator, but the tribunal refused to allow Cobham to testify. Raleigh was found guilty of treason, though King James spared his life and imprisoned him in the Tower of London until 1616, when he was released in order to head an expedition in search of El Dorado. (pp212-231). Guy Fawks (sic) trial, "the Gunpowder-Plot" follows immediately after Raleigh's trial. The plot was a failed assassination attempt against King James I of England and VI of Scotland by a group of English Catholics led by Robert Catesby, which famously planned to blow up the House of Lords. The trial began on Monday 27 January 1606 at Westminster Hall. Fawkes pleaded not guilty, despite his apparent acceptance of guilt from the moment he was captured, and was sentenced to death. Volume I of a 6 volume set. Folio, xxiv, 1044pp. Deaccessed by the NY Association of the Bar Library, with their stamp on the title page. Tan library cloth binding with leather gilt spine label, and paper label, probably bound on accession in 1907. Cloth covers dusty and marked at spine, leather label chipped; Bar Association bookplate on verso of cover, from the Library of Charles P. Daly, Chief Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, a gift of Henry R. Hoyt, 1907. OCLC: 4724383.…
