Niven was a lawyer and con-man who cheated his victims, all incarcerated prostitutes, pickpockets and other petty criminals.

This trial, frequently cited in later histories of American law, is equally important as an early source for the history of legal malpractice litigation in the U.S. and its description of the practice of a lawyer at the margins of the profession.

In 1774 Hallifax, Bishop of Gloucester, Regius Professor of Civil Law at Cambridge University and teacher of Sir Henry Maine, offered a course of lectures on "the Roman Civil Law." According to the Dictionary of National Biography, they were "attended by persons of the highest rank and fortune at the university." The lectures were published that year and reissued in 1775, 1779, 1795 and 1818. Geldart became Regius Professor in 1814. His contributions are interesting because they offer a snapshot of civil law studies at Cambridge a half-century later.

This book is mentioned by Holdsworth in A History of English Law, who deems it a "learned book" (XIII: 496). According to Spence's preface, his work on the translation of the Code Napoleon led him to "look attentively into the civil law of the Romans, where he found that a great proportion of the doctrines of the common law of England, even many of those which are purely artificial, were to be found in the [Corpus Juris Civilis]. This induced him to study the civil and criminal code of the Romans with some minuteness, and to compare the political and judicial institutions of modern Europe, and of our own country in particular, with those of ancient Rome, in order to discover to what extent the former might be traced from the latter, their venerable and classical origins." (v). Spence [1787-1850] was an English jurist and barrister of the Inner Temple. He was the author of several books, including an important treatise on chancery law and a translation of the Code Napoleon, which is available as a Lawbook Exchange reprint.
