Notes of the Judgment delivered by Sir George Croke in the case of ship-money.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 1875
Extract
The notes of Croke's judgment in the Hampden case, for the publication of which the Society has to thank its President, are much more brief than either of the two reports printed in the State Trials, but have the advantage of autograph corrections by Croke himself. The judgment attracted considerable attention at the time as being the first delivered in favour of the defendant. Words inserted by Croke are printed in italics. Words scratched out with the, pen are given between brackets in the notes.
