Excerpt: ...the matter (as they may be), it is the duty of the auditors to decide upon the whole examination and proofs, as the weight of the testimony may require.3 A confession ofjudgment to account, in an action on book account, does not conclude the defendant as to any article charged, or prevent him from questioning before the auditor, the propriety of a recovery therefor, in the form of action established in Vermont.4 A transfer and delivery of the articles charged, are, in Vermont, essential to the validity of the charges, without which no action of book account can be sustained upon them.5 And the right to make the charge on book must exist at the time of delivering the article, or performing the service, and cannot, depend upon the happening of subsequent events.6 Where there is a contract of sale, which is not executed by actual delivery, the action of book account cannot be sustained.7 Where the action is instituted for articles delivered which have latent defects, the-value of the articles is the legal rule of damages, and not the customary jzriee of the articles, unless controlled by a special agreement of the parties.8 As to the effect in Vermont of erasures and alterations in an original book account, --they do not destroy its character as an original: such book being competent evidence before auditors, and the erasures, Sac. go to its credit only.9 As to what charges are recoverable in Vermont, under the F Stevens v.

The Republic Afloat
Author: Matthew Taylor RaffetyPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226924009
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
In the years before the Civil War, many Americans saw the sea as a world apart, an often violent and insular culture governed by its own definitions of honor and ruled by its own authorities. The truth, however, is that legal cases that originated at sea had a tendency to come ashore and force the national government to address questions about personal honor, dignity, the rights of labor, and the meaning and privileges of citizenship, often for the first time. By examining how and why merchant seamen and their officers came into contact with the law, Matthew Taylor Raffety exposes the complex relationship between brutal crimes committed at sea and the development of a legal consciousness within both the judiciary and among seafarers in this period. The Republic Afloat tracks how seamen conceived of themselves as individuals and how they defined their place within the United States. Of interest to historians of labor, law, maritime culture, and national identity in the early republic, Raffety’s work reveals much about the ways that merchant seamen sought to articulate the ideals of freedom and citizenship before the courts of the land—and how they helped to shape the laws of the young republic.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
In this comprehensive collection of essays representing a lifetime of scholarship, distinguished political scientist Richard Stevens examines the fundamental principles of the American Constitutional order. Stevens discusses the Constitution's roots in Renaissance and Enlightenment political philosophy, and evaluates several major twentieth-century constitutional commentators. With a focus on the core of constitutional principle, Stevens critiques such views as that the Constitution founds a mixed regime, or is rooted in Christianity, or is a 'living constitution, ' or is to be interpreted in the light of a 'higher law background.' Broad in scope and penetrating in analysis, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of constitutional law, American political thought, and American history.
The Making of Tocqueville's America
Author: Kevin ButterfieldPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022629708X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Alexis de Tocqueville famously said that Americans were "forever forming associations" and saw in this evidence of a new democratic sociability--though that seemed to be at odds with the distinctively American drive for individuality. Yet Kevin Butterfield sees these phenomena as tightly related: in joining groups, early Americans recognized not only the rights and responsibilities of citizenship but the efficacy of the law. A group, Butterfield says, isn't merely the people who join it; it's the mechanisms and conventions that allow it to function and, where necessary, to regulate itself and its members. Tocqueville, then, was wrong to see associations as the training grounds of democracy, where people learned to honor one another's voices and perspectives--rather, they were the training grounds for increasingly formal and legalistic relations among people. They were where Americans learned to treat one another impersonally.
