Discretion and the rule of law: the licensing of drink in England, c. 1817-40.
Abstract Publicans’ pressure for relaxing licensing control, and the free-trade campaign that culminated in the Beer Act had different roots, but both rejected magisterial discretion and shared a commitment to an adjudicatory model with strong ‘rule of law’ values. Subsequent inquiries suggested that for adjudication to replace discretion successfully, freedom to trade should be restricted to the respectable, and that the ‘rule of law’ required modern policing and modern courts. Licensing reforms thus illustrate a shift to modernity which served the interests of both the victuallers who defended their ‘property’ and the free-traders who denied it.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Legal History, founded in 1980, is the only British journal concerned solely with legal history. It publishes articles in English on the sources and development of the common law, both in the British Isles and overseas, on the history of the laws of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, and on Roman Law and the European legal tradition. There is a section for shorter research notes, review-articles, and a wide-ranging section of reviews of recent literature.
