A Letter To Lord Brougham And Vaux - John Stoddart - Bog

""A Letter to Lord Brougham and Vaux: On the Opinions of the Judges in the Irish Marriage Cases"" is a book written by John Stoddart and published in 1844. The book is a response to a series of court cases in Ireland that dealt with the issue of whether marriages performed by Roman Catholic priests were legally recognized by the state. Stoddart, a lawyer and journalist, argues in his letter to Lord Brougham and Vaux, a prominent British politician and legal expert, that the judges in these cases were wrong in their interpretation of the law and that their decisions were based on religious bias rather than legal reasoning. He also discusses the broader implications of these cases for the relationship between the state and the Catholic Church in Ireland. The book provides a fascinating insight into the legal and religious debates of the time and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Irish law and society.""With An Appendix Containing The Opinions Of The Judges, Etc.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
