Legislation applied to infant colonies; A letter addressed to the commissioners of the Association for the British Colonization of New Zealand: by
Arthur James Johnes, (3)+8-27, London, H. Hooper, 1838. (Lacks TOC & index. Johnes, 1809-1871, was an English barrister and later an influential county
court judge in Wales. A prolific pamphlet writer, he was a follower of Bentham, and advocated the simplification of the English legal system; the
fusion of law and equity, the establishment of small claims courts, the abolition of imprisonment for debt, and a fusion of the two branches of the legal
system. The thrust of his argument in this pamphlet is that new colonies, because they represent a tabula raza without the encrustations of long held
traditions, provide an excellent opportunity for experimentation in new and simpler paths in the workings of the law. The print text of this title was
scanned from Lincoln’s Inn Library pamphlet volume MP 79.)
