Minor marking and wear to text block. Previous owner's ink signature to free front endpaper else clean and bright. Lightly rubbed Dustjacket. (BH) 4/24 Cannibalism and the Common Law is an enthralling classic of legal history. It tells the tragic story of the yacht Mignonette, which foundered on its way from England to Australia in 1884. The killing and eating of one of the crew, Richard Parker, led to the leading case in the defence of necessity, R. v. Dudley and Stephens. It resulted in their being convicted and sentenced to death, a sentence subsequently commuted. "Simpson's discovery of devious judges and sanctimonious Whitehall mandarins ensuring the sailors' conviction in order to impose Victorian middle-class morality on the lower orders transformed our understanding of the case. Only by covertly manipulating procedures and blatant jury-tampering was the rule of law sustained over the competing customs of the sea, which had long regarded cannibalism as justifiable in these circumstances. It was a tale as far from a rule-bound understanding of how law evolves as it was possible to get." [The Guardian 2 Feb 2011]
