Overview

Excerpt from A Treatise on Military Law and the Jurisdiction, Constitution, and Procedure of Military Courts: With a Summary of the Rules of Evidence as Applicable to Such Courts For a long number of years all military jurisdiction was generally termed Martial Law, and it was not until about the commencement of the present century that a distinction between Military and Martial law was recog nized. This distinction is now universally conceded, but we still find the British Parliament passing an annual vote for the administration not of Military but of Martial Law, and each succeeding government has appointed, under patent from the Crown, a judge martial paid out of this vote, who wholly disclaims having any other knowl edge of Martial Law than such as every educated gen tleman may possess, or anything whatever to do with any other than Military Law.1 In our own country, also, we find noted jurists using these terms interchangeably.
