Overview

""The Magisterial Law of British Guiana"" is a comprehensive historical legal resource, compiled in 1877, offering invaluable insights into the legal framework of the then-British colony. Authored by Alfred John Pound, with references to the decisions of the Supreme Court of British Guiana, this volume meticulously details the 'Ordinance Law' with extensive notes and references to decisions from the Review Court. It focuses particularly on the procedure, jurisdiction, and duties of the Stipendiary Justices of the Peace. This book serves as a critical primary source for legal historians, scholars of colonial governance, and anyone interested in the evolution of legal systems in the Caribbean. Its detailed examination of magisterial law provides a unique perspective on the administration of justice and the application of British legal principles in a colonial context. The book's historical value lies in its comprehensive documentation of the legal statutes and judicial interpretations that shaped the legal landscape of British Guiana during the late 19th century.
