Descrição do livro
Juries In India. Juries In India is a compilation of official papers, minutes, and correspondence surrounding the introduction and debate over trial by native juries in the Madras Presidency and British India. The document collects minute-by-minute accounts from Sir Thomas Munro, Lieutenant-General Sir G. T. Walker, H. S. Graeme, J. H. Ogilvie, and S. R. Lushington, among others, and includes the 1827 Regulation X draft for trial by jury, as well as later opinions and objections from the Sudder Adawlut and circuit judges. The texts discuss the rationale for employing punchayets or juries composed of natives to hear criminal cases, compare native juries’ capacity to weigh evidence against European and Mahomedan law officers, examine practical issues such as language, caste, literacy, and public opinion, and assess likely effects on justice, security, and governance. The collection reveals a policy debate at the heart of colonial legal reform in early 19th-century India, the challenges of adapting legal practice to local conditions, and the tension between liberal aims and administrative realities.
