Charles Cremer's Common Law Reports

The first of three volumes of legal reports from the turbulent Interregnum period in England.Charles Cremer recorded mostly King’s Bench cases beginning in 1650 while at Gray’s Inn, a historic London court. His reports are invaluable because few legal records survive from the Interregnum (1649–1660), a period of political instability after the execution of Charles I when the British Isles operated without a monarch. Though the surviving manuscript is incomplete and imperfect, it is a rare addition to the limited legal history of the era.
