The Transformation of the Keepers of the Peace into the Justices of the Peace 1327–1380

For an adequate understanding of the significance of the “keepers” and the “justices” of the peace, precise answers are needed to several questions. How frequent were breaches of the peace and crimes of violence in the reign of Edward III? Was the situation worse than in the reign of his father or than in the time of the Paston Letters? The orthodox view of the universal prevalence of violence, long ago vividly presented by the late L. Owen Pike, has been recently challenged in an article on the internal commerce of fourteenth-century England. Professor Willard's conclusion, based largely on transportation records, is that the “danger of the morrow's journey need not disturb the rest of travellers in an inn” and that “the transportation of goods (other than money) was to a high degree free from danger.” The material used by Pike, and other similar material, certainly afford arguments against so optimistic a theory. The speeches and petitions in parliament and the language of the commissions of Trailbaston, of oyer and terminer, and of the peace, imply persistent attacks on travellers, especially when going to fairs and markets, and innumerable instances of highway robbery, mayhem and homicide. Nor does the language seem exaggerated as one examines the records of courts and the cases appearing on Close and Patent Rolls. Without a quantitative analysis of all possible evidence, it is difficult to ascertain the truth as between these two conflicting opinions.

IV.—Report of the Committee on the Paston Letters

The Committee appointed by the Council on the 12th December, 1865, to collate the fifth volume of the Paston Letters with the original manuscripts exhibited to the Society on the 30th November, 1865, by Philip Howard Frere, Esq., beg to report that, in conformity with the directions of the Council, they invited E. A. Bond, Esq., Joseph Burtt, Esq., P. H. Frere, Esq., James Gairdner, Esq., T. D. Hardy, Esq., Sir Frederic Madden, and Herman Merivale, Esq., to act on this Committee. Mr. Gairdner declined the invitation; and Mr. T. D. Hardy found himself unable, from the pressure of other business, to give the necessary attendance; but all the other gentlemen cordially accepted the invitation, and took part in the labours of the Committee.

II.—The Authenticity of the Paston Letters

The doubts which have lately been thrown upon the authenticity of the Paston Letters form a peculiarly appropriate subject for the consideration of the Society of Antiquaries, not merely because historical and antiquarian literature would suffer a grievous loss if the reasonableness of those doubts could be established, but more especially because in the process of their establishment some blame must necessarily fall upon this Society, for having at the time of the original publication allowed itself almost to put the seal of the Society to the genuineness of these important papers.
