Review of the Authorities as to the Repression of Riot of Rebellion, with special reference to criminal or civil liability By W. F. Finlason.
Published by Stevens & Sons (London 1868). vii + 224 p. Contents include discussions of the Lord George Gordon riots, the Manchester massacre, the Bristol
riots, martial law in Ireland, common law in the colonies, the powers of colonial governors, the Ceylon case, American authorities, and the Demerara
case. (From the preface: “The Jamaica case has caused great attention to be given to the subject of martial law, which is only a part of the law relating
to repression of riot, insurrection, or rebellion … for which, as Hawkins says, in his Pleas of the Crown, ‘no remedies can be too sharp or
severe.’”)
