James was not negligent of the navy. In five years preceding 1623, he built ten new ships, and expended fifty thousand pounds a year on the fleet. * Sir William Petty. Sir Edward Walker's Political Discourses, p. 270 * Coke's Inst. book iv. chap. 1. Consultation in parliament for the navy. Of the Invention of Shipping.
The general duties of the ancient parliaments were not legislative, but judicial, as will be shown more fully hereafter. The people were not represented in the parliaments at the time of Magna Carta, but only the archbishops, bishops, earls, barons, and knights; so that little or nothing would have been gained for liberty by Coke's idea that parliament had a legislative power.
I don t see how I can forget at once that Coke's conduct was insolently unwarranted, but * if he has anything to sayof a nature that might heal the breach I would be willing to to meet him in the openest manner."
But the good lawyers of those times were not of that opinion, but did believe that Mrs Turner was directly murthered by my lord Coke's law as Overbury was without any law.
Moreover, Coke's villainy would have sacrificed no lives. The Andromeda might be converted into scrap iron, and thereby give back, by perverted arithmetic, the money invested in her. But her white decks would not be stained with blood. Whatever risk was incurred would be his, the responsible captain's, his only.
Hello, Coke, hear the news? Well, Marjory Wainwright and Rufus Coleman , are engaged.. Straight ? Certainly ! Go ask the minister." Coke did not take Peter's word. "Is that so ?

According to Lord Campbell, Coke's "arrogance of demeanour to all mankind is unparalleled." Towards the end of the reign of Elizabeth, Coke, as Attorney-General, had had another task well suited to his taste, that of examining the prisoners stretched on the rack, at the Tower.
Yet, almost immediately after General Coke's departure Colonel Thorneycroft issued an order, without reference to superior authority, which upset the whole plan of operations, and rendered unavailing the sacrifices which had already been made to carry it into effect."
By and by, my wife being here, they sat down and eat a bit of their nasty victuals, and so parted and we to bed. Up to my chamber, and there all the morning reading in my Lord Coke's Pleas of the Crowne, very fine noble reading. After church time comes my wife and Sir W. Pen his lady and daughter; and Mrs. After dinner they all to church, and I by water alone to Woolwich, and there called on Mr.
That decided her. Coke, if he were not killed, would surely be driven out. She sprang to her feet, and literally ran down the steep ladder to the saloon deck. Through the open door of the officers' mess she witnessed another bizarre act an act quite as extraordinary in its way as Coke's jump over the steersman's body.
