Thomas Jefferson, Steven H. Gifis And The Common Law.

I think I've touched on these subject before. But I found these two quotes recently. You know, rather speculate I find it easier just to quote people. Then I just share their quotes.

“The Common law existed, while the Anglo-Saxons were yet Pagans, at a time when they had never yet heard the name of Christ pronounced, or knew that such a character had ever existed.”

Thomas Jefferson,

The original common law felonies were

• felonious homicide
• mayhem
• arson
• rape
• robbery
• burglary
• larceny
• prison breach and
• rescue of a felon

Law Dictionary by Steven H. Gifis (Barron's Educational Series, Inc.)
