Re the letters from Kay Murphy 27 November and Estelle Smart 29 November , the Hexham Courant reported on a hustings event last week.

My legal hero is John Lilburne, the Leveller , born in 1615. He was not a lawyer, but his courage and passion for justice established key reforms in the criminal law which are now among our most cherished liberties.In his early 20s, Lilburne was brought before the Star Chamber accused of sending of factious and seditious libels out of Holland into England . When questioned stanley canada he refused to answer, saying: I know it is warrantable by the law of God, and I think by the law of the land, that I may stand on my just defence, and not answer your interrogatories, and that my accusers ought to be brought face to face, to justify what they accuse me of. He was whipped and pilloried, but he persisted in claiming his right to remain silent and to hear and challenge the evidence against him. In 1641 he was vindicated by the House of Commons, which resolved that: The sentence of the Star Chamber given against John Lilburne is illegal and against the liberty of the subject: and also bloody, cruel, barbarous, and tyrannical. Later, however, he accused the Commons of reviving the practices of the Star Chamber when he was arrested for publishing pamphlets advocating religious toleration and attacking suppression of dissent. Again he refused to answer incriminating questions, con stanley cup demned the secrecy of the proceedings, and cited the authority of Magna Carta. He also refused to kneel before the House of Lords 鈥?stanley france the first to reject this humiliating practice |
