Charles Molloy (lawyer)
Charles Molloy (1640 – 1690) was an Irish lawyer known as a writer on maritime law. Life He was born in King's County, Ireland, the son of John Molloy. Stuart Handley writing in the '' Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' casts doubt on tentative accounts of his early life. He entered Lincoln's Inn in 1667, and Gray's Inn in 1669. There is evidence he was called to the bar, and practised as a barrister. He died in Crane Lane Court, Fleet Street, London in 1690. Works Molloy was the compiler of an extensive treatise on maritime law and commerce, entitled ''De Jure Maritimo et Navali''. It was successful despite its derivative nature: its content was not much advance on the ''Consuetudo vel Lex Mercatoria'' by Gerard Malynes, and the coverage of law concerning bills of exchange was said by a later author to be inferior to the treatise of John Marius. It was a standard work on the subject, till superseded by the publications of James Alan Park, Samuel Marshall, and Lor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

17th-century Irish Lawyers
The 17th century lasted from January 1, 1601 ( MDCI), to December 31, 1700 ( MDCC). It falls into the early modern period of Europe and in that continent (whose impact on the world was increasing) was characterized by the Baroque cultural movement, the latter part of the Spanish Golden Age, the Dutch Golden Age, the French ''Grand Siècle'' dominated by Louis XIV, the Scientific Revolution, the world's first public company and megacorporation known as the Dutch East India Company, and according to some historians, the General Crisis. From the mid-17th century, European politics were increasingly dominated by the Kingdom of France of Louis XIV, where royal power was solidified domestically in the civil war of the Fronde. The semi-feudal territorial French nobility was weakened and subjugated to the power of an absolute monarchy through the reinvention of the Palace of Versailles from a hunting lodge to a gilded prison, in which a greatly expanded royal court could be more easily k ...

Sir James Allan Park KC (6 April 17638 December 1838) was a British judge and legal writer.

Bills Of Exchange
A negotiable instrument is a document guaranteeing the payment of a specific amount of money, either on demand, or at a set time, whose payer is usually named on the document. More specifically, it is a document contemplated by or consisting of a contract, which promises the payment of money without condition, which may be paid either on demand or at a future date. The term has different meanings depending on the use of the term as it is used in the application of different laws, and depending in which country and context it is used. Concept of negotiability William Searle Holdsworth defines the concept of negotiability as follows: #Negotiable instruments are transferable under the following circumstances: they are transferable by delivery where they are made payable to the bearer, they are transferable by delivery and endorsement where they are made payable to order. #Consideration is presumed. #The transferee acquires a good title, even though the transferor had a defective or n ...

Gerard Malynes
Gerard de Malynes (fl. 1585–1627) was an independent merchant in foreign trade, an English commissioner in the Spanish Netherlands, a government advisor on trade matters, assay master of the mint, and commissioner of mint affairs. His dates of birth and death are unknown. Life Malynes stated that his ancestors were from Lancashire. His father, a mint-master, may have emigrated about 1552 to Antwerp, where Gerard was born, and returned to England at the time of the restoration of the currency (1561), when Elizabeth obtained the assistance of skilled workmen from Flanders. Malynes showed how an outflow of precious metals could lead to a fall in prices for goods at home and a rise in prices abroad. This was an important clarification of the economic thought of the time. He suggested that higher import tariffs should be levied and exports of bullion prohibited, because he believed that a country's growth was related to the accumulation of precious metals.'The Penguin Dictionary of ...
