HAW HATTON, SIR CHRIST. A Treatise concerning Statutes, and ihe Exposition thereof. 12mo. London. 1677. Falsely fathered upon Hatton, and is well known to have been written by another hand, and is, withal, a poor production. 2 Campbell's Lives, 15G. HAWKE, MICH. The Grounds of the Laws of England; di- gested methodically into Cases, for the use and benefit of all Practisers and Students. 8vo. London. 1657. HAWKERS AND PEDLARS. The Law of Hawkers and Ped- lars. By a Country Magistrate. 12mo. London. 1822. HAWKINS, W. A Treatise on the Pleas of the Crown ; or, a System of the Principal Matters relating to that Subject, digested under proper Heads. 8th ed. By John Curwood. 2 vols. 8vo. London. 1824. " There are very few juridical writers, whose compilations are more full of useful knowledge, or more methodically digested, even down to the minute sub-divisions, than the Pleas of the Crown, by Mr. Serj. Haw- kins. In this admired and authoritative work the student will readily find information in almost every point of Law relating to Crimes and Punish- ments." The 3d ed., 2 vols., fol., 1739, was edited by G, L. Scott, and the fifth and sixth editions were very much enlarged by Thomas Leach. Mr. Curwood cut oiF "some of Leach's excrescences," and added a good selection of leading Cases, rarely referring to the rulings of a single judge. Hawkins' Treatise was formerly much esteemed, but later pub- lications upon Crown Law have somewhat impaired its value as a prac- tical work. 2 Woodes. Lee. 488, n ; Brooke's Bib. Leg.

The Statutes at large, from Magna Charla to the seventh year of King George the Second. 9 vols. fol. London. 1734-58. This collection of the Statutes is much esteemed. The compiler, with the assistance of Mr. Brooke, collated the original records to 2 Geo. IL, and gave most of the more ancient Statutes in their respective Latin and French texts, with translations of such as had been before translated, and as appeared to be in force or use ; but of some of the Statutes a translation only is given, without the original text. Hawkins' edition oriorinally contained but G vols., but was afterwards continued by the addition of three more. 1 Coopers' Pub. Rec. 133; Bridg. Leg. Bib. 324 ; Brooke's Bib. Leg. Ang. 171. 375
