Reports of Cases in the Courts of Star Chamber and High Commission is a book written by Samuel Rawson Gardiner in 1886. The book is a collection of reports on various cases that were heard in the Star Chamber and High Commission courts in England during the 16th and 17th centuries. These courts were known for their strict enforcement of religious and political conformity, and the cases included in this book cover a wide range of topics, including blasphemy, heresy, sedition, and witchcraft. The book provides an insight into the legal system of the time and the harsh punishments that were often handed down to those who were found guilty. Gardiner's work is considered an important historical document, shedding light on a little-known aspect of English legal history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
