Title
A name given to the resource
Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years.
Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Title
A name given to the resource
Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years.
Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Title
A name given to the resource
Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years.
Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

�Be it remembere d
that up5n the tri a l of thi s cause
after the testimonu,. ·set forth in " Bill of Exceptions" number one
had been introduced/ the defendant, by counsel, prayed the Court
to grant the fol lowing instruc tio ns to the jury, to - wi t:
The Court ins t ruc ts the j ury that the a ccused is presumed to be innocent.
The Court inst ructs the jury t ha t the burden is upon
the Commonwealth t o prove pe yond all reasonable doubt that the
substance contained i n the package de live r ed to the defendant was
distilled spirits and unless this has been done, the jury must
f ind the defendant not guilt y .
The Court instruc t s the jury t ha t neither the express
bill, the a ffidavit n or the express records, nor all of them combmned, are sufficient proof to est ablish the guilt of ~he defendant in this case, for the burden rests on the Commonwealth to
prove be yond all reasonable doubt, that the contents of the packages received by the defendant was distilled spirits.
The Court instructs the jury that the defendant un~
ter the law is entitled to r eceive not oftener than~ach calendar
month, one quart of distilled li quor, and if the jury believe
from the evidence, that the defendant in the months of
ovember
and December, 1916 , did receive but one quart of distilled. liquor
in each of s aid months, then the jury will find the defendant;,
not guilty.
�'
�-2
If the jury shall find the defendant not guilty
they will say so, and no more; if they him guilty, they will say
so and ascertain his punishmen t, wh ich shall be a fine of not less
than Five Dollars ($5.00) or confineme nt in jail, or both in the
discretion of the jury.
To the granting of which instructio ns the Commonwealth by its Attorney objected, which objection to each of said
instructio ns the Court sustained , to which action of t h e Court
in sustainin g said objection s to said instructio ns and to each of
them the defendant by counsel excepted and pray

��Be it rememb ered that upon the trial of this cause the
Commonwealth to maintain the issue upon it s part, introduced a s
a witness W.
c.
Gaither, who testified as set forth in nBill of
Exceptions" number one, ·which here referred to as a part hereof,
and propounded to him the following question.
Did the defendant on November the B9th, 1916, make
an affidavit before you?
If so, produce and read same to the
jury.
Whereupon the defendant by counsel objected to the admission in evidence of the affidavit, on the ground that until
the Commonwealth had proven the corpus delicti, it was improper
to introduce i n evidence any a dmi s s ions of the defe ndant, which
objection the Court overruled and permitted the introduction of
Bill of Exceptions
said affidavit a ppearing ~ x x x in/number one, which is here
refe r red to, and t o which action of the Court, the defendant by
counsel exce pted, and pr ays that this h is 3rd "Bill of Exce ptions"
may be signed, s ealed and enrolled and made a part of the record
in this cause which is accordingly done t h is

Title
A name given to the resource
Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years.
Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years.
Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.
