Forster, Thomas. The Lay-mans Lawyer, Reviewed & Enlarged, being a Second Part of the Practice of the Law, Relating to the Punishment of Offences Committed Against the Publique Peace. London: Printed for H. Twyford and J. Price, 1656.
Originally published in 1654, this revised and expanded version appeared two years later. Thomas Forster presents a basic overview of criminal law beginning with "forms of process, indictments and proceedings to judgment." The latter part of the book discusses pardons and "remissions of punishments" as well as the roles of the various officers of the law.
