Shapiro Sher Guinot & Sandler

Raising the Bar: "The Trial of William Penn"
Trial lawyers who lack familiarity with great trials of the past may as well be trying cases by the seat of their pants. Surely one of the great trials in Western Civilization is the trial of William Penn in 1670. This is the same William Penn who received from King Charles II of England in 1681 a large land grant, “Penn’s Woods,” which Penn named after his father and subsequently became known as the state of Pennsylvania. Penn established the colony of Pennsylvania so that Quakers and others could enjoy religious freedom.

But in the summer of 1670, when Penn was 26 years old and after he had become a Quaker, he was arrested in London on a charge of disturbing the King’s peace. The charge resulted from Penn preaching nonconformist religious views at an outdoor meeting in London at a time when the monarchy was aggressively suppressing religious dissent.

At the outset of the trial in the Old Bailey, London’s central criminal court, Penn demanded to know under what law he was charged. It is reported that the following exchange occurred between Penn and the presiding magistrate, Mayor Sam Starling:

Penn: I desire you would let me know by what law it is you prosecute me, and upon what law you ground my indictment.
