Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall: Somerset v Stewart - Dr Dominique Bouchard
250 years ago, on 22 June 1772, William Murray, Baron (later Earl of) Mansfield and Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King’s Bench, ruled in the case of Somerset v Stewart that it was unlawful for Charles Stewart to transport James Somerset, an African he had purchased in Virginia, forcibly out of England. When the verdict was announced, it sent political and legal shockwaves through Britain and its American colonies. Although the decision was technically a narrow one, it was popularly taken to mean that slavery was illegal in England.
Dr Dominique Bouchard is a 2021 Clore Fellow and an Honorary Visiting Fellow at the University of Leicester. She is Head of Learning and Interpretation at English Heritage.

Police investigate unseen footage of 'Somerset Gimp' as he attempts to harass locals
Police are investigating unseen footage, revealed by The Telegraph today, showing the suspected Somerset Gimp confronting two chefs who told him to get home safe.
The 70-second clip was filmed by Alex Warren, 19, in the village of Cleeve just after midnight on October 25, shortly before police arrested a man in his 30s at a nearby address.
An investigation is now under way into whether the suspect is the same man who has stalked the surrounding villages late at night while wearing a gimp suit.
Mr Warren and his friend Charlie Bond had been turning from a night at the pub to celebrate Mr Bond’s 20th birthday when the masked stranger darted towards them.
Instead of provoking confusion and panic - as had been the case for many of the people harassed by the Somerset Gimp - Mr Warren instea...

The Story of James Somerset
"Lord Mansfield...set up a series of trial dates for them to decide whether Charles Steuart had the right to sell [James Somerset], or whether James Somerset had the right not to be sold. In one of the most famous trials...Lord Mansfield...issued his opinion that slavery was so odious that the common law would not support it." - Steve Wise

However, English common law never formally legalized the practice of slavery. In Somerset versus Stewart, this distinction decided the fate of a slave who escaped and was recaptured by his master during a trip to England.
James Somerset was a slave bought by Charles Stewart in Virginia. Stewart brought Somerset to England, where Somerset escaped but was ultimately recaptured. Stewart had Somerset imprisoned on a ship bound for Jamaica, where he planned to sell Somerset to work on a plantation. Before the ship left England, a group of antislavery advocates petitioned the King’s Bench for a writ of habeas corpus to determine whether Somerset’s imprisonment was legal.

250 years ago, on 22 June 1772, William Murray, Baron (later Earl of) Mansfield and Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King’s Bench, ruled in the case of Somerset v Stewart that it was unlawful for Charles Stewart to transport James Somerset, an African he had purchased in Virginia, forcibly out of England. When the verdict was announced, it sent political and legal shockwaves through Britain and its American colonies. Although the decision was technically a narrow one, it was popularly taken to mean that slavery was illegal in England.
Dr Dominique Bouchard is a 2021 Clore Fellow and an Honorary Visiting Fellow at the University of Leicester. She is Head of Learning and Interpretation at English Heritage.
Introduction music: Quartetto concertans, no. 6 in B flat major by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745-1799). Saint-Georges was born in Guadeloupe, but from the age of 7 lived most of his life in France, with spells in England and Guadeloupe. He wrote his first violin quartet in 1772, the same year as the Somerset judgement; the ‘Au gout du jour’ quartet was published in 1779. He was a gifted violinist, composer, conductor, swordsman and athlete.
@Chineke! has been commissioned by @EnglishHeritage and @ShoutOutLoud to write a piece based partly upon his music to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Somerset judgement.
