Show Orem Kiwanians hear history of Common Law Charter Canyon sponsors annual Children's Fair urem-urenevtt muca- weuxiesaay September z, ito ragfc t Area obituaries David A. Thomas, head librarian at the BYU Law School traced the history of the Common Law for Orem Kiwanis and showed how it provided the background for forming die klegal and political system used today. Using tapes and slides, Thomas showed that our Common Law history began with Anglo Saxon pirates raiding Britain's east coast and settling set-tling their families there during the dark decades of 5th Century AD. "This was a background step for civiliation," said Thomas, "as they overturned 350 years of Roman rule." Seltic and Roman periods before the Anglo Saxon invasion also are part of our legacy from primitive to modern law. Seltic tribes were based on blood relationships and the chief of each tribe was responsible for custom law and to see that justice was served. serv-ed. Religion was directed by the feared and powerful Bruids who also passed on the oral traditions, predicted futures, and counseled. After the Romans conquered Seltic Britain, the Druids refused to submit to the Roman legions, this was intolerable to the Romans who eventually even-tually undertook an all-out campaign to exterminate the Druids early in the 2nd Century AD.

Tragically for history, the Druids had refused to commit their lore to writing and when the Romans annihilated an-nihilated them, they also wiped out Seltic legal traditions. The Romans brought culture and civilized amenities to Britain. They introduced theatre, public baths, schools and professional civil service. The most important contribution was Roman law. Jurists gave much attention atten-tion to property and commercial law. Civil and human rights were assured to citizens. Many principles of Roman law were codified under the direction of the Emperor Justinian. They are considered so sound they are still found today. For 350 years, the Romans ruled Britain but left no trace of their Common Law. The end of Roman rule was terrible terri-ble and total when the Anglo Saxons invaded and conquered Britain. Culture and civilized law as it existed disappeared. England entered the dark ages, the real beginnings of our Common Law. Eventualy Christianity influenced influenc-ed the nation. After two centuries under the paganism Ethelbert, King of the Selts was taught by the missionary mis-sionary Augustine in 600 AD. This opened the way for eventual conversion conver-sion of all the British Germans. Ethelbert incorporated Roman traditions tradi-tions including making written collections collec-tions of laws. Known as "Dooms" they are the first record of Common Law beginnings and reveal a barbaric society and customs little changed from their Germanic origins. Down the ages laws changed with invasions and wars and conquering nations. Vikings, Alfred the Great, Normans, William the Conquerer, and others kept some laws and changed chang-ed others. The Normans apparently brought with them a high regard for law. The ancestor of the modern grand jury began with King Henry II. The Common Law principle of original writ also began about this time along with the Court of Common Pleas and other legal customs. Edward I in 1268 was England's greatest law giving king. He became the predecessor to the modern English Parliament. A system of judicial review found a favorable setting in the American Colonies. The most impressive statement state-ment of fundamental natural law in American legal history is found in the Declaration of Independence. By 1700 the colonies began formally for-mally acknowledging English Common Com-mon Law as the basis of their own legal system. From then until today, it is common com-mon to find in most states a general Common Law acceptance statute which declares Common Law of England as far as it is not repugnant to, or in conflict with, the Constitution and Laws of the United States, as the rule of decision in all courts of the state. ; ' The last two centuries have seen fundamental shifts in the U.S. and in the United Kingdom. Although common com-mon Law and Common Law courts continue to be fundamental to the legal and constitutional systems of these countries, the reliance on legislation and codification to provide -order and certainty has pushed Common Com-mon Law into the background.

Utah native display open at Larsen Gallery The plains of northeastern Colorado provided inspiration for a selection of drawings and paintings by artist Larry Prestwich, which work is featured at a show now open at Brigham Young University's B.F. Larsen Gallery. The show is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday until September 30. An art instructor at Northeastern Nor-theastern Junior College in Sterling, Colo., Prestwich says his work is "figurative" rather than illustrative because he doesn't use art to depict specific events. Rather, he says the work evolves from ideas and feelings connected to scriptural subjects. The pieces in the BYU show, which include pencil drawings, pastels, watercolors and oils, are examples of the artist's diversity and comfort in many media. Born in Spring City, Utah, Prestwich grew up in Salt Lake City and received a bachelor's degree in art from the University of Utah. He graduated from BYU with a master's degree and spent two years on the BYU art faculty before moving to Colorado. Robert L. Hassell Robert LaMar Hassell, 74, of Orem, died Wednesday.
