Peace in Europe<\/h1>\n

Definition of Peace<\/h2>\n

\n

In early times criminal matters and offences against public order were within the jurisdiction of local lords and local Courts, and the King’s Court exercised jurisdiction over offences committed within the vicinity of the King himself: committed “contra pacem Domini,” or “against the peace of our Lord the King”.
By a fiction that the King’s peace extended to the highways and ultimately over the whole realm, the King’s Court acquired its comprehensive jurisdiction. It remained necessary to allege in an indictment that an offence was committed contra pacem Domini until the Criminal Procedure Act, 1851. See Articles of the Peace; Bill of Peace; Clerk of the Peace; Commission of the Peace; Justice of the Peace<\/p>\n<\/h4>\n
