LAW IN PRACTICE,
WHAT IS A RIOT?
SOME KINDRED OFFENCES.
(A LEGAL CORRESPONDENT IN
THE TIMES. "}
In a case heard by Mr. Justice Shearman a few weeks ago the plaintiff successfully claimed compensation from the Receiver of Mitropolitan Police out of public funds, in other words because a considerable part of the woodwork of a derelictand dilapidated house was used as fitel for bonfires in the Peace Night estivities of June 28th, 1919, and on the evidence before him the Judge came to the conclusion that there had been, a "ript" in the legal sense of that term. He appears to have arrived at that decision with some hesitation, and owners of property shouli by no means draw from his finding i the conclusion that any and every merry making in which damage may be done will entitle them to compensation under the Riot (Damages) Act, 1886.
The term "riot" includes two distinc ffences. To constitute a rint at Commen Law, which was the offener proved in the cuse referred to, there aro fire neregsury elements :-
(1) A number of persone, three at least ; (2) common purpose; (3) execution or enception of the common purpose: (4) an intent to help one another, by force if necessary against any person who may oppose them in the execution of their common purpose: (5) force or violence not merely used in demolishing, but dis played in such a manner as to alarm ut least one person of reasonable firmness and courage. (See Field . Receiver of Metropolitan Police, 23 The Times L.P... 730; 1007] 2 K.B., 853.)
If any one of these five elements is absent i
it is not a riot. If they are present it is a riot, whether the common purpose in itself be lawful or unlawful, unless the case is one where the law authorizes the use of force, us, for example, if a number of persons collect for the parposé of sup. pressing a riot actually in progress. It imay further be observed that the common purpose must be of a private character, such as forcing a particular employer to give better conditions to his workpeople, or the removal of obstructions to an alleged right of way. If the common purpose be of a public character, such as to compel the Government to change its policy, or to destroy all rights of private property, the offence is not riot, but high treason by "levying war."
THE TEMPER OF THE CROWD,
It is ou the question of violence causing alarm that claims for damages for riot are: apt to break. down: for on necasions of public rejoicing a crowd may become noisy. And even destructive and yet remain perfectly good tempered, so that no reasonable per son would be alarmed at their demonstra- tions.
Kiot at Common Law is a misdemeanour, punishable by fine and or imprisonment. Under section 1 of the Riot Act. 1714, riot in certain circumstances is made felony this felonions rioting was origin- ally a capital offerce, but is now punish- able by penal servitude for life or any less term. Te constitute the, offence there must be at least twelve persons" riotously and tumultuously assembled together to the disturbance of the public peage"; they toust continue riotously sul tumultuously toge ther for one hour after the proclamation in the King's name (commonly called "The Riot Act") ordering them to disperse has Leen read by a Justice of the Peace or other authorized person.
Demolition of houses or other buildings by rioters is also a statutory felony punish- able with penal servitude for life, whether the riot be at, common law or under the Riot Act, and for damage not amounting to demolition seven years' imprisonment may be awarded.
UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY AND RIOT. Sech, in its board outlines, is the English law as to riot: But persons contemplating the execution of a common purpose may be guilty of two lesser offences, which are deserving of a passing notice. The mere assembling together of a number of persons in circumstances calculated to endanger the public peace is an "anlawful assembly". punishable as a comin in law misdemeanour with fine und/or imprisonment. Internediste between unlawful assembly and riot is the offence of "riot.”..... An unlawful assembly becomes a rout when a motion is made towards the execution of the common pur- pases it is a riot," complete except for the execution of the purpose...
The four stages of the rioter's progress may be made clear by an illustration. At 6 p.m. A, B, and C meet and arm themselves with axes and crowbars and say, "We will go and smasi D's new factory." That is an unlawfal assembly; it remains an unlawful assembly daring the preparatory process of filling themselves with Dutch counge and Govern- ment ale at the nearest pablichouse. But when, at p... ty start to walk to D's premises to carry out their design it becomes arout, and continues a rout through the intermediate calls for fresh supplies of Datch courage. “Arrived at D's factory at 8p.m., the first blow is struck and, asedim- ing their demeanour shows an intention to resist interference by force and is calculated' to alarm oven one reasonably courageous person, the rout has become a common law riot. By 9 pm, nine other men bayc joined in the destruction. A magistrate may now "read the Riot Act," and at 10 p.m. the 12 rioters, if they are still making merry with D's property, become statutory rioters and guilty of felony. But if one has by that time thought discretion the better part of valour, the other 11 cannot be charged with the felony.
