Hue & Cry – posse comitatus

"The roots of local responsibility for crime prevention seem to lie in Anglo-Saxon customs that placed prevention squarely on the local community through the tithing and the “Hue and Cry”. Every male over the age of 12 had to belong to a group of nine others, called a tithing. These ten men were responsible for the behaviour of each other. If one of them broke the law, the others had to bring that person before the court. The sanction, to make the system work, was that if they did not, they would all be held responsible for the crime." Credited to and Published by the Bingham Heritage Trails Association

By the Statute of Winchester of 1285, 13 Edw. I cc. 1 and 4, it was provided that anyone, either a constable or a private citizen, who witnessed a crime shall make hue and cry, and that the hue and cry must be kept up against the fleeing criminal from town to town and from county to county, until the felon is apprehended and delivered to the sheriff.

All able-bodied men, upon hearing the shouts, were obliged to assist in the pursuit of the criminal, which makes it comparable to the posse comitatus. It was moreover provided that "the whole hundred … shall be answerable" for any theft or robbery, in effect a form of collective punishment. Those who raised a hue and cry falsely were themselves guilty of a crime.

The reference to "the whole hundred" has to do with prominent system of government known as the tens, hundreds and thousands which stemmed back to before ancient Israel. All free people used some form of these networking groups bound together by a common sense of justice, or what became known as the common law.

Anglo-Saxons, Tuns, were divided into family groups of ten, called a Tithing. Ten of these family assemblies formed a hundred and ten hundreds formed a thousand. They were the means by which all charity, justice and warfare were conducted.

In Oliver Twist, Fagin reads the Hue and Cry which was an early name of the weekly Police Gazette (UK) magazine detailing crimes and wanted people.

Etymology

It is possible that it is an Anglicization via Anglo-French of the Latin, hutesium et clamor, meaning "a horn and shouting". But other sources indicate that it has always been a somewhat redundant phrase meaning an outcry and cry. "Hue" appears to come from the Old French huer which means to shout, and Old French crier which means to cry.

“The civil law reduces the unwilling freedman to his original slavery; but the laws of the Angloes judge once manumitted as ever after free.”^[1]

“The term republic, res publica, signifies the state independently of its form of government.”^[2]

Social contract bind the people as they apply to the Welfare state for benefits at the expense of their neighbor. This coveting relationship with the Benefactors of the State makes the people human resources.

Brotherhood is the ally of the honorable.

During hard times or in the case of war people form natural bonds that often give them more strength than their adversaries. Loyalty, honor, brotherhood bring a strength of their own to a situation that makes a superior regiment to what should be considered a weaker opponent.

The social compact enforced by men who exercise authority over the community can undermine the brotherhood of society. Social welfare dependent upon faith hope and charity nurture the honor of society so that when catastrophe overcomes a community the people are better prepared to meet it with mutual resolve and concern, having become accustomed to the process over time.

The heart of society pumps the blood of love and charity or avarice and greed.

Early American colonies had to defend one another against the elements of a wilderness and the savagery of those times. It altered society so that love and honor was already the life blood of that society.

There is a lot of injustice today but it goes unseen because the people have become slothful and apathetic. There needs to be a hue and cry in the land and the people need to learn to attend to the Weightier matters.

The socialist state weakens the poor in a time of affluence and then bankrupts the state in spirit and in truth.

We need to repent and turn around and Live as if the state does not exist.
