The Enforcement of the Statutes of Labourers, Vol. 32: During the First Decade After the Black Death 1349-1359 (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from The Enforcement of the Statutes of Labourers...)
Excerpt from The Enforcement of the Statutes of Labourers, Vol. 32: During the First Decade After the Black Death 1349-1359 While taking a course of lectures on the history of English Poor Law, given by Professor F. H. Giddings of Columbia University, I became interested in the law of parochial settlement and in its effect on the mobility of the working-man. My original purpose had been to give an account of its origin and development and of its final repeal during the era of the abolition of the Corn laws. Beginning with a study of the earliest instances of national legislation dealing with the labouring classes, I was, of course, led to consider the ordinance and the statute of labourers of 1349 and 1351, and found that although these measures and their consequences had been frequently discussed by economic historians, no detailed investigation had as yet been made of the methods and machinery by which they were enforced. This monograph presents the results of such an investigation, based chiefly on an examination of the manuscript sources in the Public Record Office, London. I am indebted to many scholars both here and in England for valuable assistance on specific problems, and in the discussion of these problems I have sought to make clear my indebtedness. To others I am under still heavier obligations. My warm appreciation is due to my former teacher, Professor C. M. Andrews, once of Bryn Mawr, now of Johns Hopkins, who has given me freely of his time and has helped me with many suggestions.

(With half the population wiped out after the Black Death,...)
With half the population wiped out after the Black Death, a labor shortage was created leading to wage caps. This study describes the statutes enacted (or decreed), how they were administered, and the effects they had. This monograph presents the results of an investigation of the ordinance and the statute of laborers of 1349 and 1351, based chiefly on an examination of the manuscript sources in the Public Record Office, London.

Bertha Putnam
Edit ProfileEducation
She attended Bryn Mawr College, and got her bachelor"s degree in 1893.
Career
She later taught at the Brearley School in New York City, before getting her doctorate from Columbia University in 1908. She started teaching at Mount Holyoke College in 1908, and was made professor in 1924. Here she remained until her retirement in 1937.
Her career, from Bryn Mawr to Holyoke, ran parallel to that of Nellie Neilson, a fellow medievalist.
She also worked closely with Eileen Power and Helen Cam. An attack of shingles left her partially blind in the late 1940s.
Putnam died of arteriosclerosis in South Hadley, Massachusetts in 1960. Her main focus was the office of the Justice of the Peace, and how it developed from the Conservator of the Peace in the earlyto mid-14th century.
In particular she proved the importance of the Statute of Labourers in giving these officers the right to decide cases, and thereby establishing them as justices.
The change was sanctioned by the Statute of Westminster of 1361. Some of her main contentions, particularly that this process represented a radical devolution of judicial authority to the localities, have since been challenged.
