public and domestic tranquillity

public and domestic tranquillity
Public peace. The expression means nothing more than the public peace, which is made up of the aggregate of individual peace and domestic peace, and is nothing more than a subdivision of the one and an aggregation of the other. One cannot lawfully disturb the quiet of domestic life by that same kind of offensive and tumultuous carriage which would anywhere constitute a breach of public peace, although no one but the family of which he is a member is present. Anno: 1 ALR 591.
