%Tmm Nf Tjj E Iwttk 3iP vf A POLITICAL AND LITERARY REVIEW. "The one Idea which History exhibits as evermore developing itself into greater distinctness is the Idea of Humanity—the noble endeavour to throw down all the barriers erected between men. by prejudice and one-sided views ; and, by setting aside the distinctions of Religion, Country, and Colour, to treat the whole Human race as one brotherhood, having one great object—the free development of our spiritual nature."—Humboldt's Cosmos.

Much inclosure of Common Land, Open Fields and Moor Land (or Waste), formerly farmed collectively by the residents on behalf of the Lord of the Manor, had taken place by the 18th century, but the uplands of County Durham remained largely unenclosed. Inclosures, to consolidate land-holdings, divide the land (into Allotments) and fence it off from other usage, could be made under a Private Act of Parliament or by general agreement of the landowners concerned. In the latter case the Agreement would be Enrolled as a Decree at the Court of Chancery in Durham and/or lodged with the Clerk of the Peace, the senior government officer in the County, so may be preserved in Quarter Sessions records. In the case of Parliamentary Enclosure a Local Bill would be put before Parliament which would pass it into law as an Inclosure Act. The Acts appointed Commissioners to survey the area concerned and determine its distribution as a published Inclosure Award.

  • 'Common Rights' - What Are They?
    'Common Rights' - What are they? An investigation into rights of passage and rights of land use (or rights of common) Alan Shelley PG Dissertation in Landscape Architecture Cheltenham & Gloucester College of Higher Education April2000 Abstract There is a level of confusion relating to the expression 'common' when describing 'common rights'. What is 'common'? Common is a word which describes sharing or 'that affecting all alike'. Our 'common humanity' may be a term used to describe people in general. When we refer to something 'common' we are often saying, or implying, it is 'ordinary' or as normal. Mankind, in its earliest civilisation formed societies, usually of a family tribe, that expanded. Society is principled on community. What are 'rights'? Rights are generally agreed practices. Most often they are considered ethically, to be moral, just, correct and true. They may even be perceived, in some cases, to include duty. The evolution of mankind and society has its origins in the land. Generally speaking common rights have come from land-lore (the use of land). Conflicts have evolved between customs and the statutory rights of common people (the people of the commons). This has been influenced by Church (Canonical) law, from Roman formation, statutory enclosures of land and the corporation of local government. Privilege, has allowed 'freemen', by various customs, certain advantages over the general populace, or 'common people'. Unfortunately, the term no longer describes a relationship of such people with the land, but to their nationhood.

  • Legislation of the United Kingdom: Primary Legislation
    SOCIAL SCIENCES COLLECTION GUIDES OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS www.bl.uk/subjects/national-and-international-government-publications Legislation of the United Kingdom: primary legislation INTRODUCTION Sources for the law in the United Kingdom are twofold. The deposit of law is interpreted as each case comes to trial and is decided in court. This applies equally to the common law of the land that has evolved over centuries and is not embodied in any legal enactments, and to statute law which still has to be interpreted by the courts as they apply it. Decisions and interpretations reached in each case bind courts of the same or lower level when applying the same law in future cases. This is termed case law and is not covered by this guide. The other source of law, explained here, is legislation - laws enacted by lawful lawmaking authorities, principally by the Westminster Parliament. Originally Scotland and Wales were independent before their unions with England. Wales was united with England in 1284, and in 1536 and 1542 English common law and statute law were applied to it by acts which created its present boundaries (less Monmouthshire) and gave it representation in the English Parliament. No pre-union Welsh law remains in force. The Welsh Assembly created in 1999 did not have full legislative powers and could pass only secondary legislation on devolved issues until April 2007. Its powers were increased by the Government of Wales Act 2006 which created the Welsh Assembly Government as a separate entity. From May 2007, The Assembly was able to pass primary legislation (Assembly Measures) for the "Matters" in the 20 "Fields" outlined in Schedule 5 of the Government of Wales Act 2006.

  • Formal Agreements and the Enclosure Process: the Evidence from Hampshire* by JOHN CHAPMAN and SYLVIA SEELIGE1K
    i Formal Agreements and the Enclosure Process: The Evidence from Hampshire* By JOHN CHAPMAN and SYLVIA SEELIGE1K Abstract Writings on enclosure after I7OO often concentrate largely on the parliamentary movement, and any discussion of non-parliamentary aspects tends to ignore the distinction between the different processes involved. Amounts and types of land are rarely specified with any precision. An extensive survey of Hampshire casts some light on the progress of enclosure by formal agreement, one specific type of non- parliamentary enclosure. It is shown that this type of enclosure occurred more frequently and covered more land than previously thought, forming a testing ground for techniques employed by parliamentary act. Estimates are given, from the statistics collected, for the acreage involved, and the types of land are shown. The temporal and spatial distribution of formal agreement enclosure is analysed, and a comparison with the extent of parliamentary enclosure is made. Finally, the importance of piecemeal enclosure in Hampshire is highlighted. T IS GENERALLY accepted that some that 'through the eighteenth century and 75 per cent of England escaped the the first half of the nineteenth, parliamen- I effects of parliamentary enclosure, but tary enclosures were accompanied by div- the extent and timing of other methods isions and enclosures neither ratified nor of enclosure have remained a matter of authorized by Act of Parliament', he then controversy.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: January 22, 2019 Accepted: February 28, 2019 Online Published: March 5, 2019 doi:10.5539/ilr.v8n1p30 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ilr.v8n1p30 1. INTRODUCTION At present, the legal situation in respect of land in England and Wales is confusing. Title to most land in England and Wales is now registered. However, title to some 15% (or less) is still governed by older legal principles, including the need for title deeds. Further, there are many antiquated pieces of legislation relating to land still existing - various pieces of which are obsolete and others which should be re-stated in modern language. For a list of existing land legislation, see Appendices A-B. Antiquated (and obsolete) land legislation complicates the legal position as well as prevents the consolidation of English land law. Such has major financial implications since a clearer, consolidated, land law would help speed up land sales - including house purchases - and reduce costs for businesses and individuals. Also, old laws can (often) be a ‘trap for the unwary.’1 The purpose of this article is to consider various ancient pieces of land legislation and to argue that they should be repealed. In particular, this article argues for the repeal of the following: Inclosure Acts.
