| 释义 |
The Courts of the Vice-Warden of the Stannaries, commonly known as the stannary courts, were English courts in Cornwall and Devon that enforced the stannary law between the High Middle Ages and their abolition by the Stannaries Court (Abolition) Act 1896. From 1201, tin miners in Devon and Cornwall were exempt from the jurisdiction of all English courts other than that of the Vice-Warden of the Stannaries. The jurisdiction of the Cornwall stannary institutions covered the whole of the duchy, while the stannary courts of Devon had a reputation for harsh justice,[1] and once jailed a Westminster MP (Richard Strode).[2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.legendarydartmoor.co.uk/lydford_law.htm |title=Lydford Law |publisher=Legendarydartmoor.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2013-10-13}} {{English-law-stub}}2. ^ {{dead link|date=October 2013}} 11 : Politics of Cornwall|English law|History of Cornwall|Cornish mining organisations|Mining in Devon|History of Devon|Legal history of England|Culture in Devon|Dartmoor|Tin mining|Cornish culture |
