Laws of the Stannarius of Cornwall, Made at the Convocation or Parliament of Tinners, at Trurd, Sept. 13, Anno 27^0 Ges. II.

Stannarius, mines from which tin bearing ore is dug. The most noted stannarius are those of Devon + Cornwall in England. Around the mines of these two countries there has arisen a body of law + customary usage peculiar to the localityy + not imitated or duplicated in any other mines in England. By early usage the perogative of the Crown was extended so as to cover these tin mines, athough elsewhere it reaches only to gold + silver. King Johan (?1167-1216), in a charter to the Tuniners, gave them the privilege of mining + working anywhere in the two countries + this was confirmed by subsequent monarchs, until Edward III (1312-1377) created his son Duke fo Cornwall with the stannaries as a perpetuity of the duchy. The Doke who is now always the Prince of Wales is represented by a warden + vice wardens. In former times representative assemblies of the Turiners (called parliaments) were summoned by the Warden for the regulation of the stannaries + redress of greviances: the last of them was held in 1752. The Stannary Courts are courts of record held by the warden + vice warden (of the same limited exclusive character as the courts - patatine) in wich the tuniners have the privilege of suing + being sued. They were remodeled + regulated by a series of acts of Parliament. Appeals from them are now taken to the Court of Appeals + finally to the House of Lords.
