	Board of Agriculture - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		An order in council abolished the name "veterinary department" in 1883 and substituted that of "agricultural department," but no alteration was effected in the work of the department, so far as it related to animals.
		In 1889 the Board of Agriculture (for Great Britain) was formed under an act of parliament of that year, and the immediate control of the agricultural department was transferred from the clerk of the privy council to the secretary of the Board of Agriculture, where it remains.
		The board also has charge of the inspection of schools (not being public elementary schools) in which technical instruction is given in agriculture or forestry, and institutes such experimental investigations as may be deemed conducive to the progress of agriculture and forestry.

		Highways Act consolidated and amended the law relating to highways in England (see 1773); forced labour for the maintenance of parish roads was abolished, and work on parish roads to be financed by the rates and on trust roads by tolls.

	Inclosure Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Inclosure Acts were a number of United Kingdom Acts of Parliament which inclosed common land in the country.
		Inclosure acts for small areas had been passed sporadically since the 12th century but the vast majority of them were passed between 1750 and 1860.
		Under this process there were over 5000 individual inclosure acts and 21% of land in England was enclosed, this amounts to nearly 7 million acres (28,000 km²).

		Exchanges are also frequently made by order of the Board of Agriculture under the Inclosure Acts, and there are also statutes enabling ecclesiastical corporations to exchange benefices with the approval of the ecclesiastical commissioners.
		The practice superseded the older one of ransom at the end of a war.
		By the Regimental Exchanges Act 1875 the sovereign may by regulation authorize exchanges by officers from one regiment to another.

	Inclosure
		Inclosure (also spelled enclosure) refers to two distinct processes: firstly, the bringing into cultivation of unproductive land, such as fens or wastes; and secondly, the consolidation of scattered medieval strip holdings into large blocks.
		Small inclosures had been arranged privately between landowners for many years, but the period 1760-1820 saw many large-scale inclosures made by Acts of Parliament.
		Parliamentary inclosure produced a great many records (acts, awards, maps, minutes and so on), and where these survive they offer a valuable and detailed insight into patterns of rural land holding.

	English Farming: Chapter XI
		In 1773, an important Act of Parliament had been passed, which attempted to help open-field farmers in adapting their inconvenient system of occupation to the improved practices of recent agriculture.
		Every one is aware of the noxious quality of weeds, whose downy and winged seeds are wafted by every wind, and are deposited upon those lands which are contiguous to them; and which before were perhaps as clean as the nature of them would admit, to the manifest injury of the careful and attentive farmer.
		A general Enclosure Act would, it was urged, reduce the cost of enclosing small areas, promote uniformity of legislative action by embodying the best methods of procedure and the most requisite safeguards which experience suggested, and provide means for overcoming opposition by modifying the existing powers of resistance.

	1800-1849
		The Act gave powers for the appointment of inspectors, because provisions of previous acts “were not duly carried into execution, and the Laws for the Regulation of the Labour of Children in Factories have been evaded”.
		The Act limited outdoor relief to the aged and infirm who were “wholly unable to work”; encouraged the building of workhouses, and introduced a spartan regime and the “Workhouse Test”; and considered any relief given to be a loan.
		Municipal Corporations Act (5and6 Will.IV, c.76) reformed the organisation and procedures of the boroughs; required the corporations to be elected by the ratepayers, to hold meetings open to the public and to have their accounts audited.

	The Planning Inspectorate - Definitive Map Orders: Consistency Guidelines - Inclosure Awards
		In assessing inclosure evidence, it should be remembered that the process evolved over several centuries, that different Inclosure Commissioners and surveyors were involved with different levels of expertise, operating in different parts of the country at different times with different local practices and traditions.
		Where a local inclosure act imported section 11 of the 1801 Act, any pre-existing roads on the lands being inclosed would be extinguished unless these had been ‘set out’ in the award by the Commissioners.
		However, the lack of consistency between different maps and awards with their corresponding Act(s) of Parliament, means that every case must be examined individually in the context of all the local circumstances and the prescribed details of the process, all of which may vary.

		He noted that each of the Inclosure Acts is expressed differently, and that it is the wording of the specific Act which may or may not make its provisions binding.
		The fifth Act we examined allows for inclosure fences to be established in East Hendred in Berkshire, but does not require them: it is possible that the Award would have set out further details.[233] The final Act in our sample, however, is again very specific in its requirements.
		This Act in particular (subject of course to the terms of the accompanying Award) would appear capable of passing the tests posed in the Flamborough case should it ever be brought before a Court.

	House of Commons - Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs - Thirteenth Report
		As might be expected, the Acts and their accompanying Awards are extremely thorough in dealing with the details of the procedure: with tithes, and fencing specifications; with the allocation of responsibility for maintenance of the boundaries; and even with the procedure should one of the appointed Commissioners die before completing his work.
		However, the greatest part of each Act's requirements was fulfilled many years ago: their continuing validity and significance was only widely recognised in 1997,[218] when the power of one such Act and Award to protect an inclosure hedgerow was upheld in a County Court.
		In his view, the terms of the Act were perfectly clear: he had therefore no option but to affirm their continuing validity, for "it is not for the Courts to connive at or appear to connive at a disregarding of an effective and relevant Act of Parliament by a Local Authority".

		Thus, then, it is clear that acts which are conducive to preservation of offspring or of the individual we consider as good relatively to the species, and conversely.
		And the necessary implication is an assertion of that full liberty to act which forms the positive element in the formula of justice; since, without full liberty to act, the relation between conduct and consequence cannot be maintained.
		Such acts are indeed, punishable; but they so commonly pass without detection, and the evils likely to be inflicted are so faintly conceived, that they are scarcely thought of as offenses; though they really ought to be regarded as something like crimes–if not actual crimes, then potential crimes.

		The Commons Act of that year put the emphasis on regulation of commons rather than inclosure, and the inclosure movement slowed.
		In 1913 a Select Committee of the House of Commons concluded that 'regulation of commons as distinguished from inclosure would be everywhere beneficial to all the interests concerned', and the last application for inclosure under the Inclosure Acts was made in 1914.
		The Law of Property Act 1925 introduced a general right of public access to certain commons, (which include those within borough or urban districts before 1 April 1974), and a requirement for the Secretary of State's consent to works on commons which were subject to rights of common at the commencement of the Act.

		It was the weapon which the Tudors employed to pass Acts of Attainder against feudal magnates and Acts of Supremacy against the church; and men complained that despotic authority had merely been transferred from the pope to the king, and infallibility from the church to parliament.
		Henry VIII's Act of Supremacy and Edward VI's of Uniformity were restored with some modifications, in spite of the opposition of the Catholic bishops, who contended that a nation had no right to deal independently with ecclesiastical matters, and suffered deprivation and imprisonment rather than recognize a schismatic national church.
		Few of James's arbitrary acts could not be justified by precedent, and not a little of his unpopularity was due to his efforts to exact from local gentry the performance of duties which had been imposed upon them by earlier parliaments.

	What is an allotment?
		From about 1760 the Acts of Inclosure changed the way land was owned and worked throughout the country.
		The Great Somerford (Wiltshire) Inclosure Act of 1806 was the first to make sure land was set aside as allotments for the labouring poor.
		The Government introduced several allotments acts to regulate the situation and for the first time the term allotment garden was used.

		Following the Inclosure Acts and the Commons Act of 1876 the land available for personal cultivation by the poor was greatly diminished.
		The law was first fully codified in the Small Holdings and Allotment Act of 1908, it was modified by the Allotments Act of 1922 and subsequent Allotments Acts up until 1950.
		Under the acts a local government is required to maintain an "adequate provision" of land, usually a large allotment field which can then be subdivided into allotment gardens for individual residents at a low rent.

		It appears clearly from the above circumstances that the proprietors of a lordship to be inclosed, give to the commissioners for executing the act, an unlimited power of taxing their estates, and including that unheard of power of being party, judge, and jury in the whole affair of paying themselves.
		Such immense confidence in the commissioners, might be attended with few inconveniences, if they were universally men of consider- able property, and known integrity; but when the hacknied sons of business, are employed (which is the case nine times out of ten) the proprietors have just reason to tremble at the situation of their purses.

		But at that moment a second shriek rent the air of the inclosure: it was not Gertrude's, and its effect upon her was to make her start round.Immediately behind her stood Rhoda Brook, her face drawn and her eyes red with weeping.

	Enclosure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historically, enclosure is primarily associated with the privatization of land in England from the 12th to 19th centuries.
		This led to a series of government acts addressing individual regions, which were given a common framework in the Inclosure Consolidation Act of 1801.
		Reflecting royal opposition to this practice, the anti-enclosure acts of 1489 and 1516 were aimed at stopping the waste of existing structures and farmland which would lead to lower tax revenues, fewer potential military conscripts for the crown, and more potential underclass rebels.
