	Stannaries - LoveToKnow 1911
		Stannary courts exercised a jurisdiction peculiar to Cornwall and Devon.
		An officer was appointed by the duke of Cornwall or the Crown, who was lord warden of the stannaries, and the parliaments were assembled by him from time to time, in order to revise old or to enact new laws.
		By the Stannaries Courts Abolition Act 1896 the jurisdiction of the courts was transferred to the county courts.

	Stannary - Cornwall Online Cornish Stannary (Tin) Law and Institutions
		The Cornish Stannaries are a constituent part of the Duchy of Cornwall and are currently vested in the Prince Charles as Duke of Cornwall.
		Further Royal Charters affecting the administration of the Stannaries of Cornwall (and Devon) and the rights and privileges of tinners were those of King John in 1201, King Edward I in 1305, King Edward IV in 1466, and the Charter of Pardon of King Henry VII in 1508.
		Stannary Law is supposed to be enforced in the Truro County Court.

	Stannary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		King Edward I's 1305 Stannary Charter established Tavistock, Ashburton and Chagford as Devon's stannary towns, with a monopoly on all tin mining in Devon, a right to representation in the Stannary Parliament and a right to the jurisdiction of the Stannary Courts.
		The Devon Stannary Towns are all on the fringes of Dartmoor, which is the Granite upland which bore the tin.
		The Cornwall Records Office has records from the Vicewarden's Court of the Stannaries of Devon and Cornwall, mostly from the mid nineteenth century onwards, which is rather late in the overall history of the Stannary organisations.

	Stannary Courts and Parliaments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stannary Courts administered equity for the region's tin-miners and tin mining interests, and they were also courts of record for the towns dependent on the mines.
		Executive authority in stannary areas was exercised by the Lord Warden of the Stannaries.
		The privileges of the stannaries of Cornwall were confirmed by Edward III on the creation of the Duchy of Cornwall in 1337.

	stannery
		For the remainder of the 13th Century the Stannaries were under the Earls of Cornwall.
		The Stannaries were granted to the newly appointed Duke of Cornwall and his heirs of the Plantagenet dynasty, which ended in the death of Richard III.
		The Stannary until this date was an ancient Cornish Celtic system which included the regulation of its primary industry of tin mining.

	Devon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Stannary authority exceeded english law, and because this authority applied to part time miners (eg tin streamers) as well as full time miners the stannary parliament had significant power.
		The stannary parliament met in an open air parliament at Crockern Tor (Dartmoor) with stannators appointed to it from each stannary town.
		The parliament maintained its own gaol (at Lydford) and had a brutal and 'bloody' reputation for justice, and once even gaoled an English MP in the reign of Henry VIII.

	[No title]
		During the history of the stannaries, the Parliament was convened infrequently and usually at the behest of the Lord Warden, who supervises the stannaries, along with the vice-warden of the stannaries.
		Lostwithiel was formerly the capital of the Duchy of Cornwall and the remains of the thirteenth century stannary offices are still extant in the town.
		Supporters of the stannaries claim, not unreasonably, that although the stannary courts and parliament were embodied in the activities of the tin miners, they were in fact the incarnation of ancient Celtic traditions of the Cornish people.

	Devon's Mining History and Stannary parliament
		The authority of the stannary parliaments extended to anyone who was involved in the tin mining industry, and as this included people involved with 'tin streaming' (excavating river banks to remove the tin content) which was a popular activity needing little equipment, the laws therefore impacted a large proportion of the population.
		There was originally only one Stannary authority for both Devon and Cornwall, but by by the fourteenth century seperate parliaments had been established for each of Devon and for Cornwall.
		The last sitting of the Devon Stannary Parliament was in 1748, and it is rumoured that they adjourned to a pub in Tavistock.

	BBC - Action Network - - A9496957 - The Cornish Stannary Parliament
		The beginnings of the Stannary Institutions are shrouded in the mists of time, but the principle of an Assembly of Tinners is very much in line with the original democratic ideals of the Celts.
		The Cornish Stannary Parliament confirms that Cornwall has a de jure a status apart as a sovereign Duchy extraterritorial to England.
		A commonly cited basis for this argument is an 1856 court case in which Sir George Harrison successfully argued that the Duchy enjoyed the rights and prerogatives of a County palatine and that the Duke has rights over the whole territory of Cornwall befitting a King.

	Medieaval Mining by the Old Men - Dartmoor, Devon.
		The King set up "stannary" towns, locations to which the mineral had to be presented for assaying before being sent to the smelters proper to be turned into pewter etc:.
		The tinners themselves were so important to the King and his Treasury that he allowed them to have their own Parliament which had the power to ignore some of the rulings of the Parliament in London and Stannary Law took precedence over Common Law.
		These rights of the "Stannary Parliament" were very powerful and were a cause of great dissatisfaction to the people in general, especially the landowning classes.

		Ashburton is one of only four Stannary Towns in Devon and tin was mined in the area as far back as Roman times and considered as recently as the 1970s.
		The Stannary Towns were important centres for the trade of tin as all rough smelted tin had to be stamped before it was taken away for use.

		There is no written constitution to protect an indigenous national minority and no statutory guarantee of equality before the law.
		The permanent censorship of the Duchy past and its constitutional relationship with Cornwall and the stannaries has meant that the challenge to this policy, as represented by those claiming minority rights for the Cornish, is interpreted by the representatives of the English national majority as acts of disloyalty to the Crown.
		However implemented, impartial and independent European law can objectively interpret the rejection of the Cornish as a national minority of Britain to be institutionalised cultural and racial discrimination.
