  Waste - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The statute of Marlborough (1267) made a "fermor" (as above defined) committing waste liable to grievous amercement as well as to damages, and followed Magna Carta in forbidding waste by a guardian.
The statute of Gloucester (1278)(1278) enacted that a writ of waste might be granted against a tenant for life or years or in courtesy or dower, and on being attainted of waste the tenant was to forfeit the land wasted and to pay thrice the amount of the waste.
In addition to the writ of waste the writ of estrepement (said to be a corruption of exstirpamentum, and to be connected with the French estropier, to lame) lay to prevent injury to an estate to which the title was disputed.

 Marlborough Wiltshire England
The pre-historic Mound in the grounds of Marlborough College is the first visual evidence of human occupation in the area, probably of the same age as the larger Silbury Hill five miles to the west.
King John, apart from being married here spent much time in Marlborough and even established a Treasury, later Henry III was also married here and held Parliament when the "Statute of Marlborough" was passed, this gave rights and privileges to small land owners and limited the right of the King to take procession of land.
Marlborough has developed since then as most other small towns and villages, building and re-building often brought about by fire but in 1642 this peaceful existence was shattered by Civil War.

Marlborough (pronounced "Maulbruh" - /ˈmɔːlbɹə/ in IPA) is a market town in the English county of Wiltshire on the Old Bath Road, the old main road from London to Bath.
Henry III held Parliament here, in 1267, when the "Statute of Marlborough" was passed (this gave rights and privileges to small land owners and limited the right of the King to take possession of land).
In 1642, Marlborough's peace was shattered by the English Civil War.

 Clarke v. Marlborough (15/5/2001)
The first is that Marlborough UK and Marlborough Liechtenstein acted as Bacon's agent in the sale of his paintings and were under a duty to account to him for the profits they received subject to a due allowance for the services they provided.
On this basis it is to be inferred that Marlborough Liechtenstein had Bacon's authority to sell the works on his behalf in accordance with the terms of the agreement and there is in evidence a letter from Bacon indicating that he saw the agreement in draft and approved it.
In the current defence of Marlborough UK (paragraph 14.1) this is effectively admitted although it is denied that Bacon placed exclusive reliance on their advice and guidance or that such advice and guidance as they gave created a confidential relationship.

The dukedom of Marlborough is the only one now in existence to have been conferred on a man who was born the son of a commoner, and with no prospect of inheriting either a title or large estates(1).
The statute 6 Anne c 6 did not affect the imperial titles, which accordingly became extinct upon the death of the great duke of Marlborough, in 1722.

 The Stair Society - The Berne Manuscript (NAS PA5/1) Introduction
Thus in the chapter which seems to represent an 1197 statute, it is provided that the magnates and prelates have been sworn to assist the king to take "vindicta" of wrongdoers, while they themselves will not take "pecunia" from the accused whereby justice is not done.
Another chapter speaks of how the king will have full right of groups of relatives who themselves vengefully slay the killers of members of their kindred "as far as they were fully breakers of his peace".
Lastly, in the chapter containing the statute of 1180, it is provided that the magnates and prelates are not to hold their courts except when the king's sheriff or his sergeants are present to see that they are conducted rightly.

This was not a codification like Justinian’s (some 2 million words), but it brought statute to the forefront of the legal system and it was unprecedented in England.
The statutes of the reign of Edward I were to form the core syllabus of the law teaching at the Inns of Court through the later middle ages, and their particularist drafting technique was to shape English statutory draftsmanship into the modern period.
But the Edwardian statutes retained their centrality to the idea of the Common Law.

 Subinfeudation and Subterfuge
In this context, it is all the more ironic — and puzzling — that a statute that apparently destroyed the military, social, and psychological bonds of English feudalism would have been issued, as Powicke describes, “at the instance of the magnates” who were at the top of that social order.
Pollock and Maitland portray the statute as a two-part move: it provides for free alienation, but bans subinfeudation — tending to expand the feudal map horizontally, as it were, but preventing its vertical expansion.
The statute arose out of the balancing of a number of interests in a complex social environment, and cannot be seen as a concession to feudal lords that resulted in feudalism’s destruction.

She could not sue under Chapter Five of the Statute of Gloucester, because in an action under the statute she would have to claim that defendant had committed waste to her disinheritance.
In effect, Bereford allows dowagers to use covenant to bring an action under the statute without claiming that the waste is to their disinheritance, at least where the heir has already recovered against her.
floor for trespass actions in the central courts was extended without statute to cases of debt and detinue and in these cases became a ceiling for litigation in county court by the 1290s.

 DANAYA C. WRIGHT | De Manneville v. De Manneville: Rethinking the Birth of Custody Law under Patriarchy | Law and ...
This statute moved guardianship decisions out of the hands of judges and the common law rules of succession for all types of estates and into the hands of fathers whose appointees would supersede mothers for all rights.
The Statute allowed a father to appoint guardians for all children, thus overriding the mother's powers as guardian by nurture over younger children and extending beyond the grave his guardianship-by-nature powers over the nonpropertied children.
The four-part structure of guardianship law lost most of its potency: the guardianship in chivalry was abolished, the mother as guardian by nurture was preempted, the guardian in socage was often replaced by a testamentary guardian, which shifted child-rearing decisions outside the family, and the father's limited guardianship-by-nature powers were extended over all his children.

This book is a study of two important and related pieces of thirteenth-century English legislation - the Provisions of Westminster of 1259 and the Statute of Marlborough of 1267 - and is the first on any of the statutes of this period of major legislative change.
The Provisions were revised and reissued by the king in 1263, and a further revision in 1267 produced the Statute of Marlborough.
Exceptionally good surviving documentation is used to follow the evolution of the individual clauses from initial suggestions for reform, through a series of drafts, to the various versions of the final texts.
