Excerpt from Six Essays on Commons Preservation: Written in Competition for Prizes Offered by Henry W. Peek, Esq., Of Wimbledon House; Containing a Legal and Historical Examination of Manorial Rights and Customs, With a View to the Preservation of Commons Near Great Towns
This proposal on the part of the Lord of the Manor was founded on legal advice that he was practically owner in fee of the Common, that he could dispose of it in the same manner as he had disposed of his inclosed demesne lands, without the legal consent of the com monets. In this view of his legal position there could not be a doubt as to the generous nature of the offer or of the intentions which actuated him; but, on the other hand, it soon became apparent that there were those who took a different view of the rights of the Lord, and as many of the details of the scheme were not of a nature to be satisfactory to the residents on the Common and in the neighbourhood, these differ enoce were not long in making themselves heard.
