THE DUKEDOM OF CORNWALL.
The county of Cornwall is under peculiar jurisdiction
namely, that of the " Duke of Cornwall." The duchy
of Cornwall was created in 1337, in favour of Edward the
Black Prince, and settled by Act of Parliament on • the
eldest son of the Sovereign of England. The Duke
thence enjoyed large revenues arising from the Lordship
of castles, boroughs, and manors, granted to him in Corn-
wall and Devonshire, the profits arising from the "coin-
age "of tin, and various other sources. The annual
revenue from the average of the three years subsequent
to the death of the Black Prince was 2,4931. 7s. 34d. ;
the clear revenue in the lith year of Henry VIII.
amounted to 10,0951. lls. 94-cl.; in the 44th year of Queen
Elizabeth, in 160 D, it had ta:llen to 4,5691. 12s. 24d ; and
at the publication of Messrs. Lysons' " Magna
Britannia," in 1814, the gross amount was esti-
mated at 24,0001., of which 8,500/. arose from
the tin duty in the county of Cornwall, and
3,500/. from the rents of manors, fines, &c., in the
same county. 'The sources whence the remainder was
derived are not here enumerated. Before the war of
1793, the tin duty had amounted to 14,0001. per annum.
The inunedinte.governrnent of the county was vested in
the Duke, who still had his Chancellor, Attorney-Gene-
ral, and Solicitor-General and his Court of Exchequer;
ho also appointed his Sheriffs. The mining trade is under
the separate jurisdiction of the Stannary Courts ; the
Lord Warden of the Stannaries and the Vice-Warden are
at the head of this jurisdiction, with a final appeal to the
Duke and his Council. The miners claim to be free from
all jurisdiction, except that of the Stannary Courts, ex-
cept in cases affecting land, life, or limb. The Vice-
Wardea's Court is held once a month, and is a court of
equity for all matters relating to the tin mines and trade.
No writ of error lies to the Courts at Westminster, but
there is an appeal to the Warden, and from him to the
Duke in Council; or, when the duchy is vacant, to the
the Stannary Courts,
Sovereign in Council. Issues are frequently directed by
the Vice-Warden to be tried in
