Many old laws in the English statutes

gal form, and amonc Thorn rs Tie right

within the British isles Recently some
fairly valuable gold quartz mines were
discovered on the estate Of pritcl.fi Nor.
gan in North Wales, AMI IT, question
arises whether the owner Of the land can
work the minerals % his own benefit.
There can be 10 doubt that the right Of
property in gold and silver mines WAcr-
ever they be within the realms Is in the
crown, unless the crown has released its
right, not by granting mines-that i not

The origin of the right is said TO be that

Put one of these pads ia each stocking

is to cover the sole Of the foot only with
