OLD CUSTOMS STILL IN USE
Certain Articles Must Be Presented
to the King Of England "a
in Ancient Days.

We (the people of Eng.and) pride
ourselves that we are governed by a
constitutional sovereign and that the
old heresy Of the divine right Of kings
to govern wrongly he's been exploded
and is not likely to be set up again.
Yet occasionally we are reminded Of
an incident or custom which carries
US back to the days of feudallsm.
For instance, the feudal quit rent
for q plot of land in Shropshire, grant
ed to the city Of London in 1911 by
King John. 1t consists of new
Ratchet, a new billbook and two flag
COTS. These articles must be presented
to the king every year by the city cor
poration, and it is fact that the two
faggots are solemnly chopped in pieces
by the city solicitor at the law courts
IN the presence of various high Off
Gals. The "chips," together with
Ratchet and blllbook, are handed 10
the kings remembrancer.
This ceremony is preceded by an,
other of a similar character, for six
horseshoes and sixty-one nails are
handed to the kings representative.
They represent the rent for the plot
of ground now occupied by the law
courts. This plot was occupied at one
time by farrier, whose duty it was
to shoe the horses of the knights who
fought in the tournaments held close
at hand.
King Georges feudal status is even
more marked in the Channel islands
When the sovereign visited Guernsey
some time ago the seigneurs knelt
before him.
They placed their hands between his
and recited the oath of homage in Nor
man French, while the king, reading
from a card held by the queen, con-
flrmed each seigneur in his privileges
The holder of one fief was woman
who, for the land she held, presented
the king with pair Of golden spurs
