Such a little thing. Requiring official stamps on newspapers, legal documents, dice, and playing cards brought £100,000 into the British treasury every year – and cost almost nothing to administer. Half that amount, collected in the colonies, would help pay the cost of a 10,000-man British army stationed in the newly acquired territories of Quebec and Upper Canada.
News of the Stamp Act’s passage in 1765 ignited a firestorm in the thirteen British colonies from New Hampshire to Georgia, though not in Quebec, Nova Scotia, or Britain’s Caribbean domains.
The tax burden was not the issue for American protestors. Such a direct tax and the provisions for its enforcement, they claimed, endangered the right of colonial assemblies to raise their own taxes; denied the right to trial by jury; weakened colonial presses by increasing newspaper prices; and drained already low supplies of precious coins.
A tax to pay for a standing army in their own midst? Not a good idea.

The first day was washed out at Bristol, and much of the second. Kane Williamson made most of his 111 for the home team while proper cricket was being played. We then has some farcical bowling, leading to a declaration, then an innings forfeiture. Even more farcically, Gloucs then blocked for an hour because they had arrived at their agreed 400 too soon!
Eventually, Yorkshire were set 400 to win in a day plus an hour, and proper cricket was resumed. Under no pressure of time, Yorkshire did it easily on day 4, with Phil Jaques making 160 and Gary Ballance 121 *. The justification for the earlier nonsense was the final day's play, and they had a point. To me, the integrity of the game, and of the competition, was compromised.
But that was two wins and three draws from the first five games, as Yorkshire pursued promotion. It was just as well, because the next eight games were all drawn. At Colwyn Bay, only two hours were possible. It rained like the end of the world at Southampton, where Joe Root played one of the great innings. Fewer than 100 overs were possible at Chesterfield. Adam Lyth's 248* at Leicester was in vain as rain came on day 4. This was the wettest summer of my cricketing life, and 1983 took some beating, believe me!
c1420 Brass of John Staverton in his judicial robes, with wife Margaret Brotherton who he married in 1381..
He was the son of William de Staverton 1401
A High Court Judge of Westminster 1380, he was appointed to the office of Baron of the Exchequer in 1399.
His London home was Baynards Castle, near St Paul's Wharf, St Benets Parish.
He was lord of the manor of Staverton Park and lived at the hall there. This was probably affected by the Peasants' Revolt on Sunday 16th June 1381 - it is recorded that rioters under the leadership of William Bernard of Copdock, "broke down the home of John of Staverton", destroyed various Charters and Court Rolls and carried off booty to the value of 100 shillings. They ‘tore open and there likewise broke the various boxes of the said John Staverton and feloniously carried away the written letters with other munitions of the said John to the detriment of the said John Staverton….’ . Two years later a new insurrection took place led by Roger Powel of Eyke.
John de Staverton was an unpopular ‘king’s clerk’, who was one of those appointed to oversee the property forfeitures of the rebels in the wake of the uprising. An inventory of William de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk in 1382 records ‘a manor including a park without deer, now greatly broken down, grazing at Oldmore and Chyfen’.
In 1384 he added to his unpopularity by attempting to do away with a footpath in Rendlesham through Snellings Close.
He was lord of the manors of Staverton, Chcsylford, Cotton, Newton, Skeyth, and rules and perquisites of messuages and lands, in Ash, Rendlesham, Blaxhall, and Marlesford.
In 1428 he surrendered certain lands in Rendlesham to be sold, and the money thus obtained to be used for the welfare of his soul and the souls of his ancestors. These were probably the acres known as Whetcroft. The manor of Chesylford he also gave to the prior and convent at Butley, to pray for his soul and those of his ancestors
After the his death the land seems to have been in the possession of the Airaid family - one Thomas Airaid, who was in 1527, a servant of Cardinal Wolsey.

Hughenden Manor, Hughenden, Buckinghamshire, England, is a Victorian mansion, with earlier origins, that served as the country house of the Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield. It is now owned by the National Trust and open to the public. It sits on the brow of the hill to the west of the main A4128 road that links Hughenden to High Wycombe.
History
The manor of Hughenden is first recorded in 1086, as part of Queen Edith's lands, and held by William, son of Oger the Bishop of Bayeux, and was assessed for tax at 10 hides. After his forfeiture, the lands were held by the Crown, until King Henry I of England gave the lands to his chamberlain and treasurer, Geoffrey de Clinton.[1] Clinton, whose main home was in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, had the lands tenanted by Geoffrey de Sancto Roerio, who resultantly changed his surname to the Anglicised Hughenden.[1] After passing through that family, with successive Kings having to confirm the gift of the lands, the manor returned to the Crown in the 14th century.[1] In 1539, the Crown granted the manor and lands to Sir Robert Dormer, and it passed through his family until 1737 when it was sold by the 4th Earl of Chesterfield to Charles Savage.[1]
After passing through his extended family following a series of deaths and resultant devises by will, by 1816 the manor and lands were owned by John Norris, a distinguished antiquary and scholar.[1] Isaac D'Israeli, the father of Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1868 and 1874–1880, and Earl of Beaconsfield 1876), had for some time rented the nearby Bradenham Manor and, following Norris's death in 1845, bought the manor and lands from his executors in 1847.[1] The purchase was supported with the help of a loan of £25,000 (equivalent to almost £1,500,000 today) from Lord Henry Bentinck and Lord Titchfield. This was because at the time, as Disraeli was the leader of the Conservative Party, "it was essential to represent a county," and county members had to be landowners.[2] Taking ownership of the manor on the death of his father in 1848, Disraeli and his wife Mary Anne, alternated between Hughenden and several homes in London.

The Alienation Office was a British Government body charged with regulating the 'alienation' or transfer of feudal lands without a licence from the Government.
The first regulatory structure for dealing with alienation of lands was created during the reign of Henry III. The king issued an ordnance prohibiting the tenants in chief of feudal lands from alienating those lands without a proper licence from the state. The penalty for not going through the licencing system was forfeiture of the lands concerned. The next major change occurred in 1327, when the penalty for not following the licensing system was changed from forfeiture to a fine. The fine was payable to the Hanaper of the Chancery. As with many British legal and regulatory systems a gradual evolution took place to an accepted system. The penalty for alienating land without a licence became one year's revenue from that land, and the payment required for an alienation licence was one third of the value of the land to be alienated.
In 1576, the Alienation Office itself was first properly established. Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester was granted a 10 year lease which covered the revenues due under the alienation of property licensing regime. The lease also covered the monies payable from 'pre-fines' that became payable during the actual process within the jurisdiction of the Court of Final Pleas. The Office developed from the structures that Dudley created during this period. Ten years later an extension of the lease was granted to Thomas Dudley and Robert Wrotte. They were acting as agents for Robert Dudley. Robert Dudley died in 1588, but the regime he created continued in place, and in 1595 it was further extended. The extension covered fines imposed for writs of entry in the process of common recovery.
During the period of the English Commonwealth there was a brief gap in the office's existence. It was abolished in September 1653, but was resurrected a year later once the value of the revenue it produced was realised. More drastic change occurred in 1661. During that year feudal tenures were finally abolished. The concept of tenure in chief was removed from English law, and regulations restricting the free conveyance of land were removed. However, the Alienation Office was to continue in existence for nearly another 200 years. Following the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the assumption of the throne by William III and Mary II, a new derivation of the powers of control over the Alienation Office was created. From May the following year the Commissioners of the Treasury exercised control over the Office following letters patent. The letters patent were created under the Privy Seal.
During the 18th century a small extension of the jurisdiction of the office took place. In 1758, post fines were dealt with by the Office. It both assessed and collected them. However, sheriffs still continued to remit a sum of equal value to the amount that post fines for their country would have been to the Exchequer. The century closed with an extensive inquiry by a House of Commons select committee into the workings and financing of the office.
The pace of reform in the United Kingdom gather pace in the 1830s, and the structure of the Alienation Office did not survive that decade. In 1834, land conveyancing was reformed, with the system of fines and recoveries being abolished. That left the Alienation Office with no real function. It was consequently abolished in 1835.

What is more certain is that, on condition of an unqualified acknowledgment of his guilt, accompanied by forfeiture of offices and property, it was decided that Somerset should be set at liberty. Self-respect or dignity was not in fashion, and in the eyes of some the submission of the late Lord Protector assumed the character of an “abjectness.”137 For the moment it purchased for him safety, and he was gradually permitted to regain a certain amount of influence and power. Some portion of his wealth was restored to him, and he was at length readmitted to the Council and to a limited share in the government. To sanguine eyes all seemed to have been placed on a satisfactory footing; but jealousy, distrust, and hatred take much killing. The position of the man who was the King’s nearest of kin amongst his nobles, and had lately been all-powerful in the State, was a difficult one. Warwick was rising, and meant to rise; Somerset was not content to remain fallen and discredited. What seemed a peace was merely an armistice.
Meantime Warwick and his friends were no more successful than his rival in maintaining the national honour, and the peace with France concluded during the spring was regarded by the nation as a disgrace. Boulogne was surrendered to its natural owners, and in magniloquent terms war was once more stated to be at an end for ever between the two countries.
Court and courtiers troubled themselves little with such matters, and on St. George’s Day a brilliant company of Lords of the Council and Knights of the Garter kept the festival at Greenwich; when a glimpse of the thirteen-year-old King is to be caught, in a more boyish mood than usual.
Coming out from the discourse preached in138 honour of the day, in high spirits and in the argumentative humour fostered by sermons, the “godly and virtuous imp” turned to his train.
“My Lords,” he demanded, “I pray you, what saint is St. George, that we here so honour him?”
The sudden attack was unexpected, and, the Lords of the Council being “astonied” by it, it was the Treasurer who made reply.
“If it please Your Majesty,” he said, “I did never read in any history of St. George, but only in Legenda Aurea, where it is thus set down, that St. George out with his sword and ran the dragon through with his spear.”
The King, when he could not a great while speak for laughing, at length said:
“I pray you, my Lord, and what did he do with his sword the while?”
“That I cannot tell Your Majesty,” said he.104
Poor little King! poor “godly imp”! It is seldom that his laughter rings out through the centuries. Perhaps some of the grave Councillors or divines present may have looked askance, considering that it was not with the weapon of ridicule that the patron saint of England should be most fitly attacked, but with the more legitimate one of theological criticism. But to us it is satisfactory to find that there were times when even the modern Josiah could not speak for laughing.

CHAPTER XI
1549-1551Lady Jane Grey at home—Visit from Roger Ascham—The German divines—Position of Lady Jane in the theological world.
WHILST these events had been taking place Jane Grey had been once more relegated to the care of her parents, to whose house she had been removed upon the imprisonment of her guardian, the Admiral, in January, 1549. To the helpless and passive plaything of worldly and political exigencies, the change from Seymour Place and Hanworth, where she had lived under Seymour’s roof, to the quiet of her father’s Leicestershire home, must have been great.
Nor was the difference in the moral atmosphere less marked. Handsome, unprincipled, gay, magnificent, one imagines that the Admiral, in spite of the faults to which she was probably not blind, must have been an imposing personage in the eyes of his little charge; and self-interest—the interest of a man who did not guess that the future held nothing for him but a grave—as well as natural kindliness towards a child dependent upon him, will have led him to play the part of her “half-140father” in a manner to win her affection. Was she not destined, should his schemes prosper, to fill the place of Queen Consort? or, failing that, might it not be well to turn into earnest the “merry” possibility he had mentioned to Parry, and, if Elizabeth was denied him, to make her cousin his wife? In any case, so long as she lived in his house, Jane was a guest of importance, of royal blood, to be treated with consideration, cared for, and flattered.
But now the ill-assorted house-mates had parted. Seymour had taken his way to the Tower, as a stage towards the scaffold; and Jane had returned—gladly or sorrowfully, who can tell?—to the shelter of the parental roof, and to the care of a father and mother determined upon neutralising by their conduct any ill-effects produced by her two years of emancipation from their control. Once more she was an insignificant member of her father’s family, the eldest of his three children, subjected to the strictest discipline and, whatever the future might bring forth, of little consequence in the present.
It is possible that Lord Dorset’s fears, expressed at the time when he was attempting to regain possession of his daughter, had been in part realised; and that Jane, “for lack of a bridle,” had “taken too much the head,” and conceived an unduly high opinion of herself—it would indeed have been a natural outcome of the position she held both in her guardian’s house and, as will be seen, in141 the estimation of divines. If this was the case, her mother and he were to do their best to “address her mind to humility, soberness, and obedience.” The means taken to carry out their intentions were harsh.
Of the year following upon Jane’s return to Bradgate little is known; but in the summer of 1550, a picturesque and vivid sketch is afforded by Roger Ascham of the child of thirteen105 upon whom so many hopes centred and so many expectations were built. In the description given in his Schoolmaster106 of the visit paid by the great scholar to Bradgate, light is thrown alike upon the system of training pursued by Lord Dorset, upon the character of his daughter, and upon the spirit she displayed in conforming to the manner of life enforced upon her.
Ascham, in his capacity of tutor to her cousin Elizabeth, had known Jane intimately at Court—so he states in a letter to Sturm, another of the academic brotherhood—and had already received learned letters from her. Before starting on a diplomatic mission to Germany in the summer of 1550, he had visited some friends in Yorkshire, and on his way south turned aside to renew his acquaintance with Lady Jane, and to pay his respects to her father, who stood high in the estimation of the religious142 party to which Ascham belonged. To this visit we owe one of the most distinct glimpses of the girl that we possess.
By a fortunate chance he found “that most noble Lady Jane Grey, to whom I was exceeding much beholden,” alone. Lord and Lady Dorset, with all their household, were hunting in the park, and Jane, in the seclusion of her chamber, was engaged in studying the Phaedo of Plato, “with as much delight as some gentlemen would read a merry tale in Boccaccio,” when Ascham presented himself to her.
The conversation between the scholar and the student places Lady Jane’s small staid figure in clear relief. Notwithstanding Plato’s Phaedo, notwithstanding, too, the sun outside, the sounds of horns, the baying of hounds, and all the other allurements she had proved able to resist, there is something very human and unsaintly in her fashion of unburthening herself to a congenial spirit concerning the wrongs sustained at the parental hands. To Ascham, with whom she had been so well acquainted under different circumstances, she opened her mind freely when, “after salutation and duty done,” he inquired how it befell that she had left the pastimes going forward in the Park.

"Australia's enduring forfeiture is cleary symbolised in the soldier's agonised constraint. and in the sculptor's rendering of his fine and capable hands which surely were created, not to injure others, but rather to nurture a nation. His bare and bandaged head and exposed ears and neck, all combine to poignantly accentuate his vulnerability and remnd those who care to see, that in the final analysis he is a man, everyman."

An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery, passed by the Pennsylvania legislature on 1 March 1780, was the first attempt by a government in the Western Hemisphere to begin an abolition of slavery.
The Act prohibited further importation of slaves into the state, required Pennsylvania slaveholders to annually register their slaves (with forfeiture for noncompliance, and manumission for the enslaved), and established that all children born in Pennsylvania were free persons regardless of the condition or race of their parents . Those enslaved in Pennsylvania before the 1780 law went into effect remained enslaved for life. Another act of the Pennsylvania legislature freed them in 1847.
Pennsylvania's "gradual abolition" — rather than Massachusetts's 1783 "instant abolition" — became a model for freeing slaves in other Northern states.
The 1780 Act prohibited further importation of slaves into Pennsylvania, but it also respected the property rights of PA slaveholders by not freeing slaves already held in the state. It changed the legal status of future children born to enslaved PA mothers from "slave" to "indentured servant," but required those children to work for the mother's master until age 28. To verify that no additional slaves were imported, the Act created a registry of all slaves in the state. Slaveholders who failed to register their slaves annually, or who did it improperly, lost their slaves to manumission. The 1780 Act specifically exempted members of the U.S. Congress and their personal slaves. Congress was then the only branch of the federal government, and met in Philadelphia.
