in Devonshire and Cornwall, for the administration of justice among the miners therein. They are held before the lord-warden and his substitutes, in virtue of a privilege granted to the workers in the tin-mines there, to sue and be sued only in their own courts, that they may not be drawn from their business, which is highly profitable to the public, by attending their law-suits in other courts. The privileges of the miners are confirmed by a charter, 33 Edw. I. and fully expounded by a private statute, 50 Edw. III. which has since been explained by a public act, 16 Car. I. c. 15. What relates to our present purpose is only this: That all miners and labourers in and about the stannaries shall, during the time of their working therein, bona fide, be privileged from suits of other courts, and be only pleaded in the stannary court in all matters, excepting pleas of land, life, and member. No writ of error lies from hence to any court in Westminster hall; as was agreed by all the judges, in 4 Jac. I. But an appeal lies from the reward of the court to the under warden; and from him to the lord warden; and thence to the privy-council of the prince of Wales, as duke of Cornwall, when he hath had livery or investiture of the same. And from thence the appeal lies to the king himself, in the last resort.
