Note 733 — MAGNA CARTA. (continued 4)

See article 18 (Select Charters, p. 404). Other articles show a similar strong bias against seignorial justice. Cf. chapter 29 of the Petition of the Barons (Select Charters, 386), and the comment of Pollock and Maitland, I. 182: “The voice of the nation, or what made itself heard as such, no longer, as in 1215, demanded protection for the seignorial courts.”
