Présentation de l'éditeur :
Did you know that the law requiring a London taxi driver to carry a bale of hay on top of his cab to feed the horse was in force until 1976?
That Welshmen are not allowed into the city of Chester after dark?
Or that (under a statute of EdwardII) all whales washed up on the shore belong to the monarch?
In The Strange Laws of Old England, Nigel Cawthorne takes the reader on an entertaining tour of the wilder shores of the British legal system; he has unearthed an extraordinary (and sometimes plain dotty) collection of the most bizarre and arcane laws that have been enacted over the centuries.
Some of the laws, incredibly, are still in force. It is still illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour...
This elegant and amusing book is perfect for anyone fascinated by our remarkable legal heritage.
