  • Summary

    The writer has had an opportunity of copying and translating an interesting document which is in Mr. W. Glassby’s (Renhold) private collection of manuscripts. It proves to be a grant of Free Warren to Newenham Priory by Richard II. and is dated 20 November, 1385. The writing is in good black ink, and is as legible as the day it was written. Apparently nothing is known of the history of the deed, but we may assume that it was in the possession of Newenham Priory before the dissolution. In this connection it is interesting to recall that Mr. Glassby read a paper some time ago, before the Bedford Archaeological Society, on “ Bedford Town and Townsmen in 1507,” founded on notes from the “ Rent Roll of Newenham Priory,” which was also in his collection of documents.

  • Escaping Borstal Boys and the Immunity of Office

  • C. J. Hamson
  • Journal:
    The Cambridge Law Journal / Volume 27 / Issue 2 / November 1969

  • Should the Home Office be liable for damage done by Borstal boys “escaping” from an “open” Borstal? On the other side of the Channel the liability of the state in the case of the near-equivalent “institution publique d'éducation surveillée” has been settled in two exceptionally interesting judgments of the Conseil d'Etat, Thouzellier, 3 February 1956, Rec. 49, and Trouillet, 9 March 1966, Rec. 201, the grounds of which repay study. In England a county court judge had held in 1951 that there was liability (Greenwell v. Prison Commissioners, 101 L.J. 486): the judgment was widely noticed and not appealed against. Now, eighteen years later, in Dorset Yacht Co. Ltd. v. Home Office [1969] 2 W.L.R. 1008 the Home Office, that compulsive defender of prerogative and atavistic privilege, seek to establish as a matter of law that they cannot be liable, however gross the dereliction of duty by the Borstal officers.
