The Statutes of Westminster were two English ., the law of wreck, and the institution of coroners, measures of Richard and his ministers, come under review as well as the Provisions Of Oxford and the Statute Of Marlborough . The second Statute of Westminster was passed in the parliament of 1285 . Like the first statute it is a code in itself, and contains the, famous clause De Donis Conditionalibus , one of the fundamental institutes of the medieval land law of England. Stubbs says of it: The law of dower, of advowson, of appeal for felonies, is largely amended; the institution of justices of assize is remodelled, and the abuses of manorial jurisdiction repressed; the statute Dc religiosis, the statutes of Merton and Gloucester, are amended and re-enacted. Every clause has a bearing on the growth of the later law. The statute Quia Emptores of 1290 is sometimes called the statute of Westminster III. REFERENCES |
