JOHN HUNT, the Younger, Foreman of the Company or Fraternity of Free Fishermen and Dredgermen of the Manor and Hundred of FAVERSHAM, in the County of KENT. June 13. The Faversham Oyster Fishery,-a company in the nature of a prescriptive corporation,-had power by its constitution (confirmed by an act of parliament of 3 Vict. c. lix.) at certain courts called water-courts to make orders, rules, and regulations for the government and management of the company, and for imposing and levying fines and penalties on its members for the breach or non-observance of such orders, rules, and regulations; and also to appoint a foreman and a jury of twelve who should have the management and regulation of the fishery, and of the affairs of the company. By a water-court order of the 31st of July, 1790, it was ordered amongst other things, "that all such tenants [freemen or members of the company] as have boats shall work for the company in regular turn, unless that he or his boat shall be incapable of doing business, that is to say, each man, being so capable, shall succeed him who worked last, as he stands in the company's list." And by a subsequent order of the 29th of July, 1797, reciting the order of the 31st of July, 1790, it was "declared, ordered, and decreed that nothing in the said recited orders, or either of them, contained, was meant or intended to deprive or hinder, or shall deprive or hinder, the foreman and jury of this company, or the major part of them assembled on the company's affairs, from exercising at all times their ancient and accustomed discretionary powers of regulating the business of the said company, by postponing or setting aside the turn of any of the tenants of this manor and hundred, in doing any business of the said company, for reasons appearing to the said foreman and jury, or the major part of them, to be satisfactory, expedient, or proper, for that purpose." On the 12th of July, 1852, an order to the following effect was made by the foreman and jury :— |
