It is clear that, from the year 1851, the Commissioners of Woods assumed the position with reference to the Forest that Lords of Manors have taken up of late years as to Commons. They asserted that the Crown was practically owner of the Forest, that the Commoners' rights were of little value and might be disregarded, and that as officers of the Crown they were bound to make the very utmost income out of the Forest, with- out regard to the interests of the Commoners or of the public. In 1854, un...der the authority of the Act of 1851, a Commission, of which Mr. Coleridge, now Lord Coleridge, was a member, sat for the purpose of deciding upon the claims of persons entitled as Commoners ; and in spite of the fact that many persons neglected to put in claims, and that the presumptions of the Commission appear to have been rather against the extension of rights, it was held that the owners and occupiers of no less than 65, 000 acres of land, not waste of the Forest, situate in sixty-three parishes, were entitled to turn out their cattle and horses, and to exercise other rights in the Forest, and that the occupiers of 1, 200 houses were entitled to take turf in it for fuel.
