To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Cf. Compl. Min. Laws Derb. , pt. Iii, art. 28. "We say that able fit men if they be not miners, if they have parts and be main- tainers of mines and known by the barmaster or his deputy to understand well the custom of the mines, ought to serve for jurors, especially in the difficult and weighty matters and causes. " A long charge from the steward preceded the presentment (Harl. 6380, fol. 67; Add. MS. 6713, fol. 71), in which the jury was charged to de- clare a long list of offenders, includin...g such manorial offences as the breaking of the assize of bread and ale. ^ Cf. Smirke, 98. As to how long actual attendance upon the leet was maintained, and at what period the power began to pass from the hands of the mass of the miners, the records tell us nothing. In Saxony the old miners' assemblies had fallen into disuse by the later Middle Ages (Schmoller, Jb. , xv, 1015) and in Tyrol by 1490-1556 (ibid. , 1016). In some parts of Austria, however, they survived until a later date {ibid. , 1016).
