THE
"Rights and Liberties
of the
English People"
are secured by
THE
COMMON LAW
OF
ENGLAND.
'...The common law was
a law for all - for the army and the administration no less
than for civilians and subjects; for the noble as much as
the commoner. The judges judged all alike by a
SINGLE LAW, The nobles kicked against the
pricks, and demanded a judgment by peers; their resistance
was unavailing, and silently disappeared. Even
the KING was conceived to be legibus alligatus.
This is the keynote of
MAGNA CARTA;
" for in brief it means this," wrote [Professor] Maitland,"
A chief justice of the fourteenth century could even declare
that he had seen a
WRIT
addressed to
Henry III
,
"Praecipe Henrico
regi Angliae,"
by
which he was summoned to give redress under
the law; and it is certain that the Song of
Lewes (of the year 1264) goes to this
length:
" Think not it is the king's goodwill that
makes the law to be-
For
the law is steadfast and the king has no stability-
NO!
law stands high above the king
[Queen], for law is that true
light
Without whose ray the king
[Queen] would stray, and
wander from the right.
When a king
[Queen] strays, he
[She] ought to be called
back into the way
By
those he
[She] rules, who
lawfully his
[Her] will may disobey
Until he
[She] seeks the path;
but when his
[Her] wandering is o',
They ought to help and succour him
[Her], and love him
[Her] as before."
(translation of
professor York Powell]
'...What it has done is to make progress clothe itself in
the disguise of a recovery of some ancient but forgotten or
neglected, law or right. This is conspicuous in the
struggles of the seventeenth century. The adherents of
the parliamentary side desired progress, and they even went
to war for its sake; but they stood on legal ground and they
called their cause the recovery of the undoubted birthright
and inheritance of Englishmen. They desired as a
member said in 1628,
" to
see the good old decrepit law of
MAGNA CARTA
which
hath so long been kept in and bed-rid as it
were, walking abroad again,"
They sought, in a word, for progress; but it
is called precedent. No doubt precedent gets
twisted and distorted when it is bent to the
course of progress; no doubt progress moves
tortuously, when it has to go by an imagined
way of precedent there is a
certain unreality in a legal revolution;
there is a certain frank directness
in the pure revolutionary doctrine embraced
in FRANCE , of a natural law which
transcends the positive law, and of "natural
rights of men and citizens" which abrogate
legal prescriptions but compromise is dear
to Englishmen; and the compromise between
precedent and progress is peculiarly
characteristic of their history.
Nor is it unfortunate in its results.
It leaves the temper of the law triumphant,
even in the midst of change.
It
makes change less rapid; but it also makes
it more secure. We cannot
advance until we feel that we have secured
our communications with the past, and are
accompanied and guarded by the ghostly
artillery of venerable precedents.

[Is this not the reason that even after 39
years since entering the reputed EEC but in

[Each word has a separate bulletin]
it
is only now in 2012 that YOUR GOVERNMENT is
doing its utmost to destroy the COMMON LAW

until now protected the
"Rights and Liberties of Englishmen"
[As
you will see below today in December of 2012
the same just cause is again being
fought under a present day 2015 (1215) flag
of ENGLISH LIBERTY has been raised once
again in our long history of our people in
our historic ISLAND HOME in the fight to
retain our long fought for INHERITED RIGHTS
