Case of the Swans : ウィキペディア英語版 | Case of the Swans The Case of Swans (1592) Trinity Term, 34 Elizabeth I volume 7, page 15b, is a landmark decision in English Law. ==Background== Dame Joan Young and Thomas Saunger received a writ from the Exchequer, directing the Sheriff of Dorset to round up 400 loose swans from the rivers of the county. Swans were Royal fowl, however, and a wild swan was considered the property of the monarch.〔Sir Edward Coke, (The reports of Sir Edward Coke in thirteen parts ).J. Butterworth and Son, 1826 page 83〕〔Joseph Chitty, (A treatise on the game laws and on fisheries ). W Clarke 1812 page 834〕 The right to these swans in Dorset had since time immemorial been held by the local abbot, who lost the right along with the abbey to Henry VIII at the dissolution of the Monasteries. Henry then granted the estate to Giles Strangways, whose heir gave them a right to the swans for one year. The new Queen, Elizabeth I, now sought possession of the swans.
