Quotation of the Day for June 12, 2015



"No Freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, or be disseised [dispossessed] of his Freehold, or Liberties, or free Customs, or be outlawed, or exiled, or any other wise destroyed; nor will We not pass upon him, nor condemn him, but by lawful judgment of his Peers, or by the Law of the Land. We will sell to no man, we will not deny or defer to any man either Justice or Right."

- from the Magna Carta (1215), written 800 years ago this month and issued by King John in June 1215. These clauses remain part of British law to this day.
