<p>66.248.72.52: /* Customs (law) */</p> <hr /> <div>== Customs (law)==<br /> Many areas in [[Europe]] had their own habitual behaviours and expectations of each other. However, to be a source of natural [[law]], a local '''custom''' had to meet certain criteria. <br /> <br /> It had to be<br /> * clear, certain, and consistent<br /> * reasonable<br /> * obligatory and exercised as of right<br /> * geographically local<br /> * in conformity with any applicable [[statute]]s (otherwise these overrode the custom)<br /> * continuously held since &quot;time immemorial&quot;<br /> <br /> '''Time immemorial''', ''per se'', meant a time antedating any legal history. However, for clarity, this was taken by reference to a particular voyage of the [[King]] of [[England]] to [[France]]. In 1275/6, again to avoid complication, this was finally fixed to have been at the beginning of the reign of [[Richard I]] in 1189.<br /> <br /> This had the additional effect that a claimed custom could thereafter be defeated simply by showing that its exercise would hve been impossible at that time -- for example a claimed customary right of grazing on land which, on enquiry, proved to have been underwater at or since 1189.<br /> <br /> == Customs (tax)==<br /> A '''custom''' is a levy or duty applied on something. <br /> <br /> Quoting from Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary<br /> :[a custom is] a [[tax]] imposed by the [[Roman]]s. The [[tax collector|tax-gatherers]] were<br /> :termed publicans (q.v.), who had their stations at the gates of cities,<br /> :and in the public highways, and at the place set apart for that<br /> :purpose, called the &quot;receipt of custom&quot; (Matt.9: 9; Mark 2:14),<br /> :where they collected the [[money]] that was to be paid on certain<br /> :goods (Matt.17:25). These publicans were tempted to exact more<br /> :from the people than was lawful, and were, in consequence of<br /> :their extortions, objects of great hatred. The Pharisees would<br /> :have no intercourse with them (Matt.5:46, 47; 9:10, 11).<br /> <br /> :A [[tax]] or tribute (q.v.) of half a shekel was annually paid by<br /> :every adult [[Jew]] for the temple. It had to be paid in Jewish [[coin]]<br /> :(Matt. 22:17-19; Mark 12:14, 15). Money-changers (q.v.) were<br /> :necessary, to enable the Jews who came up to [[Jerusalem]] at the<br /> :[[feast]]s to exchange their foreign coin for Jewish money; but as<br /> :it was forbidden by the law to carry on such a traffic for<br /> :emolument (Deut. 23:19, 20), our Lord drove them from the temple<br /> :(Matt. 21:12: Mark 11:15).<br /> == SCA customs ==<br /> The [[SCA]] has various customary behaviours that are not always explicitly written into [[laws|law]]. <br /> === Customs ===<br /> *Wearing [[garb]]<br /> *[[Tradition]]s<br /> <br /> === Manners ===<br /> *[[Period Manners]]<br /> *[[Addressing Royalty]]<br /> *[[the difference]] between lack of manners and not knowing polite manners<br /> *[[Real weapons in the SCA]]<br /> <br /> === Duty ===<br /> *[[duty to god]]<br /> *[[duty to the crown]]<br /> *being a [[squire]]</div>
