Randle Blundeville's Charter 1200/1202 stipulated that
if a citizen bought goods before witnesses and in
daylight:

(a) and a Frenchman or Englishman afterwards claimed
that the goods were stolen, then the citizen was to
lose the goods, but be quit of the Earl and his
bailiffs.

(b) if a Welshman, however, claimed that the goods
were stolen, he had to restore to the citizen the
purchase price.

I assume that the unfortunate Welshman, the Frenchman,
and the Englishman as claiments are the original owner
of the subject stolen property. And the Welshman in
this instance is victimised unfairly by the law.

It is interesting that the seller of the transaction
of the claimed stolen property is not addressed under
this law. Presumably the Purchaser has the problem of
tackling the seller for compensation.

Sincerely Yours,
