Judgment
Twelve judges decided in favour of the Queen, that,
| “ | that by the law all mines of gold and silver within the realm, whether they be in the lands of the Queen, or of subjects, belong to the Queen by prerogative, with liberty to dig and carry away the ores thereof, and with other such incidents thereto as are necessary to be used for the getting of the ore. | ” |
The neglect of the Earl and his predecessors to work the minerals during seventy years 'had made that questionable which for ages was out of question'.
