Forms: Middle English birelage, birlawe, ( birelegia), Middle English–1600s byrelaw(e, 1500s byerlaw, 1500s–1600s berlaw, burlaw, 1600s–1700s birlaw, 1800s bourlaw, dialect byar law, 1500s– byrlaw; also corrupted, esp. in combination, into 1500s byerley, byrla, birla, 1600s birlay, burlie, 1600s–1700s birley, 1700s–1800s birlie, 1800s burley; see birlie n., bourlaw n., burley n.1, by-law n.
Origin: Apparently a borrowing from early Scandinavian. Etymon: Norse *býjar-lög.
Etymology: apparently < Old Norse *býjar-lög, < býjar genitive case of bý-r (= by n.1), dialect variant of bœ́r (bær ) village, town, farm + lög (plural of lag ) law, ‘law community, communion, also a law district’ (Vigfusson); compare by-law n.(The existence of *byjar-, bœ́jar-lög in Old Norse is scarcely proved by the occurrence of bæjar-lögmaðr ‘a town justice’ in Diplomat. Norvegicum of 13–14th cent. (Vigfusson), as a ‘by’ might have its own lögmaðr ‘lawman’ without having its own special law.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈbyrlaw.
archaic or dialect.
1. The local custom or ‘law’ of a township, manor, or rural district, whereby disputes as to boundaries, trespass of cattle, etc., were settled without going into the law courts; a law or custom established in such a district by common consent of all who held land therein, and having binding force within its limits.These laws regulated such matters as the dates of ploughing, the turning out of cattle, the number of cattle turned out by each tenant of common land, the fines for trespass and damage done to fences, etc., the keeping up of fences, sea banks, the pound, the ‘balks’ in fields, and the like.
