Example sentencesExamples The Duke may rule on matters, but rulings by the stannary courts were independent to any powers held at Westminster. Chagford was made a Stannary town in 1305, and had a stannary court for regulating tin mining operations. It is to the tinners and their stannary courts that responsibility for this harsh justice lies. It housed the Town Hall, magistrates and stannary courts, police offices and cells and the fire brigade. It is noted that stannary courts were abolished under the Stannaries Court Act 1896.
