That was by Act of Parliament. However, the High Court's decision in James Somerset's case in 1772 was widely understood as freeing slaves in England by virtue of common law. In Scotland there was no right to own another person (although indentured servitude certainly existed as a matter of FACT, rather than LAW). Did this apply to the tailless Manx Cats on the Isle of Man?? I like beer too.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
