OWLING

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 398 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
OWLING , in
English
  law, the offence of transporting
wool
  or sheep out of the
kingdom
 ,,to the detriment of the
staple
  manufacture of
wool
 . The name is said to owe its origin to the fact that the offence was usually carried on at night-
time
 , when the owls were abroad. The offence was stringently regulated by a
statute
  of
Edward
  III. (1336-7), while many subsequent statutes also dealt with it. In 1566 the offence was made punish-able by the cutting off of the left hand and nailing it in a public
place
 . By a
statute
  of r66o the ship and cargo were to be forfeited. In the reign of George I. (17171718) the
penalty
  was altered to transportation for seven years. The offence was abolished in 1824.
