Legal basis[edit]
Did an intake require an act of Parliament? If not how were they authorised? I have a vague memory of some rule about one intake every n years in a given area. -- RHaworth 06:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- Apparently not. Everett et al. (Slater Study Group) (2006) "Samuel Slater - Hero or Traitor?" Milford, Derbyshire: Maypole Promotions, defines an intake as "an illegal encroachment on common land. Providing that no-one objected to an intake, it would eventually become the property of its creator"
- Later it is suggested that "in order to regularise undisputed intakes, the [Boundary?] Commissioners recorded them in the Award Document as 'Ancient Enclosed Land.' Chevin (talk) 10:59, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
