APPENDIX I The 1824 act carefully stipulated that the Commissioner apportion the enclosed lands according to the scale of holdings already in possession of the numerous pro- prietors within the Lordship of Genau'r Glyn, "excepting in right of encroachments which may have been made upon or from the said commons and waste lands for twenty years or upwards before the passing of the said recited Act. The Lord of the Manor was to receive his customary allotment and the poor were to receive allotments in lieu of loss of turbary rights. After very considerable dispute and acrimonious debate, Griffiths' final apportionments were published as set out below.
