~Sentencing Disparity
People committing the same crime get different punishments in two different places
If they committed a crime in one place, they would receive a different punishment, typically harder, by either a new judge or a lack of resources; therefore, they had a choice to do sentencing in a small town or London; this would be the same in England
*However, they eventually changed that rule, and everyone had to be tried in London, and the ability to own land was available to everyone
**The Nobles needed money after they had to pay the common folk
**The Nobles held the people committing the crime for Surtey ($ if the person goes London or Punishment if they did not) in their dungeons
-Dungeons eventually moved to Gaol (Jail)
~London could sentence a person to Bridewell (workhouse 1557), Transportation (Australia, Savannah, GA), Corporal punishment
